Dleffenbacher, D.D. Thoughts, ideas and important decisions occur at odd moments of the day or night.

We determined good drinking water. This was to remember these things, but we solved by diuuing a larjje deep cistern. It be interesting to note that this cistern in later years fell down at the edges, filled up from the bottom and became known as "Round Pond." At the top of a little hill near the camp the soldiers entrenched and built their barracks. rifle pits, each largo enough to hold 6 to 8 soldiers, were dujj on "Buttc-Pctilc" facing the river.

As the story goes, Sieur Charles Juchereau de St. Denis was grant-' ed a royal patent by King Louis XIV of France to establish a tannery on the Ohio in the Illinois country for the purpose of killing and skinning all the buffalo he could find. Juchereau organized a company of 150 men and traveled to the Illinois country at the head of the Grand Chain of Rocks where he established Va Bache.

Gnided by Indians The party, including a priest, Father Mermet, left Kaskaskia by boat for the destined tannery at the head of the Grand Chain of Rocks At Burnham's Island near Fayvillc the party went ashore with the intention of walking overland to Va Bache because Juchereau had been to Tacaogone and knew there were rapids near the post.
