HISTORY OF SYRACUSE SETTLED IN 1835 l The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee, compiled by George W. Milts, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 1909: Indians Geared First Field. Probably the first field off which the trees were cleared away in Kosciusko county, surely in this part of it, was across the end of the lake from the foot of Main street in the i town of Syracuse, where the old orchard has long stood on the Ott farm, and it was cleared by the Indians. How they managed to get the trees off it heaven knows. Perhaps they felled them with axes seJ cured from their white neighbors to the east; but one can hardly picture a proud old buck, his dignity j lowered to such a level as the act I would imply, hacking at the trunk ! of a great oak with an ax . Nor is it easily conceivable that the squaws were able to hew them down in this manner. It is more probable that they M’ere deadened with fire and permitted to decay, as some of the • lands to this day are cleared by the negroes in the southern states, where great blackened trunks may be seen standing, arms lifted in solemn warning, like ghosts come back to haunt [ the descreators of the forest. But, however it was done, it is certain | that the first white persons that ar- | rived here found a cleared field at i the place designated, and the Indians “cultivating" therein maize, and probably tobacco. And Indian Hill, across the lake from where Pearl street in Syracuse runs down to it, was a place of some sort of ceremonies, or dances, or incantations, the meaning of which we do not know, though we wish we did, s°o that we could tell you. What we do know is that the ground on top of it was barren of grass, and was patted down solid by the feet of the natives in their ceremonies there. And it was reported in after years that it had been used, too, as | a burial place for children, whose coffins, made by burning hollow places in logs, were hung in the trees there, but we were never able to varify this report, and whether it is true we cannot tell you. And in- | deed, it matters little whether it is true.. Certain it is that this little I mound was sacred ground to the aborigines, and its name is most fitting and should never be changed. Across Wawasee the lake 4 from Black Stump Point (changed to Lake View by George Lamb and Joe Moore, who did no service for the I' lake when they made the change) to Bowser's Landing (now Wright Place) lies what has been known as I long as the oldest settlers can remember as Trail, and there is a legend that the Indians used to I ride across the lake there on their ponies, though the distance across is nearly a mile and a half. And we used to accept this legend without question, though the water there I now is too deep to be forded; for you must remember that no dam had yet been built across the outlet of the lake and the water therein, was shallower than we know it. True, there is a deep ravine running down the south side of the lake just out from Black Stump Point, but it is narrow and the Indian ponies could easily have swum across it. But of late years we have learned that the bottom of the from where the shallow water begins after crossing this ravine, almost to the north shore, is soft marl, into which the < ponies would have sunk and through which it must have been quite impossible for them to have made their way; and so we have been compelled to discredit the story. But “The Indian Trail" remains—and it is good fishing ground all the way across. Another similar story is more credible—indeed, is true. Mary McClintic, relict of Eaten McClintic, one of the very earliest settlers, and mother of William McClintic, who now lives in Syracuse, whose home was near the south end of the lake, used to tell of seeing the Indians ride on their ponies across the lake from the point that extends into it a half mile south of where Bishop White’s chapel now stands at Bishcroft, to Cedar Point. Here is the widest portion of the lake—fully a mile and a half. And here, too, the ponies must have swum across two deep galleys, or channels, each one of which is narrow, however. But the rest of the way the bottom of the lake is all hard gravel, and the water is shallower than over the Indian Trail. Indeed, on the long flat just about the middle of the lake, directly between Ogden and Morrison Islands, the water now, when the lake is full, is no more than four feet deep, so that it must have been almost bare before the dam was built, and the bottom is so hard that you eannot drive a stake into it so that it will stand alone. So there was, in truth, an Indian trail, across the lake where it is the very widest, but for some reason it never became known 1 by that name, which was given to the shallows more a mile farther west. And this “Indian Trail" that we had known so long, when the boys of the biological station of the Indiana University came to take soundings and map the bottom of the

lake, proved to be not a “trail," —a narrow ridge, as it had always been believed to be, but a portion of a large flat that extends all down the north side of the lake from Ogden Island to the outlet. And that was somewhat of a shock too. But no matter. Whether the Indians ever rode their ponies over it, and whether it is a “trail” at all, or only a por tion of a tract that would appear like a large level farm if the water were taken off it, the Indian Trail it is and ever has been, and the Indian Trai it shall ever be to the writer of these'■ 'papers, however many of his fond old beliefs in regard to it he shall have to give up. 1 i '■ # LITERARY LORE By Bessie Witherel Ballard I 1 Good Afternoon! For one who loves to read there are books of varied character. There are many by-paths in the world of Literature; paths that at first seem made up of dry, uninteresting material. Not all books deal with the imagination; not all books aim to be diverting in any sense; but, to the alert mind, treatises on even the dullest subjects often convey information that sets the wheels of imagination whirling, and,- in, spite of ourselves, we are interested. Farrar and Rinehart in their Spring catalogue writes: “As the years go on, an increasing number of books about books and writing are appearing and will continue io appear on our list. Perhaps a quick glance would tend to place these books in an academic catagory. Yet, as we write this catalogue, one of the most distinguished books of this kind, Frank Swinnerton’s “The Georgian Scene," is going into its fourth printing. As this indicates, many people wish to continue their familiarity with new literature trends and to renew* their acquaintance with writing in the past” A book similar to “The Georgian Scene,” has just been published. An announcement recently received from its publishers says: “On May 15th Charles Scribner’s Sons will publish “Magical City” a book of drawings of New York by Vernon Howe Bailey, internationally known for his sketches and the marvels of Manhattan. There are about 120 full page black and white drawings, reproduced by off-set. Opposite each drawing Arthur Bartlett Maurice has written a page of explanatory text. ” Many years ago, a young man was running an elevator in a large city store. For days, he had been reading a big book constantly. A customer who had chanced to ride in the elevator several times and had noticed that the operator seemed to be reading the same book all the time, asked what it was. The young man answered, “Webster’s Dictionary!” Perhaps it was he who started the long trek upward in the now very popular “Better Speech Movement” However, the study of words is fascinating. Each word came into existence only as it was needed; and it was always needed to clarify an incident or incidents of value. The proper use of words make clear, simple, reading. That is one reason why the books of some writers are so beautiful. When you are in the mood to read some short stories, try “Obscure Destinies,” by Willa Cather; a collection of short tales not only interesting but beautifully written.
