  2. Forts

    Share Share Post
    The belief always existed, and does so still, that it was not right to meddle with forts.
    One farmer, not far from here, thought he would plough up a fort on his farm, and plant trees there, but ere he had many sods ploughed, his pair of horses took sick and were both dead the following morning.
    Another farmer, having planted potatoes in a fort field took away some stones from the fort to fence the field. That night he felt the middle finger of his right hand painful.
    It grew more painful and swollen and finally resulted in his death.
