Excerpt from The Indiana Quarterly Magazine of History, 1912, Vol. 8 The Indianians who were but little past middle age in 1860, could recall not only these strange and curious beginnings, but also the denials, the hardships and sufferings, not to say the tragedies, of life, in the pioneer Indiana settlements. Just one hundred years ago this year occurred the massacre in Pigeon Roost Settlement, not far from the early home of the Englishes in Scott county. When Bingham and Doughty of this city pub lished John B. Dillon's well-known History of Indiana in 1859, Zebulun Collings, a survivor of the massacre, was still alive, from whose lips the historian had some account of the conditions in the country at the time of the tragedy. I cannot here recount the story of these trials. I merely refer to them to indicate by what hardships the soldiers of civilization were founding our young comonwealth, and how'recent these events must have seemed to the older men when the boys of '61 were entering upon their struggle for the Union.

Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1906, Vol. 4 Pipe band of the 5th Royal Scots of Canada, Highlanders, from Montreal and the Regimental band and a Battalion of the 5th Infantry, U. S. A., from Plattsburgh were the principal features of the parade. It was particularly appropriate that the Royal Scots should be present, as they are allied to the Black Watch and wear the same uniform and in fact are soon to be known as the 3d Battalion of the Black Watch. It was also an education to die thousands of spectators, few, if any of whom had ever seen Highlanders in full regimentals marching to the music of bagpipes. After the exercises of the day, the Royal Scots visited the ruins of old Fort Ticonderoga, about two miles from the village and the picture of a body of Highlanders with their scarlet coats and tartan kilts marching up the green slope of the old ramparts, with die setting sun behind them, was one never to be forgotten and which had probably not occurred before since the Revolution. The officers of the present Black Watch regiment, now stationed at Fort George, Scotland, being advised of the Memorial, sent the following letter to the secretary of die Ticonderoga Historical Society: Dear Sir: Your letter of 9th Sept. 1905, on the subject of a Black Watch Memorial, has been perused by the Commanding Officer and the Officers of the 1st battalion The Black Watch, formerly called the 42d Royal Highland Regiment and it was also submitted and discussed at the Annual Gathering of Black Watch Officers - past and present - recently held in Edinburgh. I am authorized to inform you that all Ranks of the Regiment are proud to know that the Ticonderoga Historical society has decided to appropriate an alcove in the Ticonderoga Free Public Library as a memorial to the 42d Regiment, to commemorate their services in the engagement before Fort Ticonderoga on July 8, 1758. The suggestion contained in your letter, to the effect that Officers of the Regiment might be disposed to erect a tablet on a wall of the Alcove to the memory of the Officers and men of the 42d who were killed or wounded in the action has met with the unanimous approval of those to whose notice it has been brought, and I am to inform you that such a Tablet will gladly be provided and that the work of executing the Tablet will be entrusted to a London firm as soon as a suitable design has been decided upon. In order to assist us in choosing a suitable form of tablet I shall be much obliged if you can favor me with a rough plan of the alcove, the dimensions of the actual wall on which the Tablet will rest, and an idea of the general style of the building. I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as you can conveniently supply the information for which I have asked.
