Marker Text
East Wall, Yankton Stockade
In September 1862, after a skirmish with hostile Indians near James River, it was determined to finish stockade at once, north wall being sod with ditch in front already finished, and East wall of posts with boards on either side with earth packed between. It was completed overnight. This wall 450 feet long was about 150 feet west of this marker.
