RANDOM CRANDON POST

i think i better give you the contents of the battle of mole lake marker.

this is the home of the sokoagon band of the chippewa tribe. according to tradition handed down from one generation to the next, the first chief of the band was Gitshee ki-ji-wa-be-she-shi, or the great marten.
each summer the sokoagon band came to mole lake to fish and hunt, and in the fall they harvested wild rice before they followed the deer herds into the swamps of the peshtigo river for the winter season.
about 1806 bands of souix from the north and west tried to gain control of the rice beds. a fierce hand to hand battle resulted. the indians, armed with bows and arrows and clubs, fought a long, hard battle.
over 500 chippewa and souix were killed and buried here in a common moun. the battle was expensive for the souix, who retreated westward and never again attempted to return.
