Excerpt from Western Scenes and Reminiscences: Together With Thrilling Legends and Traditions of the Red Men of the Forest, to Which Is Added Several Narratives of Adventures Among the Indians The next Object of antiquarian interest, in my descent, was at Gallipolis -the Site of an original French settlement on the west bank, which is connected with a Story of much interest, in the history of western migrations. It is an elevated and eligible plain, which had before been the site of an Indian, or aboriginal settlement. Some of the articles found in a mound, such as plates of mica and sea shells, and beads of the wrought conch, indicated the same remote period for this ancient settlement, as the one at Grave Creek Flats; but I never heard of any inscribed articles, or monuments bearing alphabetic characters.
