Abstract

"Pioneer settlers in the Visalia section, uncertain of the reception to be expected from the Indians, gathered for a period in a stockade constructed on a portion of the block now surrounded by East School, North Bridge, North Garden and East Oak streets. The defense was constructed of logs, placed side by side with the lower ends buried four feet deep in a ditch and standing about 14 feet high. Covered wagons, which served as temporary homes until cabins could be built, were drawn into this inclosure."
