When the French came into North America below Canada in the 1700`s they wanted to build a fort. They asked the Indians if there was a source of rocks that they could blast out with black powder and carve up for stone blocks to build their fort. The Indians said.."You do not have to blast nor carve.. Come, we will show you a cliff that has been blasted out before our ancestors arrived here." The Indians took the French to a blasted out cliff face 300 feet high.,
There was a "hill of stones" blocks some 6-12 feet long, 3-4 feet wide strewn in a pile nearby. I heard this story handed down in my family when I was 8 years old.. I climbed on this hill of stone blocks when I was a kid. It was then only 40 feet high and several hundred feet long. The "hill of stones" appears on a British map of 1759. The stones I saw and clambered over had very smooth faces and very sharp edges almost like knife edbges coz you coulod cut yourself on them. On two streets here the houses have some of these stone blocks as their foundations. One man dug a foundation fior a deck and found scores of hese stone blocks. They were dug up and transported 4 miles to be used as the wall for a dam at the golf course. Evidently the French used these blocks to build several forts on those streets. The fort outlines can be seen on 1750`s British maps.
Sounds like a story for Ancient American http://www.ancientamerican.com/
