  • The Land The Land .... whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.... Galatians 6:7

In Minnesota Territory before 1870, there were the Chippewa Indians east of the Pomme de Terre River, and the Sioux Indians to the west. There is an Indian dugout above the Pomme de Terre River, along the south side of Highway 28. There is an indentation in the hillside, still to this day in vergin soil, which always greens up first in the springtime; this is where an Indian family lived, and spent there last winter on this land.

My grandfather, Andrew C. Satter, came to this place, called Morris, in 1871. He filled a Homestead Claim of 80 acres, which was located on the flats above tha Pomme the Terre bluffs. He spent the first winter in his sod house, at the same time the Indians were living down the hillside, only a short distance away. One day, come spring, the Indians were gone.
