"The spring and summer of 1862, were full of promise to the young County of Minnehaha, and had the Indians remained quiet all would have gone well.

"The spring and summer of 1862, were full of promise to the young County of Minnehaha, and had the Indians remained quiet all would have gone well. In August the Indian massacres on the frontier of Minnesota were perpetrated. The settlers were thoroughly alarmed, and when messengers arrived with orders from the governor for the soldiers to proceed to Yankton and bring the settlers with them, they hastily gathered up such property as could be easily carried. After their departure the Indians entered the village, destroyed everything they found, and set fire to the buildings. They ended the pioneer labors of the old Smith press by throwing it into the river, where it laid until 1871, when it was rescued and placed on exhibition in the town. A part of it was sold to True Dennis, at that time popularly known as the village blacksmith, and the bed lay for some time near where E. B. Smith's furniture store is now located, but Hiram Caldwell, living north of Sioux Falls, took it home and used it for a door step. R. F. Pettigrew discovering the use to which it was being put, and thinking it should be preserved as a relic of the first newspaper enterprise in the county, gave Mrs. Caldwell five dollars for it, and now has it in his possession." Dakota Panorama states, "the Indians threw the printing press into the Sioux River" and it became a doorstep at the home of Hiram Caldwell. Gladys Caldwell Gannon tells of their great grandfather Hiram Caldwell in the building of the first fort and an Indian raid which destroyed the first settlement in Sioux Falls. She treasured an inkwell from that first fort, a heavy-metal-trunk-shaped inkwell, complete with straps. Her brother Marvin locates Hiram Caldwell in Sioux Falls in the later 1850s, in the army's 1863 construction of Fort Dakota. If Hiram Caldwell helped to build Fort Sod, he would have been in Sioux Falls 1857-58.
