This monument replaces one previously erected north of town near the site of this historic event. Over the years the original marker was weather-eroded and vandalized.

Lewis Lund, an eighteen-year-old herdsman, along with Jasper Robertson, Swen Anderson, Albert Collard and Charles Jones were guarding the Fountain Green settlement’s stock north of town. Indians swooped down upon the herdsmen, shooting and driving off the cattle and horses. They shot and killed Lewis Lund. The other herdsmen escaped.
