Fort Pearce Sign
"Fort Pearce was built by the Mormon Colonists during the Black Hawk war of 1865-72, a period of conflict between Ute and Navajo Indians and the settlers. This location was selected to block the use of the springs below by hostile Indians. Originally, the walls of the fort were about 8 feet high. The structure was never roofed."
