Historical Development of Education in Sioux City COUNCIL OAK TREE In Riverside Park stands the old Council Oak or Medicine Tree, of the Indians. It is thought, by many, to be nearly one thousand years old. It may be that the Indians met under its gnarlcd limbs to talk about strange boats that passed up and down the river in 1804: and it may be that they counciled together there, about the persistency of the white men to take posses- sion of their hunting grounds. WAR EACLE'S GRAVE War Eagle, a member of the Sioux Nation, died in 1861, and was buried on a high hill at a western edge of this city. This monument was erected in memory of his friendship to the white men by the War Eagle Memorial Association ol Sioux City, in 1922. FLOYD MONUMENT Floyd Monument marks the burial place of Sergeant Charles Floyd, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, who died in his country's service and was buried near this place August 20, 1804. This monument was erected in 1900 by the Floyd Memorial Association, aided by the United States and the State of Iowa. HERBERT QUICK RAVINE V The Herbert Quick Ravine is a very scenic ravine located south of Morningside, and named in memory of Herbert Quick, a statesman, writer and mayor of Sioux City who died in 1925.
