A historic settlement in Bismarck, North Dakota, Double Ditch Indian Village State Historic Site is filed here for what the record attaches to it.

The dossier holds 1 documented fact — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. The site is open to visitors.

Double Ditch is the emptied — the 'Mandan' that's the people's name, the '300 years' that's the village's span. The 'smallpox' is the killer — the '1781' that's the plague's year, the '10,000' that's the valley's count. The 'earthlodges' is the built — the '150 trees' that's the house's cost, the 'women built' that's the labor's truth.
The 'seven villages' is the clustered — the 'Heart River' that's the mouth's name, the 'trade center' that's the towns' role. The 'ditches' is the defended — the 'bastions' that's the walls' teeth, the 'midden mounds' that's the trash's height. Double Ditch is the read — the 'remote sensing' that's the survey's tool, the '2,000' that's the revised count.
The file keeps Double Ditch: the emptied village, the smallpox's path, the earthlodge depressions, and the read ground.
Double Ditch is the archive's North Dakota file — the city the plague took.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Double Ditch is the archive's North Dakota file — the metropolis before the state.
A village keeps its ditches — the file's suggestion being that the site's hold is the scaled: the '10,000' that's the valley's population, the 'earthlodges' that's the homes' form, and the 'smallpox' that's the ending's name.
