Book Title: History Of Oceana County

In Golden we observed a number of curiously arranged pits or depressions, now 
not much over one or two feet in depth, which were probably intended, like our 
modern rifle pits, for defensive purposes.  That they are very ancient, is 
evident from the fact of large pines growing in some of the pits.  they are 
not arranged in an arc, or even diagonally, but still, however irregular they 
may seem, evidently with a view to skillful defence.  Those that we saw were 
on Section 15, but they exist in other parts of the town.
