Papers and Records of the Wentworth Historical Society, 1915, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)

Wentworth Historical Society
4.9/5 (17830 ratings)
Description:Excerpt from Papers and Records of the Wentworth Historical Society, 1915, Vol. 6 My brother and I have spent a considerable portion of our spare time, during the last few years, in getting together a col lection of Indian relics from this district, and at present have between three and four thousand specimens, the majority hav ing been found within twenty miles of Hamilton. While we are naturally proud of our success as collectors, and continually finding new articles and places of interest, we must regretfully admit that we are seventy years too late in the archeological field in Ontario. When the early settlers came here they found mounds, unmolested, graves still covered with the at stones placed on them to protect the remains from wild animals. Those stones have been removed that the land could be plowed. The plow does not generally work deep enough to turn up the remains, and hence the location remains undiscover ed, unless a groundhog should chance to turn them out, or a bank slips down by some stream side, bringing along with it its signs of prehistoric times. In those early colonial days many splendid archaeological specimens were unearthed and destroyed or thrown aside as useless. Foreign countries profited by our lack of interest and have in their museums collections of Indian relics which will be hard to beat by any of us, or even all of us combined.
