This is a fascinating book that was only made possible with the cooperation and help of Captain Frederic A. Godcharles, at that time State Librarian, and Mr. John Walls, of the Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation who delayed the Safe Harbor Dam Project which eventually flood the archeological sites. Because the dam project was delayed the excavations were able to exhume 28, 000 important human remains, bottles, stone wear, arrows, war axes, trade goods, jewelry, bone carvings, etc., etc. The outcome of the archaeological work is described in the following report.
