Description
Excerpt from Primitive Industry: Or Illustrations of the Handiwork, in Stone, Bone and Clay, of the Native Races of the Northern Atlantic Seaboard of America
As in the course of my rambles in search of relics, I have always met with kindness and aid from all who could assist me, it is scarcely practicable to mention every one who kindly offered assistance, gave me specimens, and in other ways furthered the undertaking. Many, however, have been named in the text, in connection with the speci mens they have furnished, or the information derived from them.
Still I feel it is incumbent upon me to acknowledge my indebted ness to Prof. F. W. Putnam, Curator of the Museum of Archaeology, at Cambridge, Mass., and to Lucien Carr, Esq., assistant curator of the same institution. Without the aid so kindly rendered by them, it is doubtful if the volume could have been completed.
I am also indebted to the late Prof. S. S. Haldeman for the kindly interest he took in all that pertained to the preparation of the work. The treasures of his cabinet were always at my disposal, and I have drawn from it and from his correspondence, almost all the matter relating to the archaeology of the valley of the Susquehanna river.
