Author Description

Excerpt from The Aborigines of the District of Columbia and the Lower Potomac: A Symposium <p>It has been my constant desire since then to enlarge this paper so as to compare the geological structure of this area with that of the Delaware valley, for instance to note and describe residence sites, workshops, paint and soapstone quarries 5 to make a study of all the forms of stone implements found in this region and to rehabilitate them - that is, to collate them with their proper functions by means of hundreds of thousands of the implements and weapons of modern savagery which I have handled over and over again in the National Museum. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
