Very intresting.
I have a Big stone Axe head i found in and extinct volcano crater in Queensland Australia.
Its very Heavy and if you got schwact with it you would be in Troble.
The Edge is so nice a Curve i was very impressed when i found it.
The pinkish coloured arrowhead (top left, bottom picture) looks to be made from Flint Ridge, Ohio material, the others are made from local Onandaga chert.
Thanks for the comments.
I lived in Bothwell during the years of WW11 and never walked the fields on the north side of the Thames - but I had relatives, by marriage to my mother who farmed in that immediate area and these items were picked up by the farmers working the land. I inherited the lot in a box, and put them on a display board for our daughter for show and tell. As for the last quote, yes, the followers of Tecumseh came from south of the Great Lakes, there Tecumseh and his brother, the Prophet, led their people north to fight against the Yanks because of the incursion into their ancestoral territory by the Yankee push west. Proctor, the British General was not a great soldier and from my readings, was no hero. The only hero in this battle was Tecumseh, little known in Canada. He should be recognized better than the town of Tecumseh and a few streets named after him. His body was not left on the battlefield but spirited away by his friends, to an un known burial site.
I've a first cousin who taught school in Chatham who tells me that he taught a mixed race lad who claimed that Tecumseh was burried on the bank of the Sydenham River to the north.
The Yankee army had a number of wild Kentuckian cavalry and it is said that it was them who over ran the Indian allies, while the Red Coats turned tail and ran.
This is part of our Candian heritage which should be celebrated, not that I don't love my American cousins.
If you agree with the sentiments in the last part of my signature lines, feel free to use, the more the merrier.
