William Duncan Strong
This leaflet, prepared by Assistant Curator Strong, is based on the material collected by Mr. Chandler and on information supplied by him. The author has likewise utilized the existing literature and an unpublished document in manuscript written by De Gannes
in 1721.
May this booklet appeal to all those who are in sympathy with the Indians
and eager to learn of the past of our country, and may it stimulate
interest and research in our local history and archaeology!

Curator of Anthropology.
