Indian Arrow heads Is A Favor ite Hobby To Collectors By: Donald McCourry x Indian Arrowheads lure in this' area are not too plentiful any- ( more since the Arrowhead col lectors havj begin to collect them and now they about completely found them all. We ourselves like to s.arch and find Arrowheads too although they are now so unplentiful. We were recently In the Tipton Hill area and at Frank Griffith’s Store we estimated seeing app roximately 250 Arrowheads. Some of these Anwheads w r as large as sjx thches long. This was amaz ing to see all of those Indian Ar rowheads in one location. It is truly a fact if the Indians really did make the Arrowheads which they did. The Indian fients, (as we call them I, are really fine objects to start fires if tlvre isn’t any matches around! The writer can recall the time when he tried to 'start fires with fients of ——* “***“• i*m lUKe hi file and make sparks come forth from the fients, and let the. sparks fall on some paper, and this will mGst likely ignite.

C j AMPLE PARKING SPACE BY SIDE OFBIJIEDING on Big Ridge Mountain that any one can see North Toe River m three ditferent place, approxima tely two miles apart from— each other, and nev.r move from their ieet. . I have heard said for many years where you can s.e the river in three places from one spot,, right th.re is where a trea sure is! This cf course is where the Indians buried leaving this territory. This writer always believed that the Indians never Mid have any money in their poss.ssioi, especi ally’ here in these mountainous sections since if thy really did have money where did they spend it at? There was not any grocery stores as natives tells us and far back history is recorded when th.i first settlers Settled in these mountainous areas. They have no words in their story nor otherwise-; situations for the ?x --pendturesor prodigal. We find it very interesting to Know back when thei Indians dwelled in these sections, which we would say up until about one hundr.d to one-hundred and fifty years ago they lived mostly on wild animals and their prodigality was never to great since th.y hai something to eat when some spec tacle animal was specious. Since we believe the Indians | fed on wildlife why did they have use for money? There is not any thing to buy unless they might have swapted it to their neigh bors for som. thing new that they did not have anything like Or something more excellent _ than theirs. Wj learned recently of a to baco which is called “Indian-To bacco”, and this tobacco was said to be for making antispasmodic cut of. This is a very important medicine. Th:t medicine*that the Indians used was made from some kind of a wild h;rb and I would say it was- some , medicine too. The way the Indians of olden times would cure sores w r as by burning it with het ashes and j then cure the .spaa+r. - j The Indians of olden times was v.-ry engaged in attention of ! mev«u b ei Mountain approximately thirt.en years ago, located and determined that he pre-sum :d was an object which j,he Indians made. The ob ject was in the form of a rabbit; more about six inches long. Although R was madci from rock, this fellow says he would have not taken five dollars for this stone, but he had it disposed, or misplaced, 1 and as now cannot find it no wh.res. Charlie Freeman of Spruce Pine, N. Cl, several years ago r. ported to the writer, that he thinks that the Indians mostly dwelled in the area near the riv ers. Evidently they_‘*dkt since some of the first settlers here proclairr«M ; *stti:y had seme react ions with them more often thair one time.
