  • Walking in the Footsteps of the Indians - Locating and Documenting Indian Cultural Heritage Sites Chapter 1
    Walking in the Footsteps of the Indians - Locating and Documenting Indian Cultural Heritage Sites Chapter 1 Anthropologists estimate that before any Europeans came to North American there were between 3 and 5 million indigenous peoples scattered across what is today the continental US. Although often referred to as savages or uneducated peoples, the Native Americans were in fact very knowledgeable. They lived in harmony with the earth. They had an established transportation system that provided communications, commerce, and travel for 1,000’s of miles in any direction. Today, many of our main highways and railroads are built on top of these old paths. Using old maps, surveyor notes, personal journals, government records, and “boots on the ground” hikes to research these old trails is a fascinating way to spend time. One can learn not only about the physical route of the trail but also about life as it was lived along it. Searching for and Documenting Indian Marker Trees In 2003, the Mountain Stewards began doing research on Indian Marker Trees; but, it was not until 2007 that a full scale effort was undertaken to document these “Living Artifacts.” The Mountain Stewards first discovered these oddly shaped trees while mapping hiking trails in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Dawson and Pickens County, GA. At that time, our knowledge about this part of Indian culture was sadly lacking. Because these trees were in an area previously occupied by Cherokees, we thought that they were related only to the Cherokees. Elaine Jordan’s book, Indian Trail Trees, published in 1997, taught us that these trees were found in other parts of the country as well.

    Vol. 4 No. 3_____________________________________________ __July-August-September 2007 Raising the Revolutionaries’ Banner 1775-1776 19th century magic lanternslide depicting SC Patriot Sgt. William Jasper of the 2d South Carolina Continental Line, commanded by Col. William Moultrie, heroically re-raising the battered South Carolina standard over the parapet of the sand and palmetto log Fort Sullivan during the British naval bombardment of June 28-29, 1776. Mike Coker, the South Carolina Historical Society’s image expert, reports that this image is from a lanternslide painted by artists at the C. W. Briggs Company. The title on the slide is: “Sergeant Jasper at Ft. Moultrie, 1776”; it is a transparency, collodion on glass; size 3 1/4 X 4 inches. The Briggs were an American family of lanternists, slide painters and manufacturers. Daniel Briggs started painting and selling slides in 1850. Later the firm became C. (Caspear) W. Briggs and Co. in Philadelphia. Slides were made from stock negatives and colored by hand. (1850-1930s) This slide’s artist is unknown. Image is courtesy of the SCII Regiment. Artist Lucy Brown made a painting of this image in 1975, the original of which hangs in the main offices of the South Carolina Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia.
