Papers of Henry P. Hamilton, a Two Rivers, Wis., amateur archaeologist of note, consisting of his archaeological correspondence, 1887-1918, with farmers, dealers, and possessors of items which he desired for his famous collection of native copper Indian implements, stone axes, arrows, and spears. The majority of his specimens were obtained from eastern Wisconsin, although a great many of the arrowheads came from Oregon and Washington. The letters throw light on the market price of such relics, forgeries, and the activities of other collectors and the Wisconsin Archaeological Society.
