Annals of the Red Man
Victoria County, Ontario Canada
Scattered broadcast over our countryside lie the
evidences of an earlier civilization than our own. The removal of
primeval forest by the pioneers of last century laid bare the bones
and potsherds of a vanished race; and even yet the plough turns up
their tools and weapons and furrows through earth that is blackened
by the ashes of their village fires. A few of these traces belong to
a people whose diminished descendants still linger on in fenced off
corners of our land, but by far the greater number must be ascribed
to times much more remote and to tribes of somewhat different
culture. For the aboriginal folk now with us did not enter these
hunting grounds until the second quarter of the eighteenth century;
while most of the village sites in Victoria County are surmounted by
huge pine stumps whose age pushes back the antiquity of occupation
to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
