In 1886 a Professor named W.H. Holmes published an account of the Serpent. He also had published a carefully made sketch to go along with his account agreeing with Mclean’s findings he published in 1885. Holmes had his attention drawn to this resemblance of how Indians view of such mounds in the words:
“Having the idea of a great serpent in the mind, one is at once struck with the remarkable

The Fort Ancients have left a star studded mystory for us to solve, unsure if it’s a comet tribute, was casued by an impact, or was just made to track the stars. Only more time and searching will tell. I can say one thing for sure in this mess of theories, I’m adding this site to my list of places to visit this summer. It’s so close to home and has so much wonder. I would love to get to see it up close and

They spoke of those hours of burrowing.” To add, the fourth clue Mr. Holmes uses to figure out the crime being committed was where the cellar was located. On page 55, he knocks on the pavement, trying to feel and hear if the ground below was hollow.
Once Charles became of working age, in his early teens, he took advantage of his bilingualism to search for a farm work 30 km south of Farnham to the township of St. Armand East by the border between Quebec and Vermont. By leaving the Guillet 's traditional family area, one of the first to do so since this Guillet branch arrived in 1718, Charles would have to deal with the lack of family contact by learning to be independent. His first job on his way to manhood was with Alpheus Deming on his well established farm and saw mill, the first mill in the area. Alpheus, the second generation of Demings born in Quebec, had improved his loyalist father 's initial homestead, of 200 acres of mostly virgin forest, into 100 acres of pastures and crops and a 2 acre apple orchard.
An Orphan’s Obsession Edward Pierce, or Andrew Miller, or is it Robert Jefferson or maybe even John Simms… The identity of the supposed orphan who committed the Great Train Robbery remains ambiguous, but the motives behind it are not. Michael Chriton’s The Great Train Robbery sheds light on 1855’s greatest crime with details about Edward Pierce’s accomplices and impeccable criminal knowledge to show how Pierce’s livelihood as a criminal morphed into an obsession.
The North Berwick Witch Trials began in 1590 and carried on till 1592. Many people that came from East Lothian, Scotland, including several nobles of the Scottish court. The questionable witches were incriminated for holding their covens on the Auld Kirk Green in the village of North Berwick, East Lothian which is near Edinburgh.

A year or so preceding to the events was a time where King James VI of Scotland, was very merciful when it came to witchcraft.

Levi and Catharine Coffin Levi Coffin was a Quaker born on Oct. 28, 1798 on a farm in New Garden, N.C., the only son of seven children born to Levi Coffin and Prudence Williams “The Coffin’s.” Levi mutually shared his hatred for slavery with both his parents and grandparents they all were opposed to slavery, Coffin noted in his memoirs published in 1876, “and none of either of the families ever owned slaves; and all were friends of the oppressed, so I claim that I inherited my anti-slavery principles.” As a teenager, Levi first opportunity to help free slaves came when a man by the name Stephen Holland brought a group of slaves to the corn husking.
While White showed the Native Indian facial features as they were, that is, short foreheads, straight hair, and strong and short arms and legs. However, De Bry showed the Algonquians with broad foreheads, curly hair, and European features. He also purposely attempted to hide the tattooed faces and the several cultural habits of these people. In addition, even though De Bry engraved images, he seems to have purposely worked toward making the Native Indians in these images look white. For instance, consider the White’s painting Indian Woman and Young Girl and De Bry’s copy of the same (Virtual JamesTown).

While most modern Americans are most familiar with the gray wolf, when Europeans first colonized the New World, the red wolf was likely the first wolf species that they came in contact with. Moreover, since the red wolf was the first wolf species that the colonists came into contact with, it was also the first to be persecuted (Hinton et al.). The consequences of this first interaction have ricochet across history as the red wolf was hunted to extinction in 1980. Even now, after extensive interventions to breed the wolves in captivity and reintroduce them, the red wolf is till an endangered species (“Red Wolf” 2017).
