PINE GROVE - Curious about American Indians and their weapons, Collin Adams asked a local historian Saturday how arrowheads were made.
"Did they carve them out of wood?" Adams, 6, of Joliett, asked.
"No. You'll find out they're all made out of stone. If they were made out of wood, would we be able to find them today? No. They'd rot and go into the ground and you'd never find them," said the historian, Dave McSurdy, Reedsville.
He had examples of actual arrowheads, a stone axe blade, a pipe made of clay which was "several thousand years old" and more at a special presentation at Sweet Arrow Lake County Park located in Pine Grove and Washington townships.
