Since my great grandfathers time when he (two great grandfathers did) traded with natives , (one had kegs of beads in his "store") there have been Indians around. Despite treaties.
Some a few miles West of me post civil war yet. And Indians from elsewhere drifting in. Like a now passed Sioux here in the midwest I used to swap notes with. Though he was usually well ahead of me on native stuff here , somehow.
A state park not too far away had modified trees (more maple than oak) we figured was from recent history.
But who did the modifications? And the why of course...
