Abstract:
Papers of Hamilton, a Two Rivers, Wisconsin, amateur archeologist of note, consisting of his archeological correspondence, 1887-1918, chiefly with farmers, dealers, and other possessors of items which he desired for his famous collection of native Indian copper implements, stone axes, arrows, and spears. The letters throw light on the market price of such relics, forgeries, and the activities of other collectors and the Wisconsin Archeological Society.
