I obtained this forgotten report about 20 years ago then lost track of it while I was living in a tent. I found it this morning inside a office file cabinet that I used in our Virginia cheese creamery and converted it into a PDF file. Many people involved with saving the Okefenokee Swamp have tried to find a copy of the report, but current federal employees seem to not know where the original is now.
I have attached the PDF file for anyone, who is interested in the subject. Among other things, the archaeologists determined that the Okefenokee and its basin contains over a hundred Native American mounds from many eras.
Pretty fascinating report, Richard. Thanks for sharing. At almost every mound were reported 7 foot tall skeletal remains. It seems to lend some historical fact to legends, that the Seminole people and perhaps their ancestors, were unusually tall.
Interesting read Richard. Glad you found it and shared it with everyone.
It’s amazing just how many historical reports have disappeared over the years.
WOW! This is fascinating information, and was ignored.
