The Archaeology of the
Historic Period in the Western Great Lakes Region
George Irving Quimby
"This slim book is buried treasure.
. . . Mr. Quimby does what very few archaeologists can do. He
makes artifacts vivid. And he makes the people who used them
come alive."—Island

In an absorbing account of the archaeology
and culture of Indian tribes in the Great Lakes region from 1600
to 1820, George Quimby recounts the results of decades of careful
study of archaeological sites in this 1966 classic.
George Irving Quimby (1913–2003) had a long and distinguished
career as professor of anthropology and curator of ethnology
at the Burke Museum at the University of Washington and as curator
of archaeology and ethnology at the Field Museum of Natural History
in Chicago.
