"Lake Kee-waw-nay, Revisited in 1844" [title from verso of last page]AMs, 2 p. (2 sheets; written on back of preprinted insurance forms)In 1844, Mas-sa's double log cabin was still standing, occupied by the Bruce family. The lake was now only known as Bruce's Lake. O-ga-maus' wigwam and all other traces of Indian habitation had disappeared. The lovely parkland where the Council was held had become overgrown with brush, due to the felling of the larger trees and the cessation of the annual burning of the area by the Indians. The burial ground that they had kept carefully weeded was now overgrown. Most of the areas near the lake were now cornfields. |
