| Description Continued | The tooth of a mammoth was found in 1843 in a cornfield at the Osage village near Peru. The man who found it, a simple and uneducated person, thought he would make a fortune from it. A local wag played a practical joke on him, pretending to drop the tooth into the canal from the bridge near Godfroy's trading post, while he actually had dropped a stone and palmed the tooth. It was later learned that the tooth was part of the contents of the medicine bag of a deceased resident of Osage Village. |
