Testimony From The Earth: A Folio

Archeologists uncovered the ruins of the mission buildings in the 1940's. The rectangle of packed earth with the two large pits is the base of the large hearth in the mission house kitchen. Narcissa Whitman cooked on this hearth for only a few years before it was replaced with a regular cookstove.

Among the thousands of artifacts discovered were these two buckles that might have been used for harnesses or belts.
