In 1890 James Scotford discovered a clay cup in Montcalm County. Where is the clay cup, today?

Most relics that have to do with Michigan history are given to the Michigan storical Center's Michigan This cup has been subject to a little bit of controversy, and was believed to be a fraud by many. "Francis W. Kelsey, University of Michigan, and Morris Jastrow, University of Pennsylvania, study the objects.

Both publish denunciations of the relics. " "The initials "finds" were unbaked clay cups, caskets and other items. These were fragile.In 1891 Dr. Alfred Emerson of Lake Forest University, near Chicago, declared them to be bogus when he found that they showed evidence of having been dried on machine-sawn pine boards.

" Not all believe this cup was a hoax though, and the cup in 1890 was the first of a long long line of copper, clay, and stone relics. I am about 90% sure that this cup would be in the Michigan storical Museum even if it is a fraud, seeing as how it would be the first Michigan relic fraud. The reason I am not certain about this is once the collection of cups and other things got to be very large they started calling them simply "The Relics" instead of individual finds, but I cannot see any reason why this one particular cup would not be included into the relics.

One interesting thing is the symbols that are on all of these relics, the meaning of the most common one is yet to be figured out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
