CHAPTER 1 Man that was close I breathed Don’t they know hunting is not allowed in Shenandoah National park Hug-a-Bug demanded I don’t think this is a national park yet Papa Lewis reminded her I’m confused If we’re not in a national park then shouldn’t we be wearing orange during hunting season so the hunters know we’re not game Yes normally orange is recommended but we’re in an unusual situation right now Papa Lewis explained We all stood up and Papa Lewis walked over to the spear that lay beneath the tree it had struck He picked it up and examined it Look what we have here Papa Lewis said holding out the spear in front of him and pointing at the tip A long stone arrow was tied to the end of the stick The arrow was about three inches long It was slightly oval in shape and came to a sharp point at the very tip This is a Clovis point The first humans to live in this area the nomadic Paleo Indians used this to penetrate the thick skin of big animals It looks like those men were hunting the woolly mammoth and when they saw movement through the trees they mistook us for him Archeologists have found these Clovis points in the area Scientists have also found evidence that suggests that the Paleo Indians the woolly mammoths and the mast odons coexisted until the elephant-like creatures became extinct The scientists suspect that the early Paleo Indians tried their best at hunting the last remaining woolly mammoths and mastodons but they probably had better luck hunting buffalo elk and deer I would say 16
