To preserve the skins of the wild game for their own uses, whether for adorn- ment or personal wear, or for protection in sleeping and so forth, was the Indian's first desire. Strange to say, they were in many places acquainted with the action of certain barks to better preserve the skins of deer and bear, although they did not know the reason therefor, and leather by tanning was thus made in a prirnitive fashion. Jones ^^ tells as follows of the method of doing this: / They prepared their skin...s by first soaking them in water. The hair was / then removed by the aid of a bone or stone scraper. Deer's brains were next '' dissolved in water, and in this mixture the skins were allowed to remain until they became thoroughly saturated. They were then gently dried and while drying, were continually worked by hand and scraped with an oyster- shell or some suitable stone implement to free them from every impurity and render them soft and pliable. In order that they might not become hard, when exposed to rain, they were cured in smoke, and tanned with the bark of trees.
