The Columbus, Ohio Quarry Mound is Identified on a Map from the History of Columbus Vol I, 1892
The 1892 History of Columbus, Ohio, includes a map of the mounds in Columbus, Ohio, showing both the Shrum and Quarry Mounds. Finding the documentation just takes a little work, which the Ohio History Connection is too lazy to do. And they are the anointed experts? The original article I posted on the Quarry Adena Burial Mound. www.nephilimgiants.net : The Sister Adena Burial Mounds: The Shrum and Quarry Mounds in Metro Columbus, Ohio
In an article, Columbus Free Press
Could a City of Columbus "dewatering" project solve the mystery of a Native American burial mound?

What shouldn't come as a surprise then is how an Ohio University graduate student believes Shrum Mound may not be alone... "What I did do was to hike up the Shrum Mound in the winter and check the island out through binoculars," said Armstrong. "I've done a lot of searching for mounds in the woods over the years, and what I saw with the leaves all down sure looked like it could be." Armstrong said he had heard of the MAQ (ghost) mound from an amateur historian."
"The Ohio History Connection told the Free Press it does not have any records of burials on the quarry site known as Bird Island."
Well, there you have it. The Ohio History Connection has no records of the "Quarry Mound." So, I have to do it!"
The article resulted from my first post about the discovery of the Quarry Mound; I was not mentioned in the article. The Ohio University student did believe the "island" mound was, in fact, the Quarry mound. With the 1892 map, the question is settled. Someone needs to send this information to the Ohio Historical Connection so they can "discover" the Quarry Mound. Your tax dollars at work Ohio.
