An Odd Pastime

[Ahabstar]

  Yes that is interesting. 
The person must of purposely left that there, why do you think? Hiding it from a attack so it won't be stolen or burnt in the cabin.

Great Find.

Given the timeframe the prayer book had to either belonged to a French soldier during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War to non-Americans) that came through Ohio or was given to an Indian Scout (probably Shawnee). 

The alternative would be that it belonged to a French Fur Trapper and was given to an Indian as some sort of gift or barter. And was just stuffed into a tree hollow as means of returning it to Earth or had to hide it during the buildup for Tecumseh’ Confederation. 

In any case that book has an interesting story that may forever remain unknown.
