He became one of the foremost amateur archaeologists of the region, known for discovering the fossilized remains of the so-called “Browns Valley Man.” William became interested in Native American culture, collecting arrowheads and other Indian artifacts. This hobby turned into a lifelong effort to unearth local archeological and ethnological specimens, a pursuit that led to friendships with many Native Americans in the area. This lifelong collection includes an eclectic variety of items. Native American: Beadwork, pipes, stone artifacts, bone & hide items, moccasins, clubs and pottery.
