Calf Creek Arrow; Doc Holliday's Watch; Black Star Line Stock
Certificates
Calf Creek Arrow - An Oklahoma resident discovered an unusual
bison skull while fossil hunting in a dry riverbed. Lodged in the
bone was a handmade point, which the contributor believes dates
back to the Calf Creek culture, around 3000 B.C. Could this be just
another hoax or an incredible archeological discovery? HISTORY
DETECTIVES learns more about this group of nomadic
hunter-gatherers, while putting this handmade point through the
extreme rigors of modern forensic testing.
Doc Holliday's Watch - Four years ago, a pawn store clerk in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, met a customer with a pawned antique watch,
engraved with a potentially historic inscription. Could this watch
have been a gift from the fearless frontier lawman Wyatt Earp to
the dentist, gambler and gunman "Doc" Holliday, perhaps in
gratitude for his help fighting the Clanton outlaw gang at the OK
Corral? HISTORY DETECTIVES uncovers the surprising facts behind
this legendary gunfight and the real relationship between Wyatt
Earp and Doc Holliday.
Black Star Line Stock Certificates - A North Carolina woman
recently found two Black Star Line stock certificates that had been
purchased by her great grandfather in 1919. She didn't know the
significance of the documents, but what looked like a Marcus Garvey
signature on the papers saved them from the trashcan. Garvey
founded the steamship company through his United Negro Improvement
Association in 1919. Could this document be a rare artifact from
Garvey's heyday? HISTORY DETECTIVES takes a closer look at this
controversial and enigmatic figure who fought for economic
self-reliance and political self-determination for African
Americans.
