About the Book
Who was George Keusch? An unemployed stone carver? An eccentric artist? A man who was fascinated with native peoples and their way of life? Perhaps all of these is what led him to move to Walpole Island and live among the Ojibwe. Fortunately for us, he took with him a sketchbook to record what he saw there as well as replicating works of other artists. Inside this book for your enjoyment is:
‣ More than 80 paintings and drawings
‣ George’s pictograph charts with nearly 200 symbols and their meanings
‣ Stories, poems, and prayers as recorded by George
‣ Historical references and explanations for some of George’s work
‣ Commentary from George’s great-great-nephew, Rafe Barber

About the Creator
Rafe Barber
Ypsilanti, Michigan
I’m just a guy who loves history. A love instilled in me by my parents who were born in Detroit in the 1920s. They were of the World War II Generation; my father served overseas while my mother served on the home front. After the war Mom and Dad became teachers and continued teaching until retirement. They taught me the importance of education; not just formal education but education gained through the continuous pursuit of knowledge. And knowledge of history is paramount because as George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
