Q&A with Archaeologist David Bush

What made you decide to concentrate so much of your time on this project?

David Bush: You are kind to note that I have been working years at Johnson's Island. I couldn't even begin to relate all the reasons why this site is worth the time, effort, and even frustration from time to time. I have made contacts and friends with people all over the United States sharing Johnson's Island with them. I have been able to provide families with just a little more information about their ancestors, which they truly appreciate. I have been able to excite grade school students to the wonders of the discovery of history. And, I have had the opportunity to read from those that were there, hear their voices, and then discover their handiwork. Johnson's Island is a site that connects people from all over. Every day is a day of discovery. In this answer, I am not sure that I have even touched upon the archaeological wonders that the site has. It is truly unmatched. Thanks for asking.
