This painting and its excavator were discussed in an article in last 
     year's Archaeology of Eastern North America. My copy of this journal 
     is at home, but maybe someone on the list has the complete citation.

Rich Veit,  I seem to remember hearing that the Montroville Wilson painting 
was this huge thing painted on canvas and was carried across the nation in a 
type of "snake oil" show and unrolled in front of audiences of paid ticket 
holders.  Is this true, or is this just mis-remembered folklore?
