Excerpt from Mound Builders of Illinois
Go back as far as earth's gaseous beginnings with the geologist; go with the archaeologist back to mankind's rudest beginnings; contemplate reverently the tremendous complex ities and wonders of mankind to-day; visualize with Christian faith the future development of man, when civilization will have embodied the divine Hope that lies within mankind's very soul, and we are but brought to a faint realization of the infinite love of an Infinite Father, whose Purposes, deeply rooted in aeons gone by, are unfolding by laws that are im mutable. At Odd times, and by using spare moments, we have writ ten the matter, gathered the illustrative material, and set the type for this little book. We dedicate it to a better understanding of the Red People, on whose lands we now live, and whose village and burial sites are now teeming with the life of American farms, towns and cities.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of the pre-Columbian people who thrived in the fertile lands of Illinois. Through meticulous examination of their burial sites, artifacts, and village remains, the author paints a vivid picture of their daily lives, customs, and beliefs. By analyzing the tools, pottery, and other remnants of their culture, the author reconstructs a society deeply connected to the land and sustained by agriculture. The abundance of flint hoes and intricately crafted pottery speak to their ingenuity and industry. The author also explores the spiritual world of these ancient people, as revealed through their burial practices. The careful construction of stone graves, the use of symbolic objects, and evidence of ritualistic burning all point to a complex understanding of life and death.
