A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

During this centennial year ofO hio, the attention of its citizens will be generally directed to its past. The State is remarkable for the number and extent of its earthworks, no spot of equal size on the globe having so many and so extensive monuments of earth. Whether one stands on the grounds of the Agricultural Society, in Licking County, inside the thirty-acre circle, with its high walls shutting out all view of modern civilization, and remembers that this was only one of many works extending tor miles in more than one direction ;whether, as happened to me last summer, he spends three and a half hours clambering along the steep embankments ofF ort A ncient, or whether he reads in books alone of these and various wonderful works, remembering again that there are over ten thousand mounds in theS tate, he will bo alike amazed at such and so many remains left by a race so far unknown that it can as yet simply 1)0 styled The Mound Builders. The interest has been romantic, and the temptation, in absence of evidence, to exercise the imagination, has been quite irresistible. As years have flown and knowledge from many investigators has been added up, it is time that archaeology shall begin to be certain and a science. The next step requires a competent experience and a sound judgement to decide both what is and what is not proven.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
