Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mounds of the Mississippi Valley
TN a papef upon the Prehistoric Remains of Kentucky, published in the first volume iof these Memoirs, I have expressed the opinion that it was impossible to distinguish between a series of stone implements taken from the mounds in the Mississippi Valley, and a similar series made and used by the modern Indians. In fact, so alike are these objects in conception and execution, that any attempt to distinguish them, based' upon form or finish, must be but the merest guesswork. From the rude knife to the carved and polished gorget, they may, one and all, have been taken from the inmost recesses of a mound, or picked up on the surface amid the débris of a recent Indian Village; and the most experienced archaeologist, if called upon to decide as to their origin, would have to acknowledge himself at N or does this similarity step with objects made of stone. On°the contrary, it is believed to extend to all the articles, of every kind whatso ever, that have thus far been taken from the mounds. Indeed, I might even go farther, and as the result of some years of work, as well in the field as in the library, venture the assertion that not only has there not, as yet, been anything taken from the mounds indicating a higher stage of develop ment than the red Indian of the United States is known to have reached, but that even the mounds themselves, and under this head are included all the earth-works of the Mississippi Valley, were quite within the limits of his efforts.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept that the Native Americans known as 'Mound Builders' may have been the ancestors of the Native American peoples who were living in the United States in the 15th and 16th centuries. The author examines various arguments that these peoples were distinct from other Native American peoples, suggesting instead that these peoples were fully capable of building the earthen structures attributed to the Mound Builders. The author argues that these peoples were agriculturalists and used the land in ways similar to that of other Native American peoples. The author also argues that these peoples were familiar with the concept of private property and had established inheritance rules. The author concludes that there is no evidence to suggest that the Mound Builders were a people distinct from the Native American peoples who were living in the United States in the 15th and 16th centuries.
