Excerpt from Escalala: An American Tale
The hint for the fable of the following poem was furnished by the numerous ruins which yet remain visible in the interior of North America, and particularly in the vicinity of the Ohio and the Mis sissippi: ruins which demonstrate, that, long anterior to the first voy age of Columbus, the section of country which I have designated, was inhabited by a nation more civilized than the wandering tribes in whose possession it was found by the English and French. In deed, even at that early day, the imperfect and perishable traditions of the North American. Savages seem to have preserved natures! Of a record to whom those ruins belonged; or by whom, for what pur pose, or at what period they were reared. Towers of stone, con taining implements and idols of copper; the embankments of for tresses, judiciously located and traced with all the accuracy and mathematical skill which the ablest modern engineer can boast; and barrows or tumuli, in which have, for ages, been inhumed the bones of forgotten thousands; all proclaim the country to have been, in the olden time, the seat of a] people, numerous, warlike and civilized, far beyond what can be predicated of either the present aborigines, or their ancestors.
