Excerpt from The Problem of the Ohio Mounds
No other ancient works of the United States have become so widely known or have excited so much interest as those of Ohio. This is due in part to their remarkable character but in a much greater degree to the Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, by Messrs. Squier and Davis, in which these monuments are described and figured.
The constantly recurring question, Who constructed these works? Has brought before the public a number of widely different theories, though the one which has been most generally accepted is that they originated with a people long since extinct or driven from the country, who had attained a culture status much in advance of that reached by the aborigines inhabiting the country at the time of its discovery by Europeans.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical evidence and cultural practices that link Native American tribes to the construction of ancient Ohio mounds. The author examines the mounds' architectural similarities to dwellings of contemporary tribes, and the presence of artifacts indicating a sedentary lifestyle, such as hearths, pottery, and tools. The book also analyzes burial customs, such as communal burials and the use of stone graves, which align with practices documented among certain tribes. By tracing the continuity of these cultural markers, the author argues that the mounds were likely built by ancestors of the Cherokee and other tribes, challenging the notion that they were the work of a separate, extinct civilization. This well-researched and engaging study sheds new light on the complex history of Native American mound-building and provides valuable insights into their cultural and architectural traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
