Excerpt from Primitive Man in Ohio
It is the purpose of our book to do away with certain of these illusions. In attempting this we are aware that a herculean task has been undertaken. But the time has arrived when men prefer facts to flights of fancy. We are therefore quite confident that our material, so carefully collected and thought fully weighed, will not be cast aside and its place usurped by the rash statements of hasty and incom petent investigators. Why there should be so much speculation and uncertainty concerning the life of our aborigines is inexplicable to us. N 0 question of equal importance could have been more easily deter mined had the early writers given as much care and patience to mound exploration as is given at the present time.
Some writers have misrepresented and distort ed field testimony to uphold theories previously formed. As an illustration of this, and of the great damage that it has done, we need but call the atten tion of our readers to the famous Holy Stone of Newark.
