About this product

Product Information

Early in the 19th century, as wagon trains streamed into the lowlands of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, settlers came upon vast numbers of abandoned mounds and earth--works that they attributed to a sophisticated race of moundbuilders who long ago had disappeared. Giving rise to often loaded questions about human origins, the mounds and the artifacts they contained became the focus of early American efforts toward a science of archaeology. Published in 1848 as the first major work in nascent discipline as well as the first publication of the newly established Smithsonian Institution, this volume remains today not only a key document in the history of American archaeology but also the primary source of information on hundreds of mounds and earthworks in the eastern United States, most of which have now vanished. while adhering to the popular assumption that the moundbuilders could not have been the ancestors of the supposedly savage native American groups still living in the region, the authors set high standards for their time. Their work provides insight into some of the conceptual, methodological, and substantive issues that archaeologists still confront. Long out of print, this t anniversary edition includes an introduction that describes the controversies surrounding the book's initial publication, from a bitter, decades-long feud between Squier and Davis to widespread debates about the links between race, religion, and human origins.

The Mound Builders
Living in Ohio I have visited many of the mound sites listed in the book, but there are so many more I haven't seen. This book is an excellent reference for the mounds still existing and those that are no longer here.

Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley
I liked the fact that in one book I could look at information of our countries past. I am interested in what happened before and why it disappeared. I wish there was a cheaper way of retrieving information on some subjects. I know there have been studies, but they are not always published. I am always looking for information to broaden my view of country. When you look at some of the older books, you sometimes see our current problems in a different light.
