Synopsis
Excerpt from Mound-Builders
The mounds they have left are found in the western part of the State of New York and extend, it is said, as far as Nebraska. And as they have lately been found in the North west, they have thus a much more northern limit than was at first thought, while the southern limit is the Gulf of Mexico.
Having seen only a few mounds in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, I must confine my paper to those found in the State of Ohio, where, during a residence of seventeen months, I made the closest investigation my time and duties permitted. In Ohio, the number of mounds, including enclosures of different kinds, is estimated at about though it requires the greatest care to distinguish between the mounds proper and those subsequently erected by the Indians. In some parts they are very close together, which is strong evidence that these regions were densely populated. In others, a solitary mound, with adjacent burial mounds, gives us the idea of a rural village or town.
