About this book
Cyrus Thomas surveys the burial mounds of the northern United States in this paper from the Fifth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, issued in Washington in 1887. The chapters go district by district: Wisconsin, the Illinois or Upper Mississippi region, Ohio, and the Appalachian region.
Drawings of mounds in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina show sections, stone vaults and a wooden vault, and the figures include pipes, a copper gorget, shell and copper beads, and iron implements. A late chapter argues that the Cherokees were probably mound-builders, and a supplemental note follows.
