About this book
The Problem of the Ohio Mounds is a work by Cyrus Thomas. The contents list names, among others, chapters titled Historical evidence, Stone graves and what they teach, and The Cherokees as mound-builders. The introduction says no other ancient works of the United States have become so widely known or have excited so much interest as those of Ohio.
The text says that at the time of the discovery nine tenths of the tribes in the mound district had fixed seats and local habitations, depending to a great extent for sustenance upon the cultivation of the soil. The text says it is only necessary to read the chronicles of De Soto’s expedition and the writings of the pioneer travelers and French missionaries to that section. The text says that, taking all the corroborating facts together, there are reasonable grounds for concluding that graves of the type now under consideration, although found in widely-separated localities, are attributable to the Shawnee. The text says the little stone vaults in the shape of bee-hives are so unusual as to justify the belief that they are the work of a particular tribe, or at least pertain to an ethnic type.
