Description
Introduction: No other ancient works of the United States have become so widely known or have excited so much interest as those of Ohio. This is due in part to their remarkable character but in a much greater degree to the ?Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley,? by Messrs. Squier and Davis, in which these monuments are described and figured.
