Overview

Excerpt from Mound Builders of Illinois: Descriptive of Certain Mounds and Village Sites in the American Bottoms and Along the Kaskaskia and Illinois Rivers Go back as far as earth's gaseous beginnings with the geologist; go with the archaeologist back to mankind's rudest beginnings; contemplate reverently the tremendous complex ities and wonders of mankind to-day; visualize with Christian faith the future development of man, when civilization will have embodied the divine Hope that lies within mankind's very soul, and we are but brought to a faint realization of the infinite love of an Infinite Father, whose Purposes, deeply rooted in aeons gone by, are unfolding by laws that are im mutable. At Odd times, and by using spare moments, we have writ ten the matter, gathered the illustrative material, and set the type for this little book. We dedicate it to a better understanding of the Red People, on whose lands we now live, and whose village and burial sites are now teeming with the life of American farms, towns and cities.
