Overview

Excerpt from The American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal, 1881, Vol. 3 In the State of Ohio there are two different classes Of works, each following the different systems of rivers and only separated by the watershed. Upon the streams which flow to the north ward into Lake Erie the works are exclusively of a military character, consisting of circular enclosures surrounded by earth walls and a few tumuli. On the rivers which flow to the south ward into the Ohio, the works are of a religious character, consisting of circles and squares, sacred enclosures and temple platforms. But in Wisconsin the emblematic mounds extend over the whole State, apparently without regard to the river system. Although they are situated generally near bodies of waters and are seldom found at any great distance from them, yet in their shape and apparent connection they seem to present an adaptation to the topography of limited districts much more than to any extensive water course.
