PREHISTORIC AMERICA VOLUME II.

BY STEPHEN D. PEET, 1896.
EMBLEMATIC MOUNDS A N D ANIMAL EFFIGIES.

"The mythologic significance and the intent of the effigies as picture writing cannot be deciphered when any of the figures have disappeared. It is to be hoped that the effigies will be preserved and that this book will be an inducement for the continuance of the study and will increase the interest in them us the monuments of a people which has passed away."

(I was looking this part of the book: "Serpent circle near Utley's...head and tail making a gateway or opening to the circle," but couldn't search for the phrase. I posted this http://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2012/01/prehistoric-america-volume-ii.html
