Book summary

Science fiction author Silverberg's scholarly study examines the history of the investigations into the thousands of mysterious mounds that dot the American landscape. It discusses the "discovery" of the mounds by the settlers and frontiersmen, early theories regarding their origins from learned journals of the 1800s, and the studies by the nascent Smithsonian Institute that finally established the mounds as Native American burial grounds.
