Excerpt from An Old Indian VillageCatalogue of Prehistoric Works east of the Rocky Mountains, by Cyrus Thomas, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C., 1891.But the greater observed frequency of antiquities east of the Mississippi river is to some extent due to a less complete knowledge of the western territory. A number of explorers have been at work in the eastern territory for more than three quarters of a century, while comparatively few have paid any attention to archaeological explorations on the west slope of the great central valley, and this for only the last few deo ades. This region has only tardily received the atten tion it deserves. There can be no doubt that future work will bring to light many more localities in the west where prehistoric man has left traces of his exis tence. Some recently made discoveries give decided promise that this will be the case. In the last few years Mr. J V. Brower has located some sixty hitherto unknown sites of aboriginal villages in the eastern part of the state of and others have te ported similar localities from the region north of this state.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
