Excerpt from The Wisconsin Archeologist, Vol. 7: The Preservation of the Man Mound, Habitations of the Sioux in Minnesota, Wisconsin Spirit Stones, October to December, 1908 The Man Mound lies on almost level ground, its great length stretching south fro-m the country highway and being in plain View of all persons passing. To the north and east of its loca tion lies a spacious and almost level valley, dotted here and there by farm houses, cultivated fields and woodlands. A short distance in its rear and bounding the property on that side rises a. Steep ridge, the wooded slope of which furnishes a beau tiful setting to the scene. The great effigy and park were in fine condition. All in a short space of time the grounds, once a tangle of young trees, shrubs and wild vines, had been con vert-ed into a pretty park surrounded on three sides by a curtain of young forest trees. Here and there on the property young trees and shrubs had been allowed to remain to afford shad-e and add to the beauty of the surroundings. At o'clock, Mr. H. E. Cole, acting as master of cere monies, assembled those present about the tablet near the foot of the mound. Secretary Charles E. Brown then delivered the opening address entitled The Preservation of the Man Mound. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
