A reprint of the 1873 edition of J. W. Foster's treatise on mound-builders, Prehistoric Races of the United States is an eye-witness account of the majesty and mystery surrounding the earthworks and enclosures of North America. Early artifacts of wood, copper, stone and bone are discussed in full. This Mound-Building Culture covered western New York east to Missouri, south to Alabama, and then north to New York along the west side of the Appalachian Mountains. This is an eye-opening read into the early discoveries in America.
