Cf. other accounts in Michigan Pioneer Collections, ii. 40; iii. 41, 202; S. D. Peet in Amer. Antiq., Jan., 1888; and on the old fort near Detroit, Ibid. p. 37; and Bela Hubbard’s Memorials of a half century.
[1770] The copy in Harvard College library has some annotations by George Gale. Lapham’s survey of Aztlan is reproduced in Foster, p. 102. Lapham’s book is summarized by Wm. Barry in the Wisconsin Hist. Soc. Coll., iii. 187. These Collections contain other papers on mounds in Crawford Co. by Alfred Brunson (iii. 178); on man-shape mounds (iv. 365); J. D. Butler on “Prehistoric Wisconsin” (vii.); on Aztalan (ix. 103).
The Transactions of the Wisconsin Acad. of Science are also of assistance: vol. iii., a report of a committee on the mounds near Madison, with cuts; vol. iv., a paper by J. M. DeHart on the “Antiquities and platycnemism [flat tibia bones] of the Moundbuilders.”
[1771] S. D. Peet has discussed this aspect in the Amer. Antiquarian (1880), iii. p. 1; vi. 176; vii. 164, 215, 321; viii. 1; ix. 67. He also examines the evidence of the village life of their builders (ix. 10). Cf. his Emblematic Mounds; and his paper in the Wisconsin Hist. Coll., ix. 40.
[1772] None of the bones of extinct animals have been found in the mounds; nor has the buffalo, long a ranger of the Mississippi Valley, been identified in the shapes of the mounds. (Cf. Peet on the identification of animal mounds in Amer. Antiq., vi. 176.) Peet holds they followed the mastodon period (Ibid. ix. 67). The elephant mound, so called, has been often shown in cuts. (Cf. Smithsonian Rept., 1877, accompanying a paper by J. Warner, and Powell’s Second Rept. Bur. of Eth., 153.) Henshaw here discredits the idea of its being intended for an elephant. The evidence of elephant pipes is thought uncertain. Cf. article on mound pipes by Barber in Amer. Naturalist, April, 1882.
