[1789] Thomas E. Pickett contributed this part (1871) to Collins’s Hist. Kentucky (1878), i. 380; ii. 68, 69, 227, 302, 303, 457, 633, 765. Pickett’s contribution was published separately as The testimony of the Mounds (Marysville, Ky., 1875). Prof. Shaler, as head of the Geological Survey of Kentucky, included in its Reports Lucien Carr’s treatise on the mounds, already mentioned; and touches the subject briefly in his Kentucky, p. 45. Cf. also Maj. Jona. Heart in Imlay’s Western Territory; S. S. Lyon in Smithsonian Repts., 1858, 1870, and R. Peter, in 1871, 1872; F. W. Putnam in Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. Proc., xvii. 313 (1875); and Nature, xiii. 109.
[1790] The aboriginal remains of Tennessee have successively been treated in John Haywood’s History of Tennessee (Nashville, 1823); by Gerard Troost in Amer. Ethnol. Soc. Trans. (1845), i. 335; by Joseph Jones in Smithsonian Contributions, xx. (1876), who connected those who erected the works, through the Natchez Indians, with the Nahuas. Edward O. Dunning had described some of the Tennessee relics in the Peabody Mus. Repts., iii., iv., and v.; but Putnam in no. xi. (1878) gave the results of his opening of the stone graves, with his explorations of the sites of the villages of the people, and described their implements, nothing of which, as he said, showed contact with Europeans. Cyrus Thomas deems these remains the works of the Indian race (Amer. Antiq., vii. 129; viii. 162). The Smithsonian Repts. have had various papers on the Tennessee antiquities: I. Dille (1862); A. F. Danilsen (1863); M. C. Read (1867); E. A. Dayton, E. O. Dunning, E. M. Grant, and J. P. Stelle (1870); Rev. Joshua Hall, A. E. Law, and D. F. Wright (1874); and others (in 1877).
