Mormons, Mastodons and Mound-Builders On the subject of the Mound Builders, their chief authority is Baldwin's "Ancient America," a work published in 1871, and before the more critical study of the works of this people had been made. The superlative adjective "oldest" implies that there were Mound Builders more recent, and this opinion is more in harmony with the Book of Mormon, which seems to designate very plainly the territory of the United States as a part of both Jaredite and Nephite dominions.... But all Latter-day Saints do not, evidently, agree that the Jaredites, exclusively, were the Mound Builders, and some seem disposed to give credit for some of the mounds built to the Nephites. solomonspalding.com /SRP/saga2/sagawt0b.htm   (3069 words)

Adena Indian Artifacts - Popeye Birdstone of Ohio The Mound Builders lived over a wide range from the Atlantic, the Midwest and the Ohio Valley to the Mississippi Valley. Not only is it the largest Adena mound, but it is the largest conical type of any of the mound builder structures. The term "mound builders" refers to several cultures that span a period of about 20 centuries. www.geocities.com /NapaValley/Vineyard/4103/page2.html   (997 words)

101 Facts About Newgrange - Construction of Newgrange There is no doubt that the people in charge of Newgrange's construction, from the master builder and architect down to the team foremen, were "intelligent and experienced", according to O'Kelly. Newgrange mound should be properly referred to as a cairn, because it consists of water-rolled pebbles, each of which is between 6 to 9 inches across. It is known that the white quartz, which was found on the ground in front of Newgrange during excavations, was not originally placed there by the builders. www.mythicalireland.com /ancientsites/newgrange-facts/construction.php   (997 words)

Thomas Ashe's 1808 Book The fact that Solomon Spalding made his extinct people very large need not be attributed to his borrowing from Thomas Ashe: very large "mound-builder" skeletons were common discoveries in the part of Ohio where Spalding was living when he wrote his Oberlin manuscript. Spalding parallels Ashe in this notion, telling how his mound-builders were large people to begin with, and how one of their kings (Sambul of Sciota) was a giant, even among those big ancients. Ashe later returns to his mound and discovers in the vault "a human skeleton of uncommon magnitude." Spalding, on the other hand, recovers an ancient record in his vault. www.solomonspalding.com /docs1/1808Ash.htm   (12357 words)

Two Poems by William Cullen Bryant Having placed William Cullen Bryant within a supposed literary stream which he calls a "tradition of writings about the Mound-Builders," Curtis Dahl goes on to demonstrate that Bryant was not the only American bard with the fate of the ancient people on his mind. William Cullen Bryant recreates the melancholy sentiments of these passages in his 1832 piece, "The Prairies," where his identification of the ancient American dead as the Mound-Builders is clearly spelled out. The possible lines of linkage between Bryant and Melville is a topic worthy of an extended dissertation, but it is unlikely that Behemoth: A Legend of the Mound-Builders would merit much of a mention in such a report. olivercowdery.com /texts/1817Bryn.htm   (5567 words)

Amazon.com: People of the River (The First North Americans series, Book 4): Books: W. Michael Gear,Kathleen O'Neal Gear Simply, they belonged to what was known as the "Mound Builder" settlements, so called because the people in the settlements built burial mounds to honour their dead. The Mound Builder culture, of which Cahokia was a part, had its beginnings 3,000 years ago, when groups of early Americans settled along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.

Sample from "Mysteries of the Hopewell" Sometimes, especially in some of the earlier literature, one finds the Hopewell referred to as the "Mound Builders." The term "Mound Builder," however, can also be used to refer to the earlier Adena Indians as well as the later Mississippian Indians - all of whom also built mounds. Indeed, the Hopewell were a special people who, to a greater extent than any of the peoples in eastern North America who preceded them, unlocked the secrets of geometry, developed a sophisticated system of measurement, and even came to understand the great cycles of the sun and moon. In the territory that was Hopewell, millions of tons of earth and hundreds of miles of embankments were moved and shaped by generations of people--united across time, in a common goal and a shared vision. www.uakron.edu /uapress/sample/romasamp.html   (1857 words)

Some fossils the skulls of the Nebraska man seem to be inferior to those of the mound builder, but for the present at least will be viewed as early representatives of the tribe. In a circular mound recently opened on a Loess hill north of Florence, near Omaha, Nebraska, various skeletal parts, and eight human skulls of a primitive type were exposed.
