Ashe's three volume work was reprinted in Newburyport, Massachusetts, the very same year is it first appeared in London (1808) and it is likely that Solomon Spalding had access to the American edition.
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.
This publication shows that Thomas Ashe, as well as Solomon Spalding, was fascinated with mastodons and mammoths, the preserved remains of which were first being sorted out and properly identified during the first years of the 1800s.

 §50. Thomas Ashe. VI. Lesser Poets of the Middle and Later Nineteenth Century. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part ...
Something more than a neighbourhood of birth-years connects Thomas Ashe with Noel and de Tabley, though he was certainly inferior to both of them as a poet.
The general impression of Ashe’s work is that given by much modern poetry, namely, that compression, distillation—any of the metaphorically allied processes which, without importing actually foreign qualities, bring out and bring together those which exist in a too diffused condition—might have made of him a poet of real value.
In further comparison with some of his near contemporaries, he takes far higher rank; for, in almost his least good work there is always what analysts call a “trace” of poetry.
