Description
Excerpt from History of Jackson County, Indiana, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Time to the Present, With Biographical Sketches, Notes, Etc;, Together With an Extended History of the Northwest, the Indiana Territory, and the State of Indiana
Scientists have ascribed to the Mound Builders varied origins, and though their divergence of Opinion may foretime seem incom patible with a thorough investigation of the subject, and tend to a confusion of ideas, no doubt whatever can exist as to the compar ative accuracy of conclusions arrived at by some of them. Like the vexed question of the Pillar Towers Of Ireland, it has caused much speculation, and elicited the opinions of so many learned antiquarians, ethnologists and travelers, that it will not be found beyond the range of possibility to make deductions that may suffice to solve the problem who were the prehistoric settlers of America. To achieve this it will not be necessary to go beyond the period over which Scripture history extends, or to indulge in those airy ?ights of imagination so sadly identified with occasional writers of even the Christian school, and all the accepted literary exponents Of modern paganism.
