THE ANCIENT EARTHWORKS & TEMPLES OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS - In 1869 an English naval officer set sail from Liverpool, intending to visit the pre-Columbian monuments of Northern and Central America. Only three years had elapsed since the American Civil War had put and end to slavery. and large parts of the continent were still inhabited by native peoples, living in the traditional way. This book is the record of his epic journey by river steamer and mule train, and is based on the diaries he kept at the time. It covers the major archaeological sites of North America, from the huge prehistoric earthworks of Ohio to the hidden Aztec temples of Mexico, with visits to the lands of the Shoshone, the Sioux, the Pawnee and the Dakotas, among many others.
