The Serpent Mound, Adams County, Ohio: Mystery of the Mound and History of the Serpent, Various Theories of the Effigy Mounds and the Mound Builders (Classic Reprint)

The first edition of this little volume, consisting of one thousand copies, haying been exhausted and the demand for its circulation continuing unabated, the issuing of a second edition seems justifiable. It is gratifying to the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, which authorized its production, as well as to the author, that the publication has been so favorably received by the public. It has elicited complimentary notice from leading magazines and journals and from many prominent scholars in American archaeology. The author wishes to remind the reader that this monograph does not pretend to be a scientific treatise on the Serpent Mound, but rather is an attempt to present in popular form all that is worthy of publication concerning Ohio smost unique prehistoric relic, the origin and purpose of which is still a mystery.
