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 niouograph herewith produced concerningthe Serpent Mound was prepared we nse the word prepared as it will be evident to the reader that it has been largely written by other authorities at the request of the Trustees of the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society in the attempt to meet the demand of the hundreds of visitors from every section of the country, indeed from all parts of the world, to the Serpent Mound. The effort has been made not merely to give a description, indeed several descriptions, of Serpent Mound, but also to set forth a summary of the literature concerning the worship of the serpent. In this latter subject copious excerpts from the leading authorities have been given because the books upon that subject are rare and mostly inaccessible to the general reader. It is hoped that this little volume, while it may not solve the problem of the origin and purpose of the Serpent Mound, will at least add to its interest and give the reader such information as it is possible to obtain.
