This wonderful book should be required reading for all collectors,
archaeologists, and students of American history. Mr. Kennedy's
insight into the minds of the mound builders is incredibly
enlightening. His in depth look at early Americans such as Thomas
Jefferson and the way history was shaped by Native Americans and
their monumental architecture is brilliant. Rodger Kennedy is a
former Director of the National Park Service and is former Director
of the American History Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. In
spite of the massive amount of bureaucratic B.S. this must entail,
he has remained a deep thinking scholar. I bought this now
out-of-print book on amazon for under 3$. My copy is library bound,
in excellent condition, and appears never to have been checked
out. It was written in 1994 and released in a soft cover and hard
cover edition. One of the best books you never heard of!
