Originally published in 1848 as the first major work in the nascent discipline as well as the first publication of the newly established Smithsonian Institution, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley remains today not only a key document in the history of American archaeology but also the primary source of information on hundreds of mounds and earthworks in the eastern United States, most of which have now vanished. Despite adhering to the popular assumption that the moundbuilders could not have been the ancestors of the supposedly savage Native American groups still living in the region, the authors set high standards for their time. Their work provides insight into some of the conceptual, methodological, and substantive issues that archaeologists still confront. Long out of print, this 150th anniversary edition includes David J. Meltzer's lively introduction, which describes the controversies surrounding the book’s original publication, from a bitter, decades-long feud between Squier and Davis to widespread debates about the links between race, religion, and human origins. Complete with a new index and bibliography, and illustrated with the original maps, plates, and engravings, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley provides a new generation with a first-hand view of this pioneer era in American archaeology.

"Recent archive discoveries of many of the original draft surveys and field notes of Ephraim George Squier and Edwin Hamilton Davis (and others) reveal previously unseen details of many of the earthwork sites depicted in Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley (1848), as well as material that was edited out of the original publication. This new multi-volume Expanded Edition created for the 175th anniversary of its 1848 publication date, includes a facsimile of the classic original 360-page book, now intercut with original, previously-unpublished site survey maps from the original surveyors, additional original artifact and mound illustrations, and rare earlier published Squier & Davis material including a complete facsimile of Observations on the Aboriginal Monuments of the Mississippi Valley - as well as a new Introduction, Concluding Observations and Postscript, along with historical commentary by Jeffery Wilson." from the back cover.

The "discovery" of the New World is still a relatively recent event. What is clear is that the New World was not new to thousands of Native Americans and is rich an ancient history. Many of the structures and artifacts left behind by thousands of years of inhabitation across America remained relatively undisturbed in the mid-1800s. That is what makes E.H. Davis and E.G. Squier's grand work Ancient Monuments of the Missisippi Valley so special. These two men were able to explore and catalog information that has been lost to progress and development. There will never be a nother book like it. We at Alacrity Press are sure that you will find this historically significant book to be a true treasure trove of information regarding how America was before Europeand forever changed the New World.
