Excerpt from Prehistoric North America, Vol. 19
Adhering to this plan, the learned authors follow the course of population from district to district over all North America: on the Pacific coast; over the vast area eastward from that coast to the Mississippi valley and the Gulf of Mexico; and over the Atlantic section. They follow the line of that migration in all its multifarious movements, showing its directions and the aspects of its culture from age to age. They place the evidence before the reader, and the conflicting testimony as well, thus enabling him to weigh that testimony and to interpret for himself the status of society which produced it.
The narrative includes the whole story of ancient Indian culture: its art, its industry, its ethics, and its religion. Thus, the reader is put in possession of a standard by which to measure and to judge of the culture of primitive peoples in other continents and at other times. The volume thus becomes a contribution to the general history of man, - a chapter in the history of the evolution of the race.
