ACCOUNT OF ABORIGINAL RUINS AT SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE. 



By J. Parish Stp:lle, 



These ruius occupy high rolling ground, on the east side of Tennessee 

 Eiver, immediately on the west edge of the town of Savannah, Tennes- 

 see. North and south they measure, from outer earth-works to outer 

 earth- works, thirteen hundred and eighty-five yards, and east and west, 

 five hundred and fifty yards. The inner line of eartli-works is dis- 

 tinctly traceable, and consists of an embankment thrown up inside from 

 a deep trench, twelve or fourteen feet in width. At every eighty yards 

 there is a redoubt, each one extending outward twenty yards, excei)ting 

 those at the angles, which project thirty.
