IV. THE CHEROKEES IN PRE-CO 



LUMBIAN TIMES. By CTBUS THOMAS. 13"". $1 



Dr. Thomas has already presented to the public 

 some reasons for believing the Cherokees were 

 mound-builders, but additional evidence bearing 

 on the subject has beeu obtained. A more carelul 

 study of the Delaware tradition respecting the Tal- 

 leg vi satisfies him that we have in the Bark Kocord 

 (Walam Olum) Itself proof that they were Chero- 

 kees. He thinks the mounds enable us to trace back 

 their line of migration even beyond their reaidei ce 

 lu Ohio to the western bank of the Mississippi. The 

 object is therefore threefold: 1. An lilust ation of 

 the reverse method ol dealing with prehistoric sub- 

 jects; 2. Incidental proof that some of the Indians 

 were mound builders; .3. A study of a single tribe in 

 the light of the mound testimony. This work will be 

 an important contribution to the literature of the 

 Columbian discovery which will doubtless appear 

 during the coming two years. 



" A valuable contribu ion to the question, 'Who 

 were the mound-builders 1 ' "—New York Times. 



"Professor Cyrus Thomas undertakes to trace 

 back the evidences of a single Indian tribe into the 

 prehistoric or mound-building age."— if. T. Sun.

 doing harm, — placing something in its path 

 upon which its capacity for causing damage 

 may be expended.

 Dispeller. So far as known, the dissipation 

 of a conductor has invariably protected under 

 the conditions employed.
