IV. THE CHEROKEES IN PRE-CO- 



LUMBIAN TIMES. By CTBUS THOMAS. 12°. $1 



Dr. Thomas has already presented to the public 

 some reasons for believing tbe Chei-okees were 

 mound-builders, but additional evidence bearing 

 on the subject has been obtained. A more careful 

 study of the Delaware tradition respecting the Tal- 

 leg"?pi satisfies him that we have In the Bark Record 

 (Walam Olum) itself proof that they were Chero- 

 kees. He thinks the mounds enable us to trace back 

 their line o£ migration even beyond their residence 

 In Ohio to the western bank of the Mississippi. The 

 object is therefore threefold: 1. An lllustiation of 

 the reverse method of dealing with prehistoric sub- 

 jects; 2. Incidental proof that some of tlie 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 contribution to the question, 'Who 

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



"Professor Cyrus Thomas undertakes to trace 

 back the evidences of a single Indian tribe into the 

 prehistoric or mound-building age."— iV. F. Sun.
