520 TRAVELS IN NORTH AMERICA, 
ei cal mountains ; and but one inftance of the te- 
tragon terraces, which was at the Apalachucla old 
town, on the Well banks of that river : here were 
yet remaining confpicuous monuments, as vaft four 
fquare terraces, chunk yards, &c. almoft equalling 
thofe eminent ones at the Oakmulge fields ; but 
no high conical mounts. Thofe Indians have a 
tradition, that thefe remains are the ruins of 
an ancient Indian town and fortrefs. I was not 
in the interior parts of the Chadhaw territories, 
and therefore am ignorant whether there are any 
mounts or monuments there. 
To conclude this fubjeft concerning the mo- 
numents of the Americans, I deem it neceffary to 
obferve, as my opinion, that none of them that I 
have feen difcover the leaft figns of the arts, fci- 
ences, or architecture of the Europeans or other 
inhabitants of the old world ; yet evidently betray 
every fign or mark of the mofl diftant antiquity*
