The "discovery" of the New World is still a relatively recent event. What is clear is that the New World was not new to thousands of Native Americans and is rich an ancient history. Many of the structures and artifacts left behind by thousands of years of inhabitation across America remained relatively undisturbed in the mid-1800s. That is what makes E.H. Davis and E.G. Squier's grand work Ancient Monuments of the Missisippi Valley so special. These two men were able to explore and catalog information that has been lost to progress and development. There will never be a nother book like it. We at Alacrity Press are sure that you will find this historically significant book to be a true treasure trove of information regarding how America was before Europeand forever changed the New World.
