Exhaustive dissertation on the Mississippian prehistoric mounds in Lewiston, Illinois.

I would always have to drive across central Illinois to get to my mother's house once I lived on the east coast. I would pass this sign that pointed to Dickson Mounds when I crossed the Illinois River. I just had to stop one time and drag the whole family to this archaeological museum that probably no one else was interested in. Well I payed attention in school and when the teacher told us that Columbus had discovered America I just had to ask where the people that were already here to greet him thought they were and hadn't they gotten there first?

Very readable and interesting if somewhat over detailed for the layman archaeologist. Really the only resource for those wanting to know what the history and prehistory of this site is about. Photographs, diagrams, maps, drawings, resources, bibliography and references.
