When Columbus arrived in the New World, 100,000 people
(or more) already lived in Florida and had been here for thousands
of years. These primitive people built mounds for ceremonial and
practical purposes. Though most mounds have succumbed to the bulldozer,
many still exist and may be visited. Author I. Mac Perry tells where
to find them, describes what was found when they were excavated,
and explains what recovered artifacts tell us about the lives of
the ancient people who left them behind. Organized by county, with
sidebars, charts, photographs and drawings.
