On Sept. 2, 1887, fourteen years sub

Douay and Henry Joutel visited the
spot, on the east bank Of the Missis-

laid out, and found the pictures rap
idly going to decay. The savages in
the party, however, made sacrifices to
them. In 1872 Maj. Amos Stoddard
saw them. wrote of them and made
sketches Of what remained of the

that time they were quarried away.

One of the reasons assigned by for
eigners for Americas alleged failure
in the line of romantic literature is
that we possess no antiquities. This
statement. however, is susceptible of
considerable modification. American
antiquities may not be SO historically
prominent as the pyramids, the sphynx
or even Stonehenge. Today we know
nothing of the races who constructed
them, and this holds true concerning
the mound builders of the Mississippi
valley and the artists who wrought
the crude photographs found in nearly
every state in the Union and on rocks
of various kinds. shapes and DISPOSE

drawings first attracted the attention
