Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First published in 1855 and long out of print, The Antiquities of
Wisconsin remains invaluable as a detailed record of many Indian
mounds that were later destroyed by farming, development, or
looting. Lapham was among the first scientists to produce evidence
that the earthworks had been built by the ancestors of modern
Native Americans, not some mythical "lost race". Modern researchers
still use Lapham's maps and descriptions to locate or reconstruct
sites that once existed. This facsimile edition has a new
introduction.
