A Guide to Effigy Mounds NM

Effigy Mounds National Monument preserves the prehistoric American Indian moundbuilding culture and protects wildlife, scenic and other natural values of the area. Only in the upper Mississippi River Valley was there a culture that specialized in ceremonial mounds called effigies -- representations of living creatures such as eagles, falcons, bison, deer, turtles, lizards, and, in particular, bears. This is a guidebook to the park and the wonderful secrets native prehistoric dwellers left for us to uncover. Softcover, 120 pages. Printed in the USA.
