"Some 10 or 12 miles southwest of the battle-field of Belmont [Missouri] is one of the peculiar sand ridges of this swampy region, called Pin Hook ridge. This extends 5 or 6 miles north and south, and is less than a mile in width.... There is abundant evidence here that the entire ridge was long inhabited by a somewhat agricultural people, with stationary houses, who constructed numerous and high mounds, which are now the only place of refuge for the present inhabitants and their stock from the frequent overflows of the Mississippi."[23] "These ... are situated on the county road from Cairo, Illinois.... They are the highest ground in that immediate section" (Missouri).[24] Crowley's Ridge, running through Green, Craighead, Poinsett, and St. Francis counties (Arkansas) forms the divide between the waters of White and St. Francis rivers, and terminates in Phillips county just below the city of Helena. Most of the bottom lands are overflowed during high water. There are some evidences of archæological remains throughout the length of this ridge.[25] "The works ... one mile northeast of Dublin [Franklin county, Ohio] ... are on a nearly level area of the higher lands of the section."[26] "The group shown ... is on a high hill near the Arnheim pike, Brown county [Ohio]."[27] "On nearly every prominent hill in the neighborhood of Ripley [Brown county, Ohio] are stone graves."[28] "Just east of Col. Metham's residence, on a high point overlooking the valley ... was a mound."[29] "... A group ... located 2 miles southwest of the village of Brownsville [Licking county, Ohio] and half a mile south of the National Road, on a high hill, from which the surrounding country is in view for several miles."[30] In the _Catalogue of Prehistoric Works_ issued by the Bureau of Ethnology almost every page gives proof that the mound-builders were occupants of the highlands. Some quotations will be in place: "Inclosures, hut-rings, and mounds on a sandy ridge between the Mississippi River and Old Town Lake at the point where they make their nearest approach to each other, and near the ancient outlet of Old Town Lake" (Phillips county, Arkansas).[31] "... Remains of an Indian fort on the summit of a precipitous ridge near Lake Simcoe."[32] "Stone cairn ... on ridge between Anawaka and Sweetwater creeks" (Douglass county, Georgia).[33] "Stone cairn on a ridge" (Habersham county, Georgia).[34] "Stone mound on a ridge" (Hancock county, Georgia).[35] "Deposit ... on a ridge half a mile south of Clear Creek" (Cass county, Illinois).[36] "Mounds on the spur of a ridge, midway between the Welsh group [Brown county] and Chambersburg, in the extreme northeastern part of the county" (Pike county, Illinois).[37] "Group of mounds on a ridge in Skillet Fork bottom" (Wayne county, Illinois).[38] "Mounds on several high hills" (Franklin county, Indiana).[39] "Four mounds on top of a ridge near Sparksville" (Jackson county, Indiana).[40]
