Arkansaw Mounds tells the story of this exploration and of Edward Palmer, one of the nineteenth century's greatest natural historians and archaeologists, who was recruited to lead the research project. Arkansas was unusually rich in prehistoric remains, especially mounds, and became a major focus of the study. Palmer and his team of researchers discovered that the mounds had been built by the ancestors
