TABLET ON SERPENT MOUND. It will be recalled that during the visit of Prof. F. W. Putnam, of Harvard University, to the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in Columbus August, 1899, that gentleman stated to the officers of our Society that if we would accept, repair and suitably preserve and guard the property known as Serpent Mound, then in the possession of the Peabody Museum, that the trustees of that in- stitution would transfer to us said property.  In December, 1899, in pursuance of this generous proposition, we began correspondence with Prof. Putnam as to the nature of the title we would receive, etc. After proper presentation of the matter to the Finance Committee, of the House of Representatives of the 74th General Assembly (March, 1900), that committee recommended, and the legislature gave us, in the appropria- tion bill, for the two ensuing years a suitable sum "For the repair and care of Serpent Mound." In view of this assurance of our ability to properly protect the property, Prof. Putnam brought the matter before the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and after the required deliberation and necessary proceedings, that institution forwarded us a deed to the property. This deed recites, "That this conveyance is upon the condition that the grantee corporation shall provide for the perpetual care of the Serpent Mound, and upon the further condition that the grantee corporation shall keep the Serpent Mound Park as a free public park forever, and the non-fulfillment or breach of said condition or either of them, shall work a forfeiture of the estate hereby conveyed and revest the same in the grantor and its successors. And upon the further con- ditions that the grantee Society shall place and maintain in the park a suitable monument or tablet upon which shall be inscribed the record of the preservation of the Serpent Mound and the transfer of the property to the State Society." The vote of transfer was made by the Harvard trustees in May, 1900, but the deed was acknowledged on the 8th day of October, 1900. It was recorded in the Recorder's Office, West Union, Adams county, November 22, 1900. On January 9 last, 1902, the Secretary of the Society journeyed to the Mound, and was present to witness the erection of the tablet in the Mound Park, in accordance with the provisions of the deed. The site selected for the monument was the summit of the circular prehistoric mound which is located on the highest elevation of the park, and is about (492)

300 feet south of the coiled tail of the great serpent. The mound is

some ten feet high, conical in shape. The monument consists of a

granite base some five feet by two. The tablet, like the base, is of the

best quality of Barre Granite, a handsome grey granite from Vermont.

The tablet is about six feet high, two feet thick, and four feet bread.

The lettered side is polished like a marble surface, and the inscription

which is neatly cut into the surface in large Roman letters, reads as

follows:

THE SERPENT MOUND PARK.

 

The Serpent Mound was first described by Squier and Davis in "Ancient

Monuments of the Mississippi Valley," 1848,

Saved from destruction in 1885 by

 

FREDERICK WARD PUTNAM,

Professor of American Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard

University.

The Land included in the Park

was secured by subscription obtained by ladies of Boston in 1887,

when it was deeded to the Trustees of

The Peabody Museum, of Harvard University, Cambridge,

Massachusetts.

Exempted from taxation by Act of Legislature of Ohio in 1888. Trans-

ferred by Harvard University, May, 1900, to the Ohio State

Archaeological and Historical Society for perpetual

care as a Free Public Park.

 

 

It was a clear but bleak midwinter day, and standing upon the lofty

plateau we could see across the valley for miles to the hazy hills of

Highland county, one of the most picturesque scenes in southern Ohio.

There were no formal ceremonies. The workmen tugged at the great

granite slab while Mr. Daniel Wallace, the custodian of the Park, and

the Secretary of the Society, the writer herewith, "stood around" and

gazed at the landscape or the curious coils of the great earthen snake,

the most mysterious and interesting relic of the mound builders either in

the Ohio or the Mississippi Valley. Occasionally some visiting stranger or

passing traveller would drive into the Park, look attentively at the weird

and inexplicable serpentine structure with all the awe and amazement

with which one could contemplate the Sphinx of Sahara, ask a few

questions that nothing short of inspiration could answer, and then like

the Arab with folded tent, silently "move off.

It was some seventeen years ago that Prof. F. W. Putnam, of Har-

vard, visited the mound for the first time; observing the ravages age

and neglect were making with this most valuable archaeological relic,

he returned to Boston and wrote a letter to the Boston Herald, which was

widely copied by the press, setting forth the value and condition of the

serpent. Miss Alice Fletcher, a well known Indian enthusiast, brought

the matter before some leading ladies of Boston at a lunch party given

in Newport. The result was the issuing of a little circular, the assistance

of Mr. Francis Parkman, the great historian, and Mr. Martin Brimer,

the raising of some six thousand dollars and the purchase and presenta-

tion of the mound to, and its placement in the hands of the Trustees

of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology. Some

eight thousand dollars in all were expended upon the purchase and repair

of this mound before it passed into the hands of the Ohio State Archae-

ological and Historical Society, through the suggestion and influence of

Prof. F. W. Putnam. Since its acquisition by the Society, the Serpent

and Park have been thoroughly restored and placed in most excellent

and attractive condition. A custodian is employed who resides close by

and keeps constant watch over the property. It is quite needful that the

custodian have a domicile on the grounds, and as soon as the funds are

provided an inexpensive but suitable building will be erected for the

occupancy of this officer. Surely not only Ohio and the Historical

Society, but the students of Archaeology and Ethnology throughout the

country are to be congratulated that the great and unique remains of a

bygone race are to be carefully preserved to students of the present

and future. Hundreds of visitors resort to it each year, not alone from

neighboring localities, but from all over the country, and indeed from

countries beyond the seas. Scholars and curiosity seekers from  the

dominion of the "Old World" make pilgrimage to this wonderful struct-

ure, that was probably erected generations, perhaps centuries, before Co-

lumbus discovered the Western Continent.

 

 

BONAPARTE ALMOST A BUCKEYE.

"The French Five Hundred and Other People," is an attractive little

volume of some three hundred pages from the pen of William G. Sib-

ley, Editor of the Tribune, Gallipolis, Ohio. The first, and perhaps most

noteworthy essay of the series is devoted to the settlement and first

decade of the French colony at Gallipolis. That most romantic and

unique project of the Scioto Company, in which an American syndicate

sought to exploit what Mr. Sibley calls "An unholy enterprise," among the

Parisians just previous to the outbreak of the French Revolution. As the

writer says "the story of the deception of these people by American

land speculators, is of touching interest. The Bastile had been destroyed,

and the dark menace of the bloodiest revolution the world has ever

• 3
 

Editorialana.                        495

 

known loomed high above the horizon. At this most propitious of times

for advancing schemes designed to swindle distressed, discouraged and

peace-loving people, an American land syndicate opened 'with great

parade,' an office in Paris, professing to own a vast tract that would

afford an ideal refuge for gentlemen who were discontented with the

conditions existing in France." Mr. Sibley then follows in a most racy

semi-serious and semi-humorous way, the emigration of the French

five hundred from the giddy capital of La Belle France to the Indian

fastnesses of the La Belle Riviere. He traces their voyage across the

Atlantic, their reception and assistance by the Virginians, their landing

upon the site of Gallipolis on October 17, 1790, and their erecting eighty

log cabins, "twenty in a row with a high stockade fence." Their sub-

sequent pioneer privations, their encounters with the Indians, frogs,

disease and their inconveniences of various degrees of magnitude and

the final pathetic and futile outcome of the colony. Mr. Sibley is a

good and trustworthy reconteur.

Two very interesting and curious statements are made by Mr. Sibley

He relates in the biographical sketch of Lieutenant Francis D'Hebecourt

that the latter was a friend and fellow student of Napoleon Bonaparte.

After their graduation both decided to emigrate to America and there

establish an empire. D'Hebecourt came with the colonists and was the

first postmaster of Gallipolis, but Napoleon was persuaded by his family

to remain in Europe. He was a lieutenant in the French army taking a

professedly friendly interest in the French Revolution at the time of the

departure from Paris of the Scioto Company. Mr. Sibley remarks "How

the current of history might have been changed if the Little Corporal

had adopted America as the scene of his career, and found opportunity

to exercise his military genius in building up a despotism in the new

world!"  The author speaking of the religious affairs of the Gallipolis

colony says that its settlement was "seriously considered at Rome as

the seat of Roman Catholic episcopal authority for America, outranking

both Baltimore and Philadelphia, in the estimation of Pope Pius VI

and his advisers, as a suitable locality for so great an ecclesiastical dignity.

The Abbe Boisnautier, a canon of St. Denys, in Paris, was actually

appointed Bishop of Gallipolis, but these plans of the papal government

were abandoned soon after, either because the defective titles held by the

French checked emigration, or for some other reason known only to

the church authorities."

Mr. Sibley is entitled to the credit of having produced a most read-

able contribution to Ohio history. The other three essays of his book

are entitled "The Story of Freemasonry," "Bronze John of Gallipolis"--

an account of the yellow fever infection at Gallipolis in 1878 and "Cousins

of Suicide."

"THE SCOTCH-IRISH IN AMERICA."

Mr. Charles A. Hanna is the author of a most complete and exhaust-

ive work in two volumes, from the press of G. P. Putnam's Sons, enti-

tled "The Scotch-Irish, or the Scot in North Britain, North Ireland and

North America." The author states these volumes are designed to serve

as an introduction to a series of historical collections which he expects

hereafter to publish relating to the Scotch-Irish settlements in America.

They are not intended as a history of the Scotch-Irish people. Mr.

Hanna is a writer of high scholarly and literary attainments. His work,

while a vast mass of biographical, genealogical and historical data, is one

of the greatest value and interest. His material is well arranged and made

thoroughly accessible by a most complete and satisfactory index. Large

portions of his work afford pleasure and profit to the general reader, as

well as to the American student of history. That is suggested by such

chapters as these: "The Scotch-Irish in the American Revolution;" "The

Scotch-Irish and the Constitution," and the "Scotch-Irish in American

Politics." He also accurately relates the influence and achievements of

the Scotch in the great periods of English history up to the absorption

of Scotland into the British Kingdom. It goes without saying that this

work written by Mr. Hanna, con amore, makes a most brilliant showing

for the sturdy race of Wallace and Bruce, and for its participation in

the earlier settlements and later foundation of the American Republic.

He says:   "That the people of the Scotish race, mostly born in the

north of Ireland, or their children or their grandchildren, comprised about

one-fifth of the total white population of the American Colonies at the

outbreak of the Revolution.  In proportion to their relative strength,

they took a more important part in that struggle and in all the leading

events connected with American History since that time than any other

race. They furnished more than one-fourth of Washington's generals and

more than one-half of the leading officers of the late Civil War, as well

as a large proportion of the leading statesmen of the country since 1776,

including one-half of the Presidents." The work embraces, not only a

general outline of the part taken by men of Scotch descent in the his-

tory of America, but also an excellent summary of the history of Scot-

land from the earliest time to the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Mr. Hanna, of course, gives in exhaustive detail an account of the emi-

gration and settlement of Scotch-Irish in the Colonial communities in

early America. Mr. Hanna's work is worthy more space than can be

given in these pages. He takes to task the one-sidedness of the New

England-American historians, and their often unconscious misstatements

of the number of troops and political influence of the different early

colonies in the formation of the Union. That is their ignoring of the

proper claims of the south and west during the formation period and

particularly that of the Revolution. He shows how the statistics of en-

• 5
 

Editorialana.                       497

 

listment from different New England states were duplicated and juggled,

so as to give certain colonies apparent undue importance in the aggre-

gate result. Mr. Hanna is a painstaking statistician. His book is a

veritable encyclopedia of facts and figures in early American history.

Some of his sketches of royal personages and eminent Americans, are

graphic portraitures, done with a skillful hand and infused with an

artistic instinct.

 

"RECORDS OF THE PAST."

There are magazines galore. They spring up like mushrooms. It is

the age and country of periodicals. They are, of course, good, bad and

indifferent, both in purpose, matter and form, but among the new births

in this field one is deserving of special notice and unstinted commenda-

tion. It is a new monthly starting with the January number, 1902.

entitled "Records of the Past." Its purpose is to gather and publish the

work of exploration and historical research in the Americas, Asia, Africa

and Europe. It is published at Washington, D. C., where the very best

opportunity is afforded for material for such a publication. It is edited

by the Rev. Henry Mason Baum, D. C. L., assisted by Prof. Frederick

Bennett Wright, son of Prof. G. Frederick Wright, of Oberlin. The

publication is produced in the highest typographical art with numerous

elaborate illustrations, maps, charts, etc. Part second for February, for

instance, has a most intensely interesting and informing article on "An-

cient Corinth Uncovered."  A complete chart of that ancient historic

city and many fine photographs of the ancient remains, taken during the

recent tour through the orient of Prof. Wright, embellishes the text.

Some of the articles in the first three numbers are: "Discovery of the

Yucatan by the Portuguese;" "Prehistoric Ruins of the Southwest;"

"The Rosetta Stone;" "Past American Antiquities;" "Archaeological In-

terest in Asiatic Russia;" "Pompeii, Its Life and Art."  This monthly

is sure to take very high and popular rank, not only with scholars and

students in history and antiquity, but with the intelligent readers through-

out the country. Such a magazine has a distinct field, and there are none

better qualified to properly conduct such a publication than those who

have the "Record of the Past" in charge. The annual subscription price

is $2.00.

 

"DOWN HISTORIC WATER WAYS."

From the press of McClurg & Co., Chicago, comes a little volume

"Down Historic Water Ways, or Six Hundred Miles of Canoeing upon

Illinois and Wisconsin Rivers," by Reuben Gold Thwaites. Mr. Thwaites'

is widely and favorably known to the American reading public. He is the

distinguished Secretary of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, a

Vol. X-32*.

• 6
 

498        Ohio Arch. and His. Society Publications.

 

Society which stands in the front rank of such institutions in this coun-

try, occupying that enviable position mainly through the influence and

scholarship of Mr. Thwaites. This little book is a genial mixture of

travel and history, and does for the Illinois and Wisconsin rivers what

Mr. Thwaites, a year or two ago, did for the Ohio in his volume entitled

"Afloat on the Ohio, A Historical Pilgrimage of a Thousand Miles in

a Skiff from Redstone to Cairo." Mr. Thwaites is not only a pains-

taking student of history and an indefatigable investigator of its original

sources, but is also a lover of nature, and in these two later books he

happily combines his tastes in these directions. It is pertinent for us to

remark in this connection that the Library of the Wisconsin Historical

Society is one of the richest in literature pertaining to Ohio of any

library in the country. And it is a sad commentary upon the public spirit

and enterprise of the people of our own state, that we have permitted

this great historical storehouse to be erected at Madison, rather than at

Columbus. One of the chief reasons of this anomalous condition is that

the fund dispensing powers of Wisconsin have ever dealt most gener-

ously and appreciatively with their state Society. But the pristine time

of the Ohio Historical Society is in the near future. The people of the

state are becoming more and more aware of, and responsive to, the work

of our Society, and each legislature is the more inclined to grant the

needed assistance in furthering our purposes.

 

 

"STORY OF THE WESTERN RESERVE."

There has come to our notice a little brochure entitled "The Story

of the Western Reserve of Connecticut," by William Stowell Mills, LL. B.,

formerly a resident of Lake county, Ohio, now of Brooklyn, New York.

The little book is a very thorough but concise historical sketch of the

origin, geographical extent and productions of the Western Reserve, and

by productions we mean not merely agricultural and other material, but

especially racial, the sturdy New Englanders who were transplanted from

old Connecticut to the Buckeye state, the part they played in the history

of early Ohio, and the numerous and illustrious descendants of the first

settlers. The Western Reserve has been to Ohio what Attica was to

Greece, namely, the great center of its culture, character and strength.

Mr. Mills' little volume is a compendium of valuable data.
