A decent account of the great mound complex at Macon, Georgia. Deals with a brief history, archaeological excavations and restoration culminating as the Ocmulgee National Monument. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this book is its referenced citations, notes and causal (but supported ) remarks over a wide variety of topics with some connection to the property discussed at hand. Stylistically, it isn't the best or most clear of writings. Historically, it is a valuable resource and reference. Well worth the effort to either skim it or read the whole matter in detail. Nice drawing of Emperor Brim, much about Creeks and other southern tribes, traders, Indian pathways, native-European interactions of all sorts, interpretation of artifacts (not always on the mark by current standards), WPA activities and much more packed into such a small volume.
