About the author

Cyrus Thomas

1825–1910

A physician-turned-naturalist and archaeologist, he became one of the Smithsonian’s key investigators of the ancient earthworks of the eastern United States. He is especially remembered for helping overturn the mistaken idea that the mounds were built by a vanished race rather than by Indigenous peoples.
