To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to one observer, it was four hundred feet in length, two hundred feet wide at the base and over fifty feet high.

Digitized by Google THE BIG MOUND AT ST. LOUIS. 41 f These discrepancies are not difficult of explanation when it is remem- bered that in its construction, advantage was taken of the highest point of the terrace, and when t...he streets were cut through it, on its northern aud southern ends, the grade was nearly twenty feet lower than the top of the terrace upon which it was erected. A casual observer, therefore, would be likely to take the whole as artificial, whereas more than one- half, as it then appeared, was of fluviatile origin. The dividing line between the natural ground and the mound proper is shown in the engraving. It is about midway between the level of the street and the top of the mound.
The demolition of this ancient landmark was an event which awakened much interest among the citizens, who gathered in crowds, from day to day during the many weeks occupied by its removal.
