To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That usually, or at least very often, some kind of religious or superstitious ceremony was performed at the burial, in which fire played a conspicuous part. Notwithstanding the very common belief to the contrary, there is no evidence whatever that human sacrifice, in the true sense, was practiced. It is possible that cremation may have been re sorted to, to a limited extent; yet the burning of body or bones appears to have been oftener accidental than intentional.
Seventh. That in the southern ...districts the large flat topped mounds were occupied, as a general rule, by the council houses and the residences of the chiefs and principal personages of the tribes. Mound testimony and history are in perfect accord in reference to this point.
Eighth. That in some of these southern districts, especially those of the valley of the Lower Mississippi, where the bottoms are low, it was the custom to erect dwellings on low mounds apparently constructed for this purpose, and when deaths occurred to bury in the floors of these dwellings, burn the houses, and heap mounds over them before they were entirely consumed or while the embers were yet smoldering.
