Historical
Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Lake County, 1902
Of the
early history of the region which now embraces Lake County but little
can be written. The Mound Builders had occupied it and passed away,
leaving no written language and but little even as tradition...These
mounds were quite numerous...Excavations...have revealed the
crumbling bones of a mighty race. Samual Miller, who has resided in
the county since 1835, is authority for the statement that one
skeleton which he assisted in unearthing was a trifle more than eight
feet in length, the skull being correspondingly large, while many
other skeletons measured at least seven feet.
