Dr.
Peet
is
well
known
as
a
writer
on
American
antiquities.
He
has
gathered
together
from
a
great
variety
of
sources
much
interesting
and
impressive
material
in
regard
to
the
religions
of
the
aboriginal
inhabitants
of
our
country.
It
will
be
a
surprise
to
the
average
reader
as
he
peruses
these
interesting
pages
to
see
how
elaborate
was
the
religious
belief
and
worship
of
the
untutored
races
that
preceded
the
era
of
civilization
in
America.
There
is
much
material
in
the
book
upon
which
to
base
theories
as
to
the
origin
of
the
aboriginal
inhabitants
of
the
continent.
There
is
poetic
and
romantic
suggestion
in
abundance.
The
student
of
ethnology
or
of
natural
history
or
of
theology
and
even
the
merely
curious
reader
will
find
the
book
one
of
great
interest.
We
can
but
admire
the
learning
of
the
author,
and
his
diligence
in
research.
