Howes H-359 ("b"): "Of great value on the pre-Caucasian period, its people, and antiquities." Sabin 31085: "A volume of much rarity. The author has brought together a large number of curious facts, relating to the origin and character of the natives of his State, prior to the settlement by the whites. He does not favor the hypothesis of great antiquity in the Indian nations of America, but describes with great care the relics of the race which once inhabited this territory."
