| Summary | "Travels Amongst American Indians, Their Ancient Earthworks and Temples" by Vice-Admiral Lindesay Brine is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the civilization of American Indian tribes and their ancient structures, focusing specifically on the earthworks and temples in locations such as Ohio, Guatemala, Mexico, and Yucatan. The work seeks to uncover the origins of their architecture, cultural practices, and the mysteries surrounding their ancient civilizations. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of American Indian history and archaeology. Brine begins by detailing his motivations for studying the ancient earthworks in North America, specifically mentioning ongoing archaeological interests in these sites. He reflects on the need to gather conclusive evidence regarding the construction and use of these elaborate structures, which he believes may illuminate the complex history of interactions among indigenous peoples. The narrative comes alive with references to key figures, archaeological findings, and the various cultures that once thrived in these regions, making it clear that Brine’s journey is not just about observing but also understanding the deep cultural legacies of the American Indians.
