Spirits of Earth: The Effigy Mound Landscape of Madison and the Four LakesBetween A. D. 700 and 1100 Native Americans built more effigy mounds in Wisconsin than anywhere else in North America, with an estimated 1,300 mounds including the world's largest known bird effigy at the center of effigy building culture in and around Madison, Wisconsin. These huge earthworks, sculpted in the shape of birds, mammals, and other figures, have aroused curiosity for generations and together comprise a vast effigy mound ceremonial

Between A.D. 700 and 1100 Native Americans built more effigy mounds in Wisconsin than anywhere else in North America, with an estimated 1,300 mounds--including the world's largest known bird effigy--at the center of effigy-building culture in and around Madison, Wisconsin. These huge earthworks, sculpted in the shape of birds, mammals, and other figures, have aroused curiosity for generations and together comprise a vast effigy mound ceremonial landscape. Farming and industrialization destroyed most of these mounds, leaving the mysteries of who built them and why they were made. The remaining mounds are protected today and many can be visited. explores the cultural, historical, and ceremonial meanings of the mounds in an informative, abundantly illustrated book and guide.

Quality suit!
Color: Black, Size: 12, Color: Black, Size: 12
The suit fit my 11 year old son perfectly. He had to dress as Orville Wright for a school biography project. He is lean so it was nice that the pants could be adjusted to fit tighter in the waist.

Fantastic!!
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 10
This is the sharp, classy look you want for your child in a child’s suit! It is a nice true fit with a classy look. My son loves this and he was happy with the fit. He is a picky little guy and I was very happy with his response to the fit. The pants had a little glitch but that's ok! I’m so impressed.
