Summary
Of the early reports of the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, one of the most significant is Col. Garrick Mallery's report on the picture-writing of the American Indians. Except for a special section on petroglyphs (rock-writing), most of the examples are roughly contemporary with the writing of the report and were gathered by ethnologists, explorers, and expeditions to reservations. As such, the emphasis is on the meaning of the pictures, and the differences between the styles of picture-writing of the various tribes. This book was written in 1893. For anthropologists, sociologists, historians, or artists, Col. Mallery's account is still the basic study of North American Indian picture-writing, Its wealth of pictorial material is not to be found anywhere else. And since most of the material was collected by contemporaries while picturing was still an important method of communication, the ethnologists were often assisted by the Indians themselves in decoding the pictographs and discovering the wealth of information that was conveyed by them.

Summary
"The very first men we know in the Pittsylvania country roamed these hills and valleys a staggeringly long time ago. Egypt's earliest civilization had not yet begun to develop the art of making pottery, and on the northern shores of the Mediterranean the earliest farmers would not begin to plant crops for centuries, perhaps millennia. Those who are interested in this period, and others, will find a world of good reading in Foundations of Pennsylvania Prehistory which contains over six hundred pages of what has been written by experts in the field for thepast forty years." [from a review of this book by George Swetnam in 1972]
