"The Mound Builders" by George Bryce is a historical exploration of an ancient, enigmatic people who built massive earthen structures in North America. It's mostly concerned with the mounds located in Manitoba, Canada. Bryce looks at the objects and ruins left behind by these mysterious people and thinks about who they were and what happened to them. The book is a detailed study of mounds near the Rainy and Red Rivers. Bryce describes archaeological finds like skeletons, clay pots, and tools. He reasons that the Mound Builders formed a farming community, different from the Native Americans of his time. Bryce creates a theory that links them to the Toltec people of Mexico and estimated that they lived in the northern area from about 1000 AD to 1500 AD. The saga emphasizes the tragedy and mystery around the diminishment of these ancient people.
