It seeks to provide a systematic overview of the material relics left by these civilizations, establishing their significance in understanding the historical context of Native American history. The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the subject of monumental archaeology, emphasizing the importance of tangible relics in studying ancient cultures. Bancroft outlines the goals of this work, which is to present documented descriptions of archaeological findings across various regions, including references to both well-known and lesser-known explorers. He argues for the value of material relics as concrete evidence of past societies, contrasting them with the vagueness of oral tradition and written history.
