| Summary | "The North Americans of Antiquity" by John T. Short is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the origins, migrations, and civilizations of ancient peoples in North America, particularly focusing on the Mound-builders, Cliff-dwellers, and the ancient peoples of Mexico and Central America. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these cultures and their interconnections through archaeological findings and historical records. The opening of this work presents a preface where Short expresses his intentions for the book, highlighting the growing interest in the study of North American antiquities. He acknowledges the challenging nature of elucidating these historical mysteries but expresses optimism about the progress being made through recent archaeological discoveries. He emphasizes his dedication to presenting a well-researched account that brings together the findings of various scholars while acknowledging the contributions of others in his field. The text sets the stage for an exploration into the lives and cultures of the ancient inhabitants of America, suggesting a meticulous approach grounded in scientific inquiry and a commitment to unearthing historical truths.
