Summary: Interesting, but not scholarly
Comment: Though this book is interesting, as the shores of the Madison, Wisconsin area at one time contained thousands of mounds, the author seems to present a too off beat angle to why mounds were built. I would advise, reader beware.

Rating: 5
Summary: A kind of anthropological detective story
Comment: Gary Maier's The Eagle's Voice: Tales Told By Indian Effigy Mounds is a kind of anthropological detective story based on Maier's research involving a group of about fifty Indian effigy and conical mounts located on the north shore of Lake Mendota, in Madison, Wisconsin. In his explorations Maier developed a new understanding and insight into these structures which had fascinated and puzzled Europeans and Americans from the 1830s down to the present day. Exceptionally "reader friendly", The Eagle's Voice is enthusiastically recommended reading for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Native American culture in general, and the effigy mounds of Wisconsin in particular.
