FOREWORD
The publication "A Record of Wisconsin Antiquities" was
issued by the Wisconsin Archeological Society in 1906. It
consisted of a list of the prehistoric and historic Indian re-
mains of the state located by Wisconsin and other archeolo-
gists during researches conducted by them between the years
1836 to 1906. It included nearly thirteen hundred items these
being located in sixty-one counties. These were arranged un-
der the counties and townships in which they occurred. A
map illustrating the distribution of Indian mounds in Wis-
consin accompanied this publication. In this issue of The Wis-
consin Archeologist a first addition to the record consisting of
fifty-seven items located in twenty-one counties was also
printed. The principal Wisconsin Archeological Society con-
tributors of data to the original record were P. V. Lawson,
G. A. West, A. B. Stout, Dr. Louis Falge, Dr. A. Gerend, C. E.
Brown and S. D. Mitchell.
A second addition to the state record was printed by the
Society in 1908. This included two hundred and seventy-six
items located in forty-five counties. The principal contrib-
utors to this issue were Robert Glenn, H. L. Skavlem, Rev.
L. E. Drexel, P. V. Lawson, A. B. Stout, C. E. Brown, G. M.
Brugger, H. C. Fish and G. H. Reynolds.
The third addition appeared in 1909. It listed two hundred
and one items located in thirty-one counties. Important con-
tributions to this issue were made by A. B. Stout, H. L. Skav-
lem, Dr. W. G. McLachlan, Rev. L. E. Drexel, J. A. H. John-
son, and S. G. Haskins.
In 1912 the fourth addition was printed. This listed about
one hundred and fifty new records situated in thirty-one coun-
ties, G. R. Fox, H. 0. Younger, and C. E. Brown making the
most important contributions.
An appropriation for field work made to the Wisconsin
Archeological Society by the state in 1911 made it possible to
conduct researches in a number of northern and central Wis-
consin counties. Among those who participated in these ex-

ARCHEOLOGICAL NOTES
Meeting's of the Society
President Dr. E. J. W. Notz presided at the meeting of the
Society which was held in the auditorium of the Milwaukee Public
Museum on the evening of February 16. There were about one
hundred members and visitors present.
Secretary Brown made announcements of the business conducted
at the director's meeting. The Messrs. Carlyle Morris, Cleveland.
O.; Louis Pierron, and Dr. P. E. Fischer, Milwaukee, had been
elected members of the Society. A bill (No. 198, A.) had been
introduced in that State Legislature the purpose of which was to
relieve the Society of the small annual appropriation received from
the state. This mistaken measure all members were urged to
strenuously oppose. The appropriations of other state societies
were also being attacked in other similar bills. On the motion
of Mr. R. A. Buckstaff the president appointed a committee consist-
ing of the Messrs. Dr. S. A. Barrett, G. A. West, C. G. Schoewe,
W. W. Gilman and R. L. Maas to make arrangements for a proper
celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Society.
Mr. George A. West delivered a very interesting illustrated lec-
ture on "The Ancient Indian Copper Mines of Isle Royale, Lake
Superior". These he had visited as a member of a Milwaukee
Public Museum's expedition during the summer of 1924.
The Annual Meeting of the Society was held at Milwaukee on
Monday evening, March 16. There were fifty-seven members in
attendance. The annual reports of the treasurer, Mr. Milo C
Richter and of secretary Charles E. Brown were read and ac-
cepted. A nominating committee consisting of the Messrs. Dr.
S. A. Barrett, Town L. Miller and Ira Edwards nominated the
following officers.
President — Dr. E. J. W. Notz.
Vice-presfdents — W. H. Vogel, C. G. Schoewe, G. A. West. Mrs.
E. H. Van Ostrand, A. T. Newman, Huron H. Smith and W. W.
Gilman.
Directors — Vetal Winn, A. P. Kannenberg, L. R. Whitney, Dr.
F. C. Rogers, E. F. Richter, Dr. A. L. Kastner, Dr. S. A. Barrett,
Mrs. H. E. Koerner and Dr. H. L. Tilsner.
Treasurer — G. M. Thorne.
Secretary — C. E. Brown.
These were unanimously elected.
A vote of thanks was extended to the retiring officers. Mr.
W. C. McKern, assistant anthropologist of the Milwaukee Museum,
delivered an interesting illustrated lecture on "The Archeology
and Ethnology of Tonga, South Sea Isles."
Mr. E. F. Richter made an interesting exhibit of Wisconsin stone
and copper implements.
At the meeting of the Executive Board, held earlier in the
evening, Mr. Raymond S. Loftus of Milwaukee was elected to mem-
bership in the Society.

INDIAN MOUNDS AND VILLAGE SITES AT
PLUM CITY
Franklin Tomlinson
The Village of Plum City is situated in the Plum Creek valley
and is one-half mile south of the center post of the town of
Union, southeastern Pierce County. The course of Plum Creek
is north and south at this place and divides the territory embrac-
ed within the corporation limits into two, nearly equal parts,
with the main, or business section on the west side of Plum
creek, and it is on the west side of Plum creek, including
portions of the platted land of the village, that there is still some
visible evidence, though faint in places, or a former occupation
by the aborigines. There is yet, at this time, considerable evi-
dence to show that the south and eastern part of Pierce County,
the central part of the town of Union, and especially that part of
the town of Union where the village of Plum City now stands
was once a great rendezvous and camping place of the Indians.
At the north end of the platted portion, (Schneckloth Addition)
there is still some faint evidence of an ancient village site.
When this land was first cleared and brought under cultiva-
tion in 1876 a great many chipped stone implements were found,
arrows, spear points, stone axes, stone hammers and many other
implements the names and uses of which were then not known to
the settlers. These have long since disappeared from the com-
munity and only a very few of the most common implements
remain.
In the early days of cultivation on this site many hearth stones
were gathered up and hauled into ditches, fragments of broken
pottery and of clam shells were plentiful. At this time about the
only evidence of its former aboriginal occupation is an occasional
fragment of what may have once been an hearth stone burnt to
a dark red color, a few small flint and quartzite chips can be seen
and at times, and rarely small fragments of clam shells.

On the land adjacent to the Schneckloth addition on the north
there once were several large mounds, these have been destroyed
by cultivation and not a trace of them remains to mark the place
where they once were.
Stahle Mound
Near the south end of town, on South Main street and about 75
feet west of the highway on the M. Stahle place, and about 100
feet north of the Stahle residence there is a large burial mound,
though somewhat damaged by the elements and reduced by
cultivation it measures 18 inches in height and 30 feet across the
top, measuring from base to base, and is circular and conical in
shape. It is located in a meadow just across the Rush Coulee
dry run. Straight across its top, running east and west, there is
a "dead furrow" left by the last plowing. The mound is in the
open field and can be plainly seen from the street.
Maple Tree Mound
At a place three fourths of a mile south of Plum City and 34
rods due east from the highway along the north boundary of the
F. Hophan, Sr., place and 20 rods north from the center post of
Section 27 in a pasture (owned by the writer) is a large linear
mound.
A small portion (part of the head) of this mound has been
destroyed by cultivation. It measures 100 feet in length and at
the widest place is 35 feet wide, with the exception of the head
(which is on higher ground). It is 2y2 feet high. The direction
of the mound is northeast and southwest the head being towards
the northeast. The head is reduced to the level of the surround-
ing ground. Near the center of the head stands a hard maple
tree two feet in diameter. Excepting the small part of the head
which has been reduced, this mound is in a fair state of preserva-
tion. It has not been explored or mutilated by relic hunters. A
picture of this mound is shown in the accompanying plate.
Bear Effigy
Fifty-five rods north of the mound described in the preceding
paragraph, along the same forty line, there is a large effigy
mouncL It is located in a small meadow at the north end of a
cultivated field, 19 rods west of the west bank of Plum Creek,
Indian Mounds and Village Sites at Plum City. 155
and lies in an east and west direction with the head towards the
east. Though somewhat reduced by cultivation, it is still in a
fair state of preservation and can be seen from the public high-
way, a distance of 80 rods. The front limb is missing, evidently
destroyed by the elements and cultivation. The rear limb can
be traced. A few feet of the west end has been destroyed by
cultivation, and it might be difficult to determine how much of
it has been plowed away. As it is at the present time it measures
115 feet in length, and at the widest place, measuring from base
to base, it is 55 feet wide and at the place where the front limb
should be it is 35 feet wide. On the head there had grown a
group of basswood trees, five in number, the largest of which had
grown to a height of forty feet and one foot in diameter when
cut down by the writer five years ago.
At the place where the basswood trees grew there is now a
slight indentation or low spot caused by the removal of the
stumps. Though slightly reduced by cultivation this mound is
3V2 feet high and has not been mutilated or explored.
Rasmussen Mound
Twenty-five rods east from a point along the forty line mid-
way between the Bear e&igy and the Maple Tree mound, on the
east bank of Plum creek, there is a large flat-topped effigy
mound. The direction of the mound is north and south with the
head towards the north. Measuring from the north end of the
head south to the base of the tail, it is 190 feet long, and 60 feet
across the top at the widest place. The tail is about 16 feet wide
and five feet high at the base and tapers down to one foot in
height and one foot wide at the tip and is 60 feet long from base
to tip. The natural slope of the ground is towards the south,
and at the north end the mound is 18 inches high and the top
being built level, it, as a consequence gains in height as it nears
the south end, therefore the mound is 18 inches high at the north
end of head and is five feet high at the south end, or base of the
tail.
In appearance the top and border of the mound is smooth and
level, but at one place near the northwest end and about ten feet
from the border is a small raise, or mound on the top of the
main, or large mound. This is smooth and regular in appear-
ance, is oblong in shape, about 18 inches high by 20 feet long and
10 feet wide. Fifteen feet south of the small mound and on the
156 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 3
same side is a slight depression, or low place, also oblong in shape
and about 8 feet wide by 20 long. That part of the southwest
side and end beginning at the rear of the rear limb and running
in a nearly straight line towards the base of the tail has been
slightly damaged by the flood waters of Plum Creek. All of the
limbs are traceable. For the past two years the top of the
mound has been under cultivation, used as a garden patch by
the Rasmussens.
Village Site
At a distance ranging from five rods to eight rods west from
Plum creek is an abrupt hill that rises to a height of about fifteen
feet. The field back from the top of this hill for some distance
is slightly rolling and slopes both towards the north and to
the south. This field lies directly between the two mounds. The
Maple Tree mound is about fifteen rods from the south end of
the field and the bear effigy is at the north end, at the foot of
the ground that slopes to the north. It is on the higher ground
of the field south from the bear mound and west from the top
of the hill for some forty to fifty rods that there must once have
been a populous Indian village, judging from the number of im-
plements and quantity of refuse found here when the land was
first brought under cultivation. Formerly many chipped stone im-
plements and some copper spear points were found, hearth stones,
broken fragments of pottery and clam shells were strewn all over
the field and the bones of animals were found in great heaps
near by. These have long since disappeared and only a very
few flint and quartzite chips remain. An occasional arrow head
is found after an extra deep plowing. In the adjoining field to
the north was formerly a plot, several acres in extent of garden
beds. These have been leveled off and no trace of them remains.
Setterlund Mound
Of this once large group of mounds, located in the N. W. 14
of the N. E. 14 of Section 22, Union Township, only five remain,
four of them apparently intact, the fifth has been mutilated by
relic hunters a circular hole two feet in diameter having been dug
into the top. These mounds are situated on the hillside fifty feet
above and in a row parallel to the road, the direction of the
country road being east and west at this place. All are of about
Marking of the Delavan Lake Mounds. 157
the same height, but vary some as to size, ranging from 12 feet
wide by 20 long to 18 feet wide by 26 feet long and separated by
distances of from ten feet to twenty feet.
Forty feet below the above mentioned mounds is the remnant
of another row of six mounds partly destroyed by road con-
struction; the lower, or down hill half of each mound having
been graded away.
This group of mounds is on the line of the old Lake Pepin-
Eau Galle-Menomonie Falls trail.
Of many large mounds that were once included in this large
group none remain at this time. These were located at the foot of
the hill below the road in what is now a cultivated field and have
long since been completely destroyed by cultivation.
This group of mounds is located one-half mile east of the
village site on Schneckloth 's Addition, and is on the east side of
Plum Creek, one fourth mile from its east bank.
MARKING OF THE DELAVAN LAKE MOUNDS
On Sunday, July 12, archeologists, historians and many other
interested persons from Madison, Fort Atkinson, Elkhorn,
Darien, Sharon, Williams Bay, Lake Geneva, East Troy, Janes-
ville, Beloit, Kenosha and other southern Wisconsin cities and
villages journeyed to Delavan to attend the unveiling .of a tablet
marker on a group of prehistoric Indian mounds located on
the Assembly grounds on the shore of Delavan Lake. About
two hundred persons were present at the ceremony which took
place at 3 p. m. Among these were many residents of the sum-
mer resort colonies on the several shores of this large and beauti-
ful southern Wisconsin lake. Quite a large number of these,
coming from Chicago, Rockford, Freeport and other northern
Illinois cities, had never before seen an Indian mound.
Mrs. Dan E. Cannon of Delavan, an officer of the Delavan
Womans Club, and through whose interest and activity the
preservation and marking of the Indian earthworks has been
made possible, acted as master of ceremonies. Mr. Harry E.
Cole of Baraboo, president of the State Historical society, de-
livered the opening address. He spoke of the great educational
value to the citizens of the state of preserving and marking
158 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 3
representative groups of Indian earthworks. He explained the
significance of the different classes of these found in Wisconsin.
He pointed out what had been accomplished in this direction
in the past twenty years in preserving and marking various
mounds and mound groups about Baraboo and Madison.
Mr. W. C. English of Wyocena made a fine plea for the ac-
quirement, preservation and protection of Indian landmarks of
all classes. No state east of the Mississippi river formerly
possessed a greater number of these than "Wisconsin. Many
had been needlessly destroyed through ignorance of their his-
torical value.
Dr. W. G. McLachlan, the value of whose services to the state
in charting and investigating the Indian remains of the Lake
Waubesa and Kegonsa regions, is well and widely known, gave
a very interesting account of his contributions to Wisconsin
archeological history. The unveiling address was delivered by
Mr. Charles E. Brown, secretary of the Wisconsin Archeological
society. He gave an account of the history of the early Wis-
consin tribes, and of their material culture. He told of the work
of the pioneer archeologists of the state and of the continuation
of their work since the year 1900 by the Wisconsin Archeological
society. He described Indian landmarks and sites remaining
in the Delavan Lake region and commemorating its early occu-
pation by the Winnebago and Prairie Potawatomi. He expressed
the thanks of the state society to the Delavan Woman 's club for
preserving to the public and marking the fine mounds on the
Assembly grounds.
The fine bronze tablet erected oy the Club is mounted on a
large boulder placed in the midst of the group. It bears the in-
scription :
Group of Prehistoric Indian Burial Mounds
And Winnebago Village Site
Marked by the
Delavan Womans Club
1925
Mr. Gabriel Melotte, of Fort Atkinson, a member of the Wis-
consin Menomini tribe, entertained the audience with a number
of Indian dances and an appropriate Indian song.
Meeting of Anthropological Association. 159
MEETING OF THE CENTRAL SECTION, AMERICAN
ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
The American Anthropological Association, Central Section,
held its annual meeting at the State Museum, Springfield, Illi-
nois, on Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25. About forty
members and visitors from seven Middle West states were pres-
ent and participated in the program, discussions and business
meeting. In the absence of President Dr. Berthold Laufer, Vice-
president Charles E Brown presided. Dr. A. R. Crook, di-
rector of the Illinois State museum, welcomed the members of
the association to Springfield. A gavel made from a limb of
the famous Logan Elm was presented to the association by Dr.
W. C. Mills, director of the Ohio State Museum, at Columbus,
a former president of the Section. It was used by Mr. Brown
in conducting the meetings.
Reports on the progress of the state archeological surveys
in Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin were made by the Messrs.
Shetrone, Keyes, Fox and Brown. Prof. Fay Cooper Cole pre-
sented a paper on "The Matriarchiate in Central Sumatra,' '
Mr. Alonzo Pond presented two papers on "The Aurignacian
Necklace at Beloit College" and "The Magdalenian Carvings
on Stone at Beloit College," illustrating both with the very
valuable and interesting specimens described. That evening
the members of the Section were entertained at dinner by Mr.
and Mrs. Edward D. Payne at their home. After dinner an
opportunity was given to see the very large and valuable col-
lection of American archeological specimens which Mr. Payne
has spent many years and a large amount of money in assem-
bling and which fills a number of rooms in the basement of his
home, and space in his downtown office building. This was a
real treat, the Payne collection being known to be one of the
largest and finest private collections in the United States.
At the meeting of the section held at the State museum on
Saturday morning interesting papers were presented by Dr.
Edward Miloslavich, Milwaukee, on "Occurrence of Potency of
Foramen Ovule Cordis in Different Races and Peoples"; by
Mr. George R. Fox, Three Oaks, Michigan, on "The Niven
Tablets of Azcapotzalco, " and by Mr. Ralph Linton, Chicago,
160 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 3
on ' ' The Origin of the Pawnee Human Sacrifice to the Morning
Star." All were discussed by the members present.
Secretary -treasurer George R, Fox presented a report on the
finances, membership and other affairs of the Section. Mr.
Charles E. Brown, Madison, Wisconsin, was elected president
of the Section, Prof. Charles R. Keyes, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, vice-
president, and Mr. George R. Fox, Three Oaks, Michigan, sec-
retary-treasurer. Invitations were extended to hold the 1926
meeting at Beloit, Chicago and Columbus. It was decided to
accept the invitation extended by Mr. H. C. Shetrone to hold
the meeting at Columbus.
The members inspected, under the guidance of Dr. Crook, the
fine natural history and anthropological collections which he has
assembled for the public in the halls of the beautiful new state
museum building.
THE PRAIRIE POTAWATOMI
In a recent publication of the Milwaukee Public museum,
Alanson Skinner presents an interesting monograph on "The
Mascoutens or Prairie Potawatomi Indians." The greater part
of the material which he records was obtained from Sam Bosley
(Samuel Derosier), a Potawatomi Indian of the Bald Eagle
gens and of the "Wabash band, since deceased and residing until
recently among the Kickapoo of McCloud, Oklahoma. His na-
tive name was Wa puka or "Watching." During his brief
residence in Milwaukee a number of the members of the Wis-
consin Archeological society became quite well acquainted with
this fine old Indian. Several other Prairie Potawatomi also
furnished information to the author.
The author points out that "there is, and apparently has
been for a long time, a considerable difference in language and
general ethnology between the remnants of the Potawatomi who
reside in the forests of northern Wisconsin, Michigan and south-
ern Ontario and the bands which make up the Mascoutens,
or Prairie division. The Forest Potawatomi still, to some ex-
tent, retain what the writer is inclined to regard as an archaic,
simple, non-intensive Algonkian culture, closely related to that
of the northern Ojibway and Cree.
The Prairie Potawotomi. Kjl
Their social organization is not so complex, their art is not
so highly developed, and their manufactures are far ruder
than those of the Prairie Band. There has, however, always
been some intercourse, and even intermarriage between the two,
yet they regard each other as separate, and both divisions feel
that the interests of the Forest Potawatomi lie rather with their
old time associates, the Ottawa, Ojibwa, and, to a lesser extent,
the Menomini, than with the Mascoutens. There are some run-
away Prairie Potawatomi settled in Wisconsin, especially at
and near Arpin, but these must not be confounded with the
true Forest Potawatomi, many of whom have always dwelt in
the state, as did their ancestors before them, and have never
roamed the Prairies of Wisconsin, Illinois and Kansas."
The writer points out the resemblance of the artifacts found
on known Potawatomi sites along the west shore of Lake Michi-
gan in Wisconsin, and numerous specimens of which are*; to
be seen today in the public museums at Green Bay, Madison
and Milwaukee and in many private collections, to those found
on prehistoric Algonkian sites in central and western New York
and southern Ontario. He believes that the old home of the
historic Algonkian tribes of Wisconsin was in central and
western New York. "In their westward wanderings, it .ap-
pears that after the downfall of the Iroquois confederacy, that
the southern division of the Potawatomi, even then called
Mascoutens, and the Kickapoo, moved southward in a body to
the prairies of Illinois and Indiana. Here, over the protest of
the surviving Illinois, the Miami and Peoria, they took over
large sections of country.
Ten divisions of the Prairie Potawatomi are enumerated.
Of these the Muskodaniniuk, or Prairie Band, formerly dwelt
about the southern end of Lake Michigan, with headquarters
at Chicago, but ranged at least as far north as Milwaukee. The
Shishipani, Duck Band, were also around Chicago, the Muski-
gwani, Sunfish Band, were located about the Muskego lakes,
in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, and the Kanwa tho, Pan-
ther Band, had its headquarters at Milwaukee. Other bands
were located in Indiana, Michigan and Canada. The Prairie
Potawatomi were divided into twenty-three gentes grouped in
six weak phratries.
Several interesting chapters in the monograph are devoted
162 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 3
to a consideration of the social life of the Potawatomi, child-
birth, fasting, training of girls, marriage, war customs, and
to their ceremonial activities.
The student interested in Potawatomi history and ethnology
is also referred to to the section devoted to this tribe in the
Handbook of American Indians, Part 2, and to the monograph,
"The Potawatomi," published by Publius V. Law-son, in The
Wisconsin Archeologist, v. 19 no. 2.
MEETING OF SEVERAL STATE SOCIETIES
A joint meeting of the Wisconsin Archeological Society, the
Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters, the Wis-
consin Museums Conference, and the Winnebago County Ar-
cheological and Historical Society, was, by invitation of the
last named society, held at the Oshkosh State Normal School,
on Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11. There was a good
attendance of members of all of the societies. Professor Leon
J. Cole, president of the Academy, presided at all of the meet-
ings except that of the Museums Conference, which was con-
ducted by President Arthur C. Neville. Twelve papers were
presented during the Friday morning and afternoon sessions.
Of notable interest among these were illustrated papers by
Prof. L. J. Cole on "An Unusual Agricultural Museum ;" by
W. I. Lyon on "Progress in Bird Banding", and by Albert
E. Fuller on "The Orchids of Wisconsin."
A round table discussion of museum topics lead by Mrs.
Arthur C. Neville and Miss Deborah B. Martin closed the morn-
ing session.
The papers presented at the Saturday morning session were
by Huron H. Smith on "The Flowers of Shakespeare's Garden,"
by H. E. Cole on "The Wisconsin Military Road," by Gene
Sturtevant on "Extracts from the Letter Book of Judge James
Duane Doty", by George Overton on "Indian Remains in Win-
nebago County", by E. A. Clemens on "Development of a
Typical Wisconsin Rural Community", and by Charles E'.
Brown on "Wisconsin Archeological Researches, 1912-1925."
A visit was made by those in attendance at the meeting to
the home in the fine Sawyer mansion of the recently organized
Stone Balls. • 163
Oshkosh Public museum. Here Curator N. J. Behncke and others
addressed the guests. The excellent collections in this
museum were greatly admired.
The annual dinner of the societies was held at the Athearn
hotel on Friday evening, about one hundred ladies and gentle-
men being present. Following the dinner an adjournment was
taken to the assembly room of the City high school where illustra-
ted lectures were delivered by Mr. Alonzo W. Pond on "Delv-
ing Back in History", and by Dr. S. A. Barrett on "Filming
the Moose on Isle Roy ale 7'
Throughout the two days of this very successful meeting
members of the Winnebago County Archeological Society did
everything possible for the comfort and entertainment of their
guests.
STONE BALLS
In many Wisconsin collections of Indian stone implements
there are to be seen a few, or numbers, of stone balls of vari-
ous sizes most of which were collected from Indian village sites.
The number of these in the collections of the State Historical
museum is quite large, these smooth, spherical or ovoid stones
ranging in size from one to five inches. Most are from two to
two and one-half inches in diameter. They are waterworn
stones collected by their former aboriginal owners from the
beds of streams and from gravel deposits. Rarely do they
show any trace of aboriginal modification.
Among Wisconsin collectors the probable manner in which
such stones were used by the early Indians has always been
in doubt. A few show marks indicating their - probable use
as hand hammers. A small number have accompanied burials
in mounds. Some students of Wisconsin archeology have ad-
vanced the idea that these smooth, round stones may have been
employed by the early Indians in playing some rolling game.
Ethnologists have not, however, reported the former existence
of any such sport among the local tribes.
The Dakota of the Plains formerly enclosed round stones in
a piece of rawhide which they attached to a wooden handle
and used as a war club. Armstrong states that the Sioux and
Ojibwa used stone-headed clubs in some of their battles in north-
164 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. • Vol. 4, No. 3
ern Wisconsin. The wooden ball-headed war clubs of the Chip-
pewa, Menomini, Potawatomi and Ojibwa of Wisconsin are prob-
ably modern representations of these former stone-headed clubs.
The wooden ball is said to represent the thunderbolts ol the
Thunderers or war gods.
Skinner says: "The (Menomini) elders speak of a type of
war club, a specimen of which I once saw, owned by Kine' sa.
This was a slungshot, made by covering a small, heavy, round
stone with rawhide, and attaching it loosely by a thong to a
short leather-covered handle of wood about six inches long.
The weapon was carried by a thong which was slipped over
the wrist. As the Menomini regard pebbles and similar small
concretions as thunderbolts, or eggs, such weapons as the slung-
shot are no doubt supposed to have additional value, in that
they struck the enemy with the power of the lightning. The
writer has seen stone-headed clubs, but longer handled, among
the Winnebago."
The Menomini and Chippewa sometimes keep round stones,
which they believe to be eggs dropped by the thunderbirds^, in
their wigwams and houses as charms against lightning strokes.
In the Milwaukee Public museum there are a number of such
stones which were collected among the Menomini near Keshena.
The Winnebago say that the shattered condition of the rocks
about Devils Lake is due to the eggs dropped by the Thunders
in a conflict with the water spirits inhabiting the depths of this
beautiful Wisconsin lake.
A wooden ball-headed war club in the State Historical muse-
um forms one of the contents of an old Winnebago war bundle.
Its carved head is said to represent the otter who is shown
holding a wooden ball, said to represent the earth, in his jaws.
INDIAN NAMES OF OUR WISCONSIN LAKES
Owing to the failure of former historians and map makers to
collect and preserve them the interesting and significant names
of a very large number of our beautiful Wisconsin lakes are to-
day unknown. This is greatly to be regretted. The Wisconsin
Indian tribes had names for all or nearly all of these bodies of
water, large and small. It is important that the aboriginal
Indian Names of Our Wisconsin Lakes. 165
designations of as many as possible of these lakes should be re-
covered from well-informed members of present tribes of the
state before it is too late. The same applies to the streams,
springs, hills, valleys and other physiographical features of the
state. The names of old Indian village sites and trails should
also be recovered wherever possible.
This is an important and valuable work in which many mem-
bers and friends of the Wisconsin Archeological Society may
assist. It is hoped that all will render such assistance whenever
the opportunity offers. It was not until about two years ago
that the old Winnebago names of the four Madison lakes were
recovered with the aid of a former member of the society. A list
of the early Menomini names of former village and camp sites
of members of this tribe on the shores of Green Bay and in the
Fox Eiver valley were collected by another member and have
been published in a recent issue of the Wisconsin Archeologist.
Names and information collected should be sent to Secretary
Charles E. Brown, at Madison, where it may be preserved for
future use in the society's files.
Dr. Lawrence Martin says of our Wisconsin lakes: "The
total number is not known, but it reaches into the thousands.
Of these the largest is Lake Winnebago. The other lakes fall in
four groups. ' ' The first group includes the scattered, moderate-
sized lakes in eastern and southern Wisconsin. These include
the four-lake group of the Yahara river near Madison, Mendota,
Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa, as well as Lakes Koshkonong,
Geneva, Beaver, Puckaway, Poygan and Shawano, the Oconomo-
woc and Waupaca groups, and many others.
"The second group, including many hundreds of small lakes,
lie in the highland lake district of northern Wisconsin, chiefly
in Vilas, Oneida and Iron counties. All of these lakes are
small, but there are few parts of the world where so large a
portion of the total area is occupied by lakes.
"The third group is in northwestern Wisconsin, especially in
Washburn, Burnett, Polk, Barron, and Sawyer counties. These,
like the second group, are small lakes, very close together.
"Lastly we have Lake St. Croix and Lake Pepin — long narrow
bodies of water — interrupting respectively the courses of the St.
Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Allied to them are the hundreds
of small flood-plain lakes of the Mississippi bottomlands."*

RELIGION OF THE WISCONSIN MENOMINI
' ' The present religion of the Menomini is a complex of ancient
and modern beliefs, many of which seem confused and con-
tradictory. But when examined with attention to the extraneous
influences brought to bear on the tribe within historic times,
these readily emerge from their obscurity. From the writings of
the Jesuits and other early French adventurers, and from
modern tribal practices and traditions, in many cases virtually
identical with those found in vogue by the first white chroni-
clers, it becomes apparent that the tribe has always possessed
a mass of concepts concerning the universe, which may be stat-
ed briefly as follows :
"The earth is believed to be an island, floating in an illimit-
able ocean, separating the two halves of the universe into an
upper and a lower portion, regarded as the abode of the benevo-
lent and the malevolent powers, respectively. Each portion is
divided into four superimposed tiers, inhabited by supernatural
beings, the power of whom increases in ratio to their remoteness
from the earth. In the highest tier above the earth resides the
deity to whom all others are subordinate. The testimony of the
early writers is unanimous that this being was the Sun, but he
is now, probably through missionary influence, personified as
Ihe Great Spirit (Mate JJ'dw'd tuk), leaving the Sun in an
anamalous position.
"Beneath the supreme being, in descending order, some say
clustered about a cylindrical opening in the heavens, are the tiers
of bird-like deities. First, in the empyrean, come the Thunder-
birds, gods of war. Associated with these, in some manner not
apparent, is the Morning Star. Next comes the realm of the
Golden or War Eagles, and the White Swan ; and last, in the
stratum that touches the earth, birds of all species, headed by the
Bald Eagles and various hawks, kites, and swallows. All of
these birds, regardless of stratum, are servants and messengers
of the Great Spirit, any existing species named being thought to
be earthly representatives of the Thunderers.
1 ' Except for the Sun and the Morning Star, little attention is
paid to the heavenly bodies. The Moon is regarded as possessed
of power, but it is not important. There are also certain minor
sacred personages who shall dwell in the sky-country, among
Religion of the Wisconsin Menomini. 167
whom are several sisters who preside over the destinies of women,
and to whom various colors are appropriate. Their place in the
heavenly strata is not fixed.
''Beneath the earth, there is, the lowest tier, the Great White
Bear with a long copper tail, who, in addition to being the chief
and patron of all earthly bears and the traditional ancestor of
the Menomini tribe, is the principal power for evil. He has, as
a servant, a mythical hairless bear. Next, in ascending order,
is the great Underground Panther, who figures extensively in
the demonology of the Central Algonkian and Southern Siouan
tribes. He is represented on earth by the panther and the lynx.
Next is the White Deer, prominent in the origin myth of the
Medicine Dance. Last of all, close to the earth, and often visible
to its inhabitants, is the Horned Hairy Serpent so generally
found in North American mythology. "The earth itself is
peopled by a myriad of fantastic hobgoblins. Cannibal giants
dwell in the icy region of the north; a malevolent living
skeleton, with death-dealing eyes, haunts the forests after night-
fall. Similar to him, but less terrible, is a mysterious person
bearing a sacred bundle upon his back, who, like the Wandering
Jew, is doomed to travel ceaselessly in expiation of some for-
gotten sin. He wrestles with Indians from time to time, and, if
he is overcome, grants his conqueror long life ; if he is the victor,
the days of the vanquished are numbered.
' ' A race of pygmies inhabits remote rocky fastnesses. A well-
disposed elf smites people on the head with a soft warclub,
causing sleep. Flying heads and skulls, of varying intentions
towards the race of men, exist and there is a mysterious man who
follows and molests belated travelers. Eocks, ponds and hills
have their fancied denizens. All species of animals are ruled by
supernatural chiefs, mostly dwelling underground, and these,
with the Powers of the Underworld, show themselves on earth
from time to time. In swamp-holes, lakes, and rivers, under
waterfalls, and in lonely hills may be found stray horned snakes,
bears, panthers, and, in modern times, dogs, hogs, and horses.
Wringing their living from a reluctant earth filled with such
marvelous and often dangerous beings, menaced by the
imaginary forces of the Underworld, what wonder that the

their neighbors are those of propitiation and supplication of the

stance, it is believed that" only the incessant warfare waged by
the Thunderers upon the Powers Below prevents their constant
appearance on earth to the bane of men; but, working on the
theory that it was wise to placate that which they could in no
wise combat, the elders dedicated the greatest part of the
sacrifices of antiquity to the Nether Gods. At an early date,
however, we find that sacred objects and rites, supposed to have
been given in dreams to individuals for the benefit of the tribe,
were known. Chief of these articles were the war-bundles,
strong charms for offense and defense. Certain men who
succeeded in getting en repport with the deities, for example,
members of the Wd bano cult, who are prophets, seers, and
jugglers, through the aid of the Morning Star, or of the Je 'sako
wuk, who are doctors and diviners through supernatural visions,
came to be recognized, as did sorcerers, who obtained personal
benefits from the Powers of Evil in return for harassing their
fellowmen.
"The matter of getting into communication with the deities,
or some of them, was the private concern of every individual of
the tribe, male or female, and was accomplished by fasting, and
thus "incubating" or artifically inducing, dream-revelations
when at the age of puberty. In this wray were the war and
hunting bundles obtained, as well as personal charms, fetishes,
and the rituals of various loosely organized cults, as the ' ' Buffalo
Dance", and the extinct "Thunder Society".
"Sacrifices of food, clothing, dogs, and, especially, tobacco,
were and are constantly made to all supernatural powers, ac-
companying petitions for various gifts and blessings. Tobacco
is supposed to be highly prized by all the deities, and no prayer
is complete without it. Such an offering must be made to all
medicine-bags or bundles on displaying, opening, or disturbing
them.
"No request for information of the esoteric sort addressed to
the elders is valid without being accompanied with the herb.
Tobacco is sacrificed by placing it on or near the object to which
it is offered, by throwing it in the air, if the recipient addressed
is one of the Powers Above, or burying it in the earth if he is
one of the Underworld Gods. It is often smoked, and the pipe
or its fumes proffered, but is almost never cast on the fire for
incense. Traceable to an early beginning, founded on the fore-
going beliefs, and intimately associated with the tribal origin and

and little -understood society called the Mita win. In the
cosmogonic myth we are told that the Great Spirit (Sun) created
the earth and caused it to spring up on itself personified as a
woman ("our grandmother,,), and that she eventually became
miraculously pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. The
daughter in turn conceived, some say through the agency of the
Four Winds, but she was torn asunder in childbirth, having
previously borne a being known as the Great Hare (Mate
Wa'pus, since corrupted into Ma 'niibus), a wolf, also known as
Na' patao, an anthropomorphic personage, and a flint stone, the
latter issuing naturally and causing her death. Some versions
of the myth make her also the mother of all animal kind.
"Of the children, the Great Hare, who rarely appears except
in human form, is by far the most important, for he alone is
imbued with the power of the Great Spirit. He proceeded to
prepare the world for its coming occupancy by human tenants
through a series of tremendous and heroic deeds, including the
recreation of the earth after the flood.
' l Although it seems difficult to reconcile the character of the
timorous and foolish hare with that of the great earth-making
Culture God, child of the primal forces, if we accept Brinton's
hypothesis that among Algonkians the name of the hero was
originally compounded not with the word wa' pus, a hare, but
with wa' pan, meaning dawn, east, or light I have here employed
the Menomini native terms), and has since become confused by
oral descent through generations until it has assumed its present
form, we have a native conception of a heroic demigod." (A.
Skinner, Material Culture of the Menomini, in Indian Indian

MUSEUM ROBBERIES
On or about April 28 thieves gained access to several locked
cases in the exhibition halls of the State Historical museum,
at Madison, and succeeded in stealing Indian stone, copper and
trade implements, ornaments and trade jewelry, and a number
of wood and ivory carvings from European and Oriental coun-
tries. The thieves, two young Chicago Polish — American col-
lector-dealers, were traced to that city, where, with the assist-
170 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 3
ance of the local detective bureau all but a few of the stolen
specimens were recovered from antique and curio shops and
collectors to whom they had been sold for small sums by the
thieves. Photographs and descriptions of the thieves were ob-
tained and the men are being sought for by the police.
These young men have been previously imprisoned in a Wis-
consin institution for similar robberies of Wisconsin and Illi-
nois museums. They are also suspected of a number of other
recent thefts from museums and antique shops. One of the
men formerly held a minor position in a Chicago museum,
being discharged for stealing from that institution. Both men
frequently advertised under various names and Chicago ad-
dresses in collectors' journals both offering to sell and pur-
chase Indian relics and other curios. At least one well-known
collector has been defrauded by submitting to them on approval
objects which he wished to sell. These were never returned.
They are also known to have had recent dealings with certain
supposedly reputable collectors. It is to be wondered at that
certain eurio shops in Chicago and the Middle West will make
purchases of objects, which they must know to be stolen, from
such men as these. An investigation of some of these shops
appears to indicate that they also should be under police sur-
veillance as well as the pawn shops of our cities.
In their travels these two young robbers have ranged as far
east as Philadelphia.
The historical and other museums of the Middle West are
warned to be on the lookout for these young men. Robberies
have also recently occurred at the state museum at Nashville,
Tennessee, and the museum at Kalamazoo, Michigan. At the
former institution a number of valuable large bird shaped
pipes and large discoidals were taken, and at the latter a num-
ber of bird stones and other archeological specimens of worth.
The Masonic museum at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, also recently
suffered from the depredations of thieves. Archeologists and
collectors are asked to lend their assistance in checking these
thefts of specimens from public institutions. They are asked
not to purchase specimens from persons whom they do not know.
The assistance of the American Museums Association has been
requested in capturing and assisting in the prosecution of thieves
of this character.

The State Historical museum of Wisconsin reports that among
the stolen objects which it has not yet recovered are a large
silver George III Indian medal, two copper pikes with one
hooked extremity eleven and fourteen inches in length, a double-
barred silver cross, a silver snuff box with an ornamental cover
and a socketted copper spearpoint with a bent blade. All of
these specimens can be identified. Other objects include a
Norwegian gilt brooch with circular pendants, a small silver
vase with cloissonne ornamentation, a painted porcelain brooch
set with brilliants, carved wood and ivory netsukes from Japan,
and a mosaic cross ornament from Italy.

President Dr. E. J. W. Notz conducted the meeting of the Wisconsin
Archeological Society which was held in the Trustee hall of the Mil-
waukee Public museum, on Monday evening, April 20. There were
fifty members and visitors in attendance.
The president appointed a committee consisting of Dr. S. A. Barrett,
Mr. Ira Edwards, Mr. W. H. Vogel, C. G. Schoewe and R. L. Maas to
make arrangements for a proper celebration of the twenty-fifth anni-
versary of the state society.
Secretary Brown made a report on the American Anthropological
Association, Central Section meeting, at Springfield, Illinois.
Dr. George L. Collie of Beloit delivered an interesting lecture on
"Aboriginal Necklaces" which he illustrated with a quite large col-
lection of these from the Logan museum. Among these was the
famous Aurignician necklace from a prehistoric cave dwelling in
Les Eysies, France. This oldest necklace in the world is estimated
to be about 75,000 years old. Mr. Vetal Winn exhibited an interesting
stone celt. At the meeting of the Executive Board, held earlier in
the evening, Mr. W. C. McKern was elected a member of the society.
Fifty-five members and guests were present at the meeting of the
society held at Milwaukee, on May 18. President Notz presided.
Secretary Brown announced a contribution of five dollars received from
Mrs. Norman T. Gill, treasurer of the Wisconsin D. A. R. towards
the Aztalan Mound Park fund. The Executive Board had elected
Mr. C. H. Thordarson, Chicago, a life member, and Prof. Alfred V.
Boursy and Hugo C. Schwartz, Milwaukee, annual members of the
society.
Mr. Charles E. Brown gave a talk on "The Flint Arrowpoint"
which he illustrated with specimens. Mr. George A. West, Mr. C. G.
Schoewe and Miss Agnes Sperry participated in the discussion which
followed. Exhibits of archeological specimens were made by Mr.
Anton Sohrweide, Mr. Schoewe, and Miss Sperry. Mr. Schoewe re-
ported on a visit made to certain mound groups in the Lake Puckaway
region.
On Saturday, June 20, there were unveiled at the Logan Museum,
Beloit College, Beloit, a series of twelve large mural paintings il-
lustrating the descent of aboriginal man from the prehistoric cave
dwellers of Europe. These are the gift to the Museum of a friend,
Dr. Frank G. Logan of Chicago. The museums of the Middle West
were represented at this ceremony by Mr. Ralph Linton of the Field
Museum, Chicago, and Mr. Charles E. Brown of the Wisconsin His-
torical Museum, who were among the speakers on the program. Dr.
George L. Collie, its director has built up at Beloit a very useful
museum illustrating American and European archeology.
For the use of students of the summer session of the University of
Wisconsin, Mr. Charles E. Brown, director of the State Historical
Museum, at Madison, has published an attractive leaflet entitled "The
Trees of the Campus" in which the sixty species of native and
twenty species of foreign trees on the University campus are described
and located. Among these are a number of historic trees including a

on the edge of Observatory hill, in front of the home of former presi-
dents of the University. Two chapters in this leaflet are devoted to a
consideration of the uses of trees and the folklore of trees.
In previous years Mr. Brown has published other summer session
leaflets bearing the titles of "Little Walks About Madison," "Indian
Folk Lore." "Paul Bunyan Tales," "Flower Toys and Games," "Cam-

Butler, Roland B. Dixon, Frederick W. Hodge, Charles R. Keyes,
William C. Mills, Warren K. Moorehead, H. M. Whelpley and Clark
Wissler, all nationally known men in the field of American anthro-
pology. A report of the state surveys and other work conducted by
the committee in various states is now being published. In the Middle
West states of Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa and Wisconsin espe-
cially notable progress is being made in surveying, exploring and
recording Indian remains.
The Wisconsin Museums Conference and the Wisconsin Archeo-
logical Society are considering the holding of a joint meeting at Green
Bay, Wisconsin, on about October 15. Mr. Arthur C. Neville, Green
Bay, is the present president of the Conference and Dr. Eberhard
J. W. Notz, Milwaukee, the president of the Wisconsin Archeological
Society. During this meeting it is planned to conduct an automobile
pilgrimage to some of the more important historic sites in the Green
Bay region and to mark several of these with metal tablets. During
the month of August the Wisconsin Archeological Society will unveil
a tablet to be erected on a fine Indan bear effigy mound in Devils Lake
State Park, where the society has marked other notable Indian mounds
in previous years. The society has just published a "Fifth Addition
to the Record of Wisconsin Indian Antiquities" in which ten thousand
additional Indian mounds and sites are located in seventy Wisconsin
counties. Copies of this publication may be obtained through its
Madison office.
The Wisconsin and Illinois chapters of The Friends of Our Native
Landscape held their annual spring meeting at the Wisconsin River
Dells at Kilbourn, Wisconsin, on Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7.
About 250 members of the two societies were present at the meeting,
the program of which included visits to the principal scenic and
historical features of the region. Mr. John S. Donald, president of
the Wisconsin Chapter, of Madison, and Mr. Jens Jenson of Chicago
were among the principal speakers at the gathering of nature lovers,
historians and archeologists. On Saturday evening the Chicago Chap-
ter produced in Artist's glen before a large audience its impressive
masque, "Beauty of the Wild."
Dr. George L. Collie and Mr. Alonzo W. Pond have been exploring a
prehistoric cave in France. Mr. Pond has gone on to Algiers to con-
duct explorations of prehistoric sites. Mr. Arthur C. Parker has been

THE LAKE KEGONSA REGION
' W. G. McLachlan, A. B. M. D.
Introduction
This region is made up of contiguous parts of the townships of
Dunn, Cottage Grove, Blooming Grove, and Pleasant Springs,
in Dane County, Wisconsin. It is drained by Lake Kegonsa and
its affluents and has an area of twenty square miles.
The Indian mound groups in this region are located around
the northern and western shores of Lake Kegonsa and along the
rim of the valley of Door Creek, for about five miles north, and
that of another small creek to the east, for more than that dis-
tance north. The extreme eastern edge of the valley and wide-
spread of this latter creek has not been investigated by the
writer.
The valley of these tributaries, for varying distances, on each
side of the streams, are wet and boggy. Old settlers state that
they remember when these marshes were larger, forming wide-
spreads covered with water during the whole year and extending
out irregularly long distances from the river valleys.
Since this survey was begun, ten years ago, much has been
added to the cultivated low land by straightening out and
deepening the creeks and other efficient drainage, so that in a
comparatively short time, the last vestige of the original con-
dition of this wide and sluggish old waterway, which, at one
time was doubtless an extension of the old lake, will have en-
tirely disappeared.
The farmers have been adding to their high tillable lands, by
bringing groves and old pasture lands under cultivation, and
thus gradually encroaching on the lowly monuments of the In-
182 WISCONSIN AKCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 1
dians scattered over this region. Each decade witnesses the
destruction not only of single mounds, but the obliteration of
whole groups. Scarcely a person is living who saw them when
undisturbed.
Field work has been a great means of preserving a knowledge
of these ancient remains, and in some cases has created an in-
terest and public sentiment tending to their preservation. A
surface survey of the Indian earthworks of the region having
now been completed by the writer, it is now desirable that the
exploration by the Wisconsin Archeological Society of some of
the mounds in the different groups should be undertaken.
The aboriginal earthworks described in this report have been
arranged for convenience of description into — (1) Those situa-
ted on the west side of Door Creek valley, consisting of five
groups. (2) Those on the east side of the same valley, number-
ing five groups. (3) Those bordering East Creek valley, three
groups. (4) Those on the north shore of Lake Kegonsa, com-
prising four groups. (5) Those on the west shore of the lake,
seven groups. (6) One site on the south and one on the east
shore of the lake. (7) Site on Timber Island in Hook Lake.
All of these are shown on the accompanying map.
This survey was made by the writer at odd times during sum-
mer vacations, he being assisted by his son, Fergus McLachlan.
Other data concerning the Indian history of this region and
its archeological remains is furnished by Mr. Charles E. Brown,
secretary of the Wisconsin Archeological Society.
Other Information
Lake Kegonsa is a nearly circular lake. Its circumference is
nine and one-half miles. Its greatest width north and south is
two and one-half and its greatest east and west dimension three
miles. Lorin Miller, the deputy surveyor who made a survey in
1833 of Dunn Township in which the western half of the lake is
situated, says of it: "This is a good township of land, and is
watered with First and Second Lakes and two ponds, with Cat-
fish Creek and a number of small streams, and has few marshes.
Its waters abound with different kinds of fish, such as cat-fish,
pike, black bass and rock bass. Geese and ducks are found in
abundance. The land is rolling and has many artificial mounds in
different parts of the township. Between Sections 34 and 35 is a
natural mound." Of Pleasant Springs Township, in which the

eastern half of the lake is located, he says :" This township, though
divided by its share' of crooked marshes, may be ranked as good
second-rate land. The soil is generally a warm, light, sandy
loam. It may be said to be well watered by the narrow marshes,
in which is running water, in some places contracted into brooks,
but mostly expanded over the marsh. The surface of the town-
ship is for the most part rolling, timbered with burr, white and
yellow oak, rather thinly. A fine old sugar grove is noticed on
Section 20. "He also mentions the presence of Indian mounds
in this township. ' ' He believed that the Catfish, " at a moderate
expense in deepening the channel, "might be made", navigable
to steamboats from Rock River to this lake, a distance, by its
meanders, of about twenty miles. ' '*
The Winnebago Indian name for this lake, according to the
late Dr. N. W. Jipson, is Na-sa-koo-cha-tel-a', or "hard maple
grove" lake, a name doubtless derived from the presence of the
sugar bush on Sugar Bush Point on its northern shore, the site
of an early Winnebago village. Only a few scattered trees of
this once fine maple grove still remain. "Kegonsa", the
Algonkian Indian name given to the lake by Dr. Lyman C.
Draper, early secretary of the State Historical Society, in about
the year 1855, is said to be a corrupt form of gigo agassinad,
meaning ' ' small fish. ' '
At the time of the coming of the first white settlers to the
Four Lakes region Winnebago villages were located on Sugar
Bush Point, and near the east shore of the lake, just south of
the outlet. The sites of several other, perhaps earlier, villages
and camps are described elsewhere in this report. Abundant
evidences of another early village are found on the Fichten (old
Alexander) and Dersten farms at the "iron bridge", south of
Mud Lake. Mud Lake was formerly known as the "Wide-
spread." Other camp and village sites are at present hidden
beneath the sod at various places along the Kegonsa shore, and
others remain to be located on the banks of the marshes along:
Door and East Creeks.
Concerning the Winnebago villages at the outlet and on Sugar
Bush Point only very meagre information is obtainable.

him and dated November 8, 1832, gives the number of Winne-

Pipe was apparently the chief of the Winnebago then resid-
ing at Lake Kegonsa. In this same list the number of Winne-
bago in the village on the east shore of Lake Waubesa is given
as 94, in the village or villages on the Lake Monona shore as 163,
and on the shore of Lake Mendota as 155. Kinzie numbers the
four Madison lakes from north to south. As late as the year
1875 groups of Winnebago on their way from the Rock River
region camped on the shores of Lake Kegonsa.
The Kegonsa Trails
Well-traveled trails connected the Indian village sites on the
shores of Lake Kegonsa with those on the other Madison lakes,
and with the Lake Koshkonong and Sugar River regions.
An important trail, from Illinois, followed the course of the
Sugar River northward to "Demann's Trading House" located
at or near the present site of Albany, on the same stream in
Green County, Wisconsin. From this place it followed a general
northeast direction to the southwest corner of Lake Kegonsa.
Here it turned northward and pursued a northerly course to
the northwest shore where are indications of a former Indian
village. From this place, which was also the site of the paper
"City of the First Lake", of pioneer days, it continued north-
ward for about a mile and a half where, just below Mud Lake,
it crossed the Yahara River near the present "iron bridge",
The Lake Kegonsa Region. 185
where is the site of another early Indian village. From here it
ran northward over the present site of McFarland and on to
the "Grand Crossing" of several trails at the foot of Lake
Monona. The Winnebago say that this was a war trail followed
by their people, and probably in earlier days by both their tribe
and the Illinois.
At the northwest shore of Lake Kegonsa a branch of this
trail went to the northwest to the foot of Lake Waubesa and up
the west side of that Lake to the ' ' Grand Crossing. ' ' The course
of this Illinois-Four Lakes trail is laid down on the Western
Land District, Wisconsin, map of 1836.
A "Map of Wisconsin Territory", made by Captain Thomas
J. Cram, in 1839, shows the course of a trail from the southwest
shore of Lake Koshkonong to Lake Kegonsa. This lead northwest
in a great curve to a point just north of the outlet of Lake
Kegonsa. Here it crossed to the Winnebago village site on the
south side of the Yahara and proceeded southward to the south
shore of the lake where it connected with the Illinois trail.
Two trails, one from north of and the other from east of
Hook Lake also lead to the northwest shore of Lake Kegonsa.
The Lake Koshkonong (Rock River) trail, or a branch of
it, also lead from north of the Yahara River outlet of Lake
Kegonsa westward for a short distance to the Winnebago village
at Sugar Bush Point on the northeast shore of that lake. From
this point it pursued a general northerly direction.
From near the east shore of Mud Lake a trail ran in a north-
easterly direction toward Door Creek. On one early Wisconsin
map this is designated as a trail to Green Bay. Another trail is
shown as leading from the south shore of Lake Kegonsa to
Caramaunee's Winnebago village at the union of the Yahara
with the Rock River. In its southward course it followed the
west bank of the Yahara.
Kegonsa Mounds and Sites
West Side of Door Creek
1. Otto Shantz Group. This is the most northerly of the
several mound groups located on the banks of Door Creek. The
mounds are in a tobacco field on a small plateau on the west
side of and above a marsh which here spreads out along the bank
of the creek. To the west of this field the remainder of the
186 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
plateau is a pasture bounded on the west by a high hill, the
northern terminus of a ridge of hills extending northward from
the Julius Freund farm.
The mounds are in the E. % of Section 30, Cottage Grove
Township. The remaining mounds of this group consist of two
linear earthworks one of which is now badly defaced. They are
50 feet apart and are parallel to each other, their direction be-
ing northwest and southeast. The most northerly of the mounds
is 82 feet long, from 18 to 20 feet wide and 4 feet high. The
other mound, which was formerly of the same size and form as
the other, is now barely traceable in the field.
No implements or other indications of a former early camp or
village site have been found here. Small numbers of Winnebago
Indians formerly camped in this field. About thirty years ago
Mr. John-Shantz, the father of the present owner of the farm,
forbade their longer trespassing on his land.
2. P. Anderson Mound. This mound is reported to be the
last remaining mound of a group formerly located on this farm.
It is situated on the northern part of the crest of a steep tree
and bush covered ridge running north and south, in the N. %
of Section 31 of Cottage Grove Township. This ridge is the
highest part of a rise of land extending north and south for a
mile or more.
This linear mound is 280 feet in length, 14 feet in width and
from 2 to 3 feet high. Its direction is a little west of north. Its
northern extremity is west of the S. Lerum farm house and its
southern end east of Anderson's premises.
Mr. Anderson informed the writer that there formerly were
other mounds here. There were destroyed by the cultivation of
the land.
3. Lerum-Skogen Group. Lying in the adjourning pastures
of the Lerum and Skogen farms are two nearly parallel linear
mounds extending northwest and southeast, The most northerly
of these earthworks is 285 feet long, 8 feet wide and from 1 to
iy2 feet high. Its northern extremity is on the Lerum place at
a distance of 46 feet north of the east and west line fence be-
tween the two farms. Of its' total length 112 feet are on this
farm, the remainder on the Skogen farm where it terminates
within a few rods of the high bank at the edge of Door Creek.
The second mound lies about 50 feet south of the northwest

extremity of the mound just described. It is 164 feet long, 10
feet wide and from 1 to 2 feet high. Its eastern end is about 14
feet from the other mound. It lies entirely on the Skogen farm
but shows indications of having once extended into the cultivat-
ed field of the Lerum farm. A freshly cut white oak stump on
its eastern end measures 17 inches in diameter. By its side is a
badly decayed stump of much larger size. On this mound are
a number of white oaks from 5 to 5^2 feet in circumference.
These mounds are in the NE*4 of iSection 31, Cottage Grove
Township.
4. Julius Freund Mounds. Upon a range of hills on the east
side of the Freund farm, facing the valley of Door Creek, are
faint traces of former mounds. On the eastern slope of this
range is a shapeless heap of earth, riddled with skunk holes and
dug excavations, which Mr. Shantz, the former owner of the
farm, states, was once a prominent mound over 4 feet high.
On the crest of the northern part of the hill are faint outlines
of a linear mound. This, as well as the western slope of the hill,
was once under cultivation. It has been in use as a pasture for
many years.
These mounds are in the S. V2 oi Section 36 of Blooming
Grove Township. They are two miles east of Lake Waubesa.
5. Moore Group. In the W. % of Section 1 of Dunn Town-
ship, south of the road to McFarland (No. 10) there is a wooded
hill extending northeast and southwest on the Eighmy farm,
now owned by Milo Moore. On the south this hill descends
gradually to the flats of Door Creek. On this slope are the
mounds. Two of these are animal effigies and one a linear
mound. The latter is 65 feet long, 18 feet wide at its northern
and 15 feet wide at its southern extremity. Is height is 2 feet.
At a distance of 65 feet south of this earthwork is a mound
of the rather rare goose form, its head being directed toward the
creek and Lake Kegonsa. This mound has a wingspread of 135
feet. Its body measures 40 and its tapering neck and head 41
feet in length.
Fifty-six feet south of this mound is a panther type ffigy. Its
body measures 60 and its long tapering tail 62 feet in length.
This is a very common effigy type in the region of the Madison
lakes.
These mounds are located at a distance of about one mile east
of McFarland.

6. Roth Mounds. These mounds are located in the fork be-
tween Door Creek and its eastern branch, on the Roth farm, in
the NW. 14 of Section 32 of Cottage Grove Township. There
are three mounds on this farm, a panther type effigy on the
western part of the place and two linear mounds on the other
side of the woods northeast of the former. They are about one-
fourth mile apart.
The effigy mound has a body 63 feet long, its projecting head
and neck being 12 feet in length. Its direction is a few degrees
north of west. Its tapering tail is 63 feet long and is directed
toward the southeast. For a distance of 25 feet from the body
its width is 12 feet. From this point it tapers gradually toward
its extremity. Its height is 6 inches. The legs are not as high
as the body which is from 2 to 3 feet high. This mound is on a
small hill in a pasture field, a few rods from the farm fence and
about an equal distance from the unoccupied farm buildings.
The larger of the two linear earthworks is 350 feet long, 17 feet
wide and 3 feet high, except the last 75 feet of its length, which
is only from 6 inches to 12 inches high. Its northern extremity
is 100 feet from the north line of the farm and extends 30 de
grees west of south towards Door Creek.
The other mound is 215 feet long, from 8 to 10 feet wide and
2 feet high. Its direction is northeast and southwest. If this
mound were continued for a length of 135 feet it would reach
the other linear. It crosses the north line 95 feet from a per-
pendicular on the north line of the other mound. Its northern
extremity is obliterated in the adjoining field.

PANTHER EFFIGY IN ROTH MOUND
Fig". 1
The Lake Kegonsa Region. 1&9
These linears are on the northern edge of a thickly wooded
grove extending nearly down to the bed of the creek and south-
ward to the knoll upon which the effigy mound is located.
A pond, about an acre in extent, lying northeast of the effigy
and southeast of the linears, was supplied by springs and in wet
weather was augmented by surface drainage. Often the water
in this pond may have been 10 or 12 feet deep but hardly ever
overflowed and never dried up. Its banks were high and steep
except small portions of its east and west shores.
At one point beneath the highest bank on the northwest shore,
there was a visible seepage. In order to add the area occupied
by this pond to the productive surface of the farm a ditch was
dug from the lowest bank west to the flats, which permanently
lowered the water several feet but did not accomplish the desired
purpose. So the earth at the point of seepage was removed dis-
closing an opening in the rocks forming an underground outlet
through which the water had been oozing. Upon further open-
ing up this outlet, the pond was completely drained leaving a
small stream which continues to empty itself into the rocky
caverns underneath the hill.
When visited in the summer of 1924, ten years after the
survey of the mounds, a heavy crop of corn was growing on the
area formerly occupied by the pond. The large effi-gy mound in
the adjoining field had also succumbed to the change and could
not be found.
7. Meyers Group. The land between the low marshes along
Door Creek and its western branch, as they unite at the upper
end of what was the old lake, forms a kind of uneven peninsular
plateau from 10 to 12 feet high and containing several acres of
cultivated land. On it are the remains of a large group of
mounds. These now indistinct remains of early aboriginal con-
struction can be identified not so much by their difference in
elevation as by the difference in the character of the soil from
that surrounding their location. The only entire part of a
mound now remaining is the extremity of a linear earthwork,
at the northwest corner between the fence and the rim of the
plateau. This is about 10 feet in length. The remainder of this
mound is traceable for a distance of about 15 feet. Beyond it is
a much defaced oval or circular mound. All of the other
mounds of this once fine group appear to have been linear
190 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
mounds. There were four of these. The most southerly of
these must have been of very large size.
In the northern part of this group are found flint chips and
other flint refuse which indicate the former presence of an
Indian stone implement workshop. These are much scattered
by the cultivation of the land.
These mounds are in the NW. 14 oi Section 32, Cottage Grove
Township.

section as the preceding group. It is in the northwest corner of
the Hanson farm, on a rough bush overgrown plateau at a dis-
tance of a few rods from the marsh through which, a short dis-
tance to the east, flows the branch of Door Creek.
The north end of the dumbbell shaped mound is 34 feet from
the line of the Myers farm and about 15 rods south of the north-
west corner of the Hanson farm. It is 88 feet in length. The

two circular extremities of this mound are each about 20 feet
in diameter and about 4^ feet high. The connecting linear
portion of this mound is 48 feet long, 13 feet wide and 3V£ feet
high. On its southern end is a stump of a white oak which is
11 inches in diameter.
At a distance of 105 feet from the southern end of this mound,
in a direction east of south, lies the turtle effigy. Its body is 60
and its tapering tail 50 feet in length. The latter appears to
have been once a few feet longer. The distance across the body
at the rear limbs is 28 feet and across the body at the front limbs
40 feet. The body at its middle is 13 feet wide. The body is
from 3V2 to 4% feet high. A white oak tree at the junction of
the right fore limb is 2% feet in diameter.

9. Lee Group. These mounds are situated on the south bank
of Door Creek about at the point where it changes its direction
of flow to the west, in the SE. V4 of Section 6, Pleasant Springs
Township. The creek bank is high and one of the mounds can
be plainly seen from the McFarland road lying to the north of
the group.
192 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
The most westerly mound of the group, of an irregular oval
form, is either an unfinished or a mutilated earthwork. Its
length is 30 feet and its width 22 feet. Its height is 4 feet.
At a distance of 215 feet east of this mound is the western
extremity of a linear mound 220 feet long, 16 feet wide and
from 2 to 3 feet high. Its general direction is a few degrees
south of east. Forty feet beyond this mound is a curious effigy
mound. Its body is 55 feet long and 21 feet wide at its middle:
Its curved neck is 30 feet long and from 11 to 12 feet wide.
This mound resembles in form a similar effigy found in 1875 by
Mr. Henry Lapham at Upper Nemahbin Lake, Waukesha county,
and by him designated as the "Swan". No other examples of
this effigy type have been found in Wisconsin.
Near this mound and almost touching its back is a linear
mound now almost obliterated by cultivation of the land. Other
mounds located here years ago have been destroyed.
10. Brictson Bros. Group. Pleasant Springs ridge extends
from the eastern part of the Brictson farm yi a northeasterly
direction into the southeast corner of Section 6. The mounds
are located on the southwestern slope of this ridge, in the NW.
]4 of Section 8, Pleasant Springs Township. The group con-
sists of two linears and a bird effigy.
The bird effigy has a win gsp read of 142 feet, each wing being
71 feet long and about 18 feet wide. The head is 17 feet long
and 11 feet wide. The body is about 35 feet long and from B%
to 4 feet wide. The north wing is 2% feet high while the south
wing slopes gradually to a level with the surrounding surface
of the ground. This is probably due to the wash of the slope.
The direction of the head of this bird effigy is toward the east.
Thirty feet northwest of the northern wing of this effigy is the
southern end of a linear mound running north and south. This
short mound is 60 feet long, 17 feet wide and 2y2 feet high. Its
direction is north and south. At a distance of 145 feet north
of this mound is the southern end of another linear mound.
Its length is 95 feet, its width 27 feet and its height from 5 to
6 feet. Its direction is the same as that of the other linear.

the terminus of a range of hills running northwest and south-
east through the northern part of the section. It is on the rim
of East Creek valley, in a bush overgrown pasture, west of the
buildings on the northwest corner of the Holscher farm.
The most southerly mound is circular in form, 30 feet in
diameter and 3 feet high. It is 33 feet east of the line fence be-
tween the Holscher and Harley Patterson farms. A distance of
150 feet north of this mound is the eastern extremity of a linear
mound 16 feet of the end of which is on the Holscher farm and
the remainder, 72 feet, in a field on the Patterson farm. This
mound is 20 feet wide and from 3 to 4 feet high. Sixty-eight
feet north of this mound is a circular mound 57 feet in diameter
and 4V2 feet high. It is thickly overgrown with bushes. It has
been dug into by relic hunters. It lies 30 feet east of the line
fence. At a distance of 185 feet northeast of this mound is a
third circular mound with diameters of 38 and 33 feet, and 3
feet high. It is 47 feet east of the line fence.
12. Mount Pleasant Group. This mound group is situated on
the western edge of East Creek Valley, on the western slope of
a high wooded hill called Mount Pleasant, the greater part of
which is on the H. Patterson farm. The mounds, however, are
on the adjoining P. Brictson farm, in the NW. V4 of Section 8,
of Pleasant Springs Township. Being in a wooded pasture they
are well preserved.
A linear mound is located some distance north of the fence
forming the south boundary of this pasture. Its direction is east
of north. It is 130 feet long, 15 feet wide and 2 feet high.
Eighty-eight feet north of this mound (measured along the west
fence of the farm) is another linear mound now 73 feet long, 17
feet wide and 2 feet high. It at one time extended into a culti-
vated field on the west side of the fence. Its direction is 15 de-
grees east of north.
The next mound is also linear in form. Its southern end is
28 feet east of the northern end of the preceding mound, and
166 feet east of the fence. It is 147 feet long, 15 feet wide and 3
feet high. Its direction is 20 feet east of north. Directly north
of the northern end of this mound is an effigy mound the direc-
tion of which is east and west, its head toward the east. Its
body is 40 feet long, its curved tail 30 feet and its head 10 feet.
The body is from 3 to 4 feet high. Its fore leg is much longer
than its hind limb. This mound is much worn away along its
194 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
edges. Mr. Patterson states that it has been dug into and
human bones found.
Seventy years ago the Winnebago camped on the nearby fiats.
13. North Williams Group. In the woods in the northeast
corner of the north Williams place on a high hill, where the road
running west to Sunnyside Beach, Lake Kegonsa, meets the
Stoughton road on the section line, there is an old gravel pit.
While eating its way into the hill this pit has removed the ends
of two mounds. These are part of a group of six mounds on the
hill crest. All are linear in form and extend in a general east
and west direction. None are parallel. They are quite closely
grouped. *
The most northerly mound begins at the edge of the pit and
extends to the west for 178 feet. It is 16 feet wide and from one
to 3 feet high. This is one of the mounds which has been
shortened by the extension of the pit. Fifty-five feet south of
its eastern extremity is another large mound. It has also been
shortened by the pit. From the edge of the pit it extends in a
direction a little south of west for a distance of 230 feet. This
mound is 18 feet wide and from 2 to 3 feet high. A public road
used in pioneer days cuts diagonally across its center. A third
mound is 103 feet in length. Its eastern end is 108 feet south-
west of the eastern end of the second mound. It is 20 feet wide
and from 2 to 3 feet high. Its direction is a little south of east.
The head of a fourth mound lies 75 feet south of the head of the
foregoing mound. This mound is 60 feet long, 18 feet wide and
2 feet high. Its direction is northeast and southwest. Seventeen
feet west of the second mound of the group is a fifth linear
mound 98 feet long, 18 feet wide and about 3% feet high. Its
direction is a little north of west. The sixth linear lies partly
on the south side of and partly in the rear of the first mound of
the group. It is 218 feet long, 19 feet wide at its western and
12 feet wide at its eastern end. A continuation of the line of the
first mound would intersect this mound at a distance of 115 from
its western end.
This group is in the tSE. % of Section 18, Pleasant Springs
Township.
North Shore of Lake Kegonsa

NORTH WILLIAMS GROUP
Plate 3
The Lake Kegonsa Region. 195
Lake Kegonsa, on the northwest corner of the north Williams
place, are two linear mounds. The longest and most southerly
of these is 225 feet long, 12 feet wide and from 2 to 3% feet
high. At one time it extended across the road on to the P. Lee
farm. There formerly were other mounds in this cultivated
field but no trace of these remains. The western end of this
mound is within 47 feet of a farm building.
The second mound lies 44 feet north of the roadside end of the
first. It is 125 feet long, 16 feet wide and 3 feet high, and its
direction a little north of east. A portion of its western ex-
tremity is destroyed by the road.
A marshy tract separates this site from the Sunnyside Beach
cottages on the lake bank. Some indications of a former Indian
camp site are found on the cultivated fields of the Lee farm on
the edge of this marsh.
15. Williams North Group No. 2. Nearly half-a-mile south
of the preceding group, along the line between the Williams and
P. Lee farms, is a single mound, the only remaining earthwork
of what appears to have been a quiet extensive mound group
which was spread over the adjoining fields. This is on elevated
land overlooking Lake Kegonsa.
This single mound is a linear extending for 200 feet nearly
east and west along a fence which separates a cultivated field
from a wooded pasture. It is 8 feet wide and 3 feet high at its
western end and tapers to less than half its width as it passes in-
to the cultivated field to the south.
16. Williams South Group No. 1. This group is on the
northern border of Section 19 of Pleasant Springs Township, in
the northwest part of the Williams south farm. It is in a
pasture field elevated about 35 feet above the waters of Lake
Kegonsa.
The most northerly mound of this group is an oblong mound
50 feet long, 27 feet wide and from 2 to 3 feet high. It has
been dug into and more or less damaged. This mound lies 250
feet west of the edge of the top of the lake bank. At a distance
of 195 feet southwest of this mound, its limbs on the very edge of
the lake bank, is an effigy of the mink or weasel type. Its body
is 94 feet long and 18 feet wide at its middle. Its erect neck and
head are 30 feet long and from 15 to 17 feet wide. Its tapering
tail is 116 feet long. The body of this mound is from 2 to 3
196

feet high and the tail from % to 2 feet high. The fore limb is
19 and the rear limb 11 feet long. Sixty-five feet south of the
effigy is a circular mound 20 feet in diameter and between 3 and
4 feet high. This mound has been excavated and human bones
found. It lies within 9 feet of the edge of the bank.

Measurements of this and the following mound group were
also taken on September 17, 1922 by C. E. Brown with the as-
sistance of members of the Nakoma (Madison) troop of Boy
Scouts.
Sugar Bush Point Village
Several hundred feet south of the circular mound in this
group, among the trees of an old sugar bush, is a plot of Indian
garden beds. The beds are still quite distinct, Mr. Brown
counted twenty-six of these running nearly north and south.
Most of these probably extended into the cultivated field which
adjoins this grove on the north. These beds are from 3 to 3%
feet wide and the paths between them iy2 feet wide. A group
of provision cache pits lie between the beds and another group
of mounds to the east near the Williams farm house. In the
field north of the garden beds was the site of an early Indian
village. Indians continued to camp here after the father of Mr.
John "Williams, the present owner of the farm, came here in 1860.
A cedar tree in the field marks the site of the wigwam of the
then chief of this Winnebago band. The point upon which these
evidences are situated has long been known as Sugar Bush
Point. Here the Winnebago made considerable quantities of
maple sugar. Only a few of the old trees remain.

17. Williams South Group No. 2. This group consists of an
effigy and six circular and oval mounds located in a thin grove
of trees. The first of these, an oval mound 18 by 22 feet in
diameter, is located a few rods west of the Williams house, on
the highest part of the hill. A large tree stands on its middle.
Ten feet west of it is another mound, 20 by 26 feet in diameter
and 4 to 5 feet high. Twenty feet west and a little north of it is
a third mound. This is 21 feet in diameter and 4 to 5 feet high.
A fourth mound lies 39 feet south east of this mound. It is 30
feet in diameter and 5 feet high at its middle. Twelve feet west
of this mound is the head of the effigy mound. Its length is 110
feet and its height from 2 to 5 feet. It faces east with its back
EFFIGY IN WILLIAMS SOUTH GROUP NO. 2

to the south. It has a prominent head, short limbs (8 and 12
feet in length) and a short tail, 18 feet long. Compared with
many other quadruped effigies it is a rather crude representa-
tion.
About 5 feet west of this effigy, south of the fence, is a
circular mound 14 feet in diameter and from 3 to 4 feet high.
A few feet west of it is another 16 feet in diameter and of the
same height as the other. Several of these mounds have been
dug into human bones being found in one. These mounds are in
Fractional Section 19, Pleasant Springs Township. They are a
few hundred feet southeast of Group No. 1.
A short distance east of the Williams farm house a slough ex-
tends inland (northward) from the shore of Lake Kegonsa for a
considerable distance. In the cultivated lands on both banks
of this slough are evidences of a former village site. Many flint
points and some grooved axes, celts and other heavier stone im-

plements have been collected here in years past. This site is a
part of the village site just described.
West Shore of Lake Kegonsa
18. T. Olson Group. This group is in the southern part of
Section 14 of Dunn Township, on the Tollef Olson farm. It is
on the eastern edge of a high ridge running a little west of north
from Lake Kegonsa. It overlooks the flat neck of land separat-
ing the bend of the Yahara river and lake.
There are six mounds in this rather scattered group, three be-
ing round, two linear and one a semi-circular earthwork. They
are in a pasture between a cultivated field on the Colladay farm
and the woods along the south fence of the farm. The semi-
circular mound is on the Colladay place. It is 14 feet in length.
About two rods to the east of it is a round mound 20 feet in
diameter and Sy2 to 4 feet high. About a rod northwest of this
mound is a large mound 33 feet in diameter and 5 feet high.
All have recently been dug into by relic hunters. Mr. Orvold
states that only human bones were found.
About 90 feet west of the first circular mound is a linear
mound. Its present length is 50 feet and its direction 35 degrees
west of north. Its height is from six inches to one foot. It was
originally longer. The second linear is directly in line with and
a short distance from the other. It is 72 feet long, 16 feet wide
and 2 feet high.
Other mounds of this group, on the Colladay place, have
been destroyed.
19. Orvold-Colladay Group. These mounds are on a high
tableland above the west shore of Lake Kegonsa, in the northern
part of Fractional Section 23, Dunn Township, and the southern
part of Section 14 of the same township, on the Orvold and
Colladay farms.
The most northerly mound of this group is a circular mound
40 by 45 feet in size and 5 feet high. Twenty feet southwest of
this mound is another 43 by 48 feet in size and 5 feet high, and
50 feet southwest of it is a low mound nearly obliterated by cuti-
vation. These mounds are directly north of Colladays Point.
At a distance of 440 feet southwest of the west mound of this
cluster is a circular mound 40 feet in diameter and 3 feet high.
Southwest of this, a distance of 45 feet, is a circular mound 45

in diameter and 2 to 3 feet high. Thirty -one feet southwest of
the last is one measuring 55 feet in diameter and 3 feet high.
About 50 feet west of this is another 40 feet in diameter and
from 2 to 3 feet high.
The remaining mounds are plainly indicated in the field but
are now about on a level with the ground. One of these is 150
southwest of the mound last described. It is oval in form. At
a distance of 125 feet southwest of it is an oval mound nearly
levelled.
A cluster of three much levelled and defaced mounds lies a
short distance south of the fifth and sixth mounds of the group.
Other mounds have been destroyed.
The Winnebago had a camp on the northwest shore of the
lake.
20. W. E. Colladay Group. This group is in Fractional Sec-
tion 23 of Dunn Township. It may have been formerly a part
of the group just described. These mounds lie south and east
of the road which winds along the edge of the cultivated plateau,
on a steep wooded slope terminating on the high and abrupt
shoreline of the lake. The nearest mounds are about 15 rods
from the water.
The most northerly mound begins about 15 feet south of the
road and runs south for a distance of 150 feet. It is 11 feet
wide and iy2 feet high. Fifty feet west of and parallel with it
is another mound 91 feet long, 18 feet wide and from 1 to 2 feet
high. It may once have extended further north.
At a distance of 150 feet nearly southwest of the first mound
is an animal effigy which has been much defaced by burrowing
animals. Twenty-eight feet southeast of it is a circular mound
20 feet in diameter and from 2 to 2y2 feet high. About 12 feet
south of this is a linear extending south for 190 feet, 15 feet
wide and from 1 to 2 feet high. West of this is a linear 210 feet
long, 12 feet wide and from six inches to one foot high. Its
direction is 5 degrees west of north. Forty feet west of it is
another linear 225 feet in length, 12 feet wide and 2 feet high.
West of this and parallel to it is a linear 250 feet long, 12 feet
wide and from 1 to 3 feet high.
About 30 feet from the north end of this last mound is the
south end of a linear 35 feet long, 10 feet wide and from 2 to 3
feet high. Its direction is a few degrees west of north. It is
directly west of the effigy mound and is a few feet from the
200 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
north and south road. It has the appearance of having once ex-
tended farther to the north.
21. C. M. Colladay Group No. 1. South of the previous
group, on a rocky ridge on the C. M. Colladay farm, on which
are the farm buildings, are two mounds. One is a bird effigy
and the other a club-shaped linear earthwork interrupted by a
circular mound at a distance of 66 feet from its eastern end.
These lie north of the tobacco shed.
The bird effigy has a body 65 feet long and 26 feet wide ex-
cept a few feet from its end where its width is 20 feet, It is
from 3 to 5 feet high. Its wingspread is 305 feet. One wing,
pointed northwest, is 150 feet long and 16 feet wide where it
joins the body. At two-thirds of the distance to its end its width
is 8 feet. The other wing is 155 feet in length and its direction
southeast. Its width where it joins the body is 16 feet, At a
distance of 90 feet from the body this wing is cut by a road
which turns down the ridge. These wings are from iy2 to 3
feet high.
The direction of the curiously shaped linear mound is east
and west. Its eastern end is 45 feet from the west wing of the
bird. Its total length is 269 feet. The circular mound at a dis-
tance of 66 feet from its end is 28 by 33 feet in diameter and ol/>
feet high. The linear portion of this mound tapers gradually
from 16 feet at its eastern to 10 feet at its western end. It is
from 2 to 3 feet high.
This and the following mound group are in Fractional Section
23, Dunn Township.
In the adjoining lake shore fields of the W. E. Colladay place
a grooved stone axe and some flint implements were found.
This land was bearing crops on June 25, 1921, when Mr. C. E.
Brown visited the site and could not be examined for other
traces of a camp site.
22. C. M. Colladay Group No. 2. This group of five mounds
is arranged in a line in a direction a little south of east. The
mounds are among the row of summer resort cottages on the
south shore of Colladays Bay, the several mounds being from 50
to 100 feet from the water's edge.
The Colladay residence and dining hall has been erected on
the mound at the western end of the line. This large oval
mound has diameters of 50 and 70 feet. Its original shape has

been disturbed by the building upon it. It is on ground sloping
toward the lake shore about 100 feet distant.
One hundred and fifteen feet east of this mound is the first of
three cottages between which are • two mounds. The first of
these, between the first and the second cottage, is oval in form,
having diameters of 37 and 55 feet. It is from 2 to 3 feet high.
The second mound, between the second and third cottages, has
diameters of 14 and 26 feet. It is of the same height as the
other.

feet in diameter and 5 feet high, and that at its eastern end 23
and 26 feet in diameter and 4 feet high. Twenty-nine feet
beyond this mound is a circular mound 26 feet in diameter and
Sy2 feet high. This mound is 60 feet from the lake bank.
Mr. C. M. Colladay informed Mr. C. E. Brown that when his
father settled here, some sixty years ago, he dug his root cellar
in the mound upon which the Colladay residence and dining hall
now stands. In this digging three Indian skeletons and a gun
and stone pipe were unearthed.
23. Colladays Point Group. A group of four mounds is locat-
ed on the western slope of the hill that forms the eastern part
of Colladays Point. This point is also located in the southern
part of Fractional Section 23, Dunn Township.
The first mound of this group, a linear, lies 600 feet east of
the last mound of the preceding group. This mound is 170 feet
2U2 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
long, 15 feet wide and from six inches to 2 feet high. Its direc-
tion is east and west. Two bur oak trees, nearly 3 feet in
diameter, stand on the eastern end of this mound.
At a distance of 265 feet east of this mound is another linear
which is 200 feet long, from 20 to 28 feet wide, and from six
inches to iy2 feet high. Its direction is northwest and south-
east. Growing on it are several large oak trees. On each side
the western extremity of this mound is a circular mound. The
one on its north side is 18 feet distant. Its diameter is 6 feet
and its height 4 feet. The circular mound on its south side is 15
feet distant. This mound is 30 feet in diameter and 4 feet high.
In a visit made to this group, on June 24, 1921, Mr. C. E.
Brown found on the south side of this last linear mound, in ad-
dition to the circular mound mentioned, a line of six other
circular mounds, these being from 21 to 28 feet in diameter and
separated from each other and the eastern end of the linear by
distances of from 4 to 9 feet. Near these were also an oval
mound having diameters of 45 and 24 feet, and a tapering linear
111 feet in length and from 24 to 18 feet wide. These mounds
were from iy2 to 3 feet high. This part of the point was then
covered with a thick growth of raspberry bushes and brush.
Some of the mounds on this point are reported to have been
excavated. They contained the scattered bones of two or three
burials.
When the land on this point is placed under cultivation evi-
dences of a former village site are very likely to be found.
24. Barber Group. These mounds are located on the Geo.
Barber farm, on the eastern end of a high ridge, in Section 26,
Dunn Township. The group consists of ten mounds, the re-
mains of a once much larger group. They are in the farm fields
and a few years more of cultivation will obliterate those which
remain.
The three mounds nearest the lake road lie directly north of
the Barber premises. About 40 feet north of the Barber farm-
house is an oval mound 36 by 40 feet in size, and 2 feet high.
Fifty feet west of it is the end of a linear mound running 250
feet west. It is 20 feet wide and one foot high. Forty feet
north of the middle of this mound is another oval mound 30 by
40 feet in size and one foot high.
The other seven mounds are in an adjoining meadow to the
west. The most southerly of these is a linear mound beginning

at a fence 12 feet north of the west end of the other linear
mound and running west for a distance of 250 feet. It is 20 feet
wide and from six inches to one foot high. Fifty feet north of
this mound is a circular mound 22 feet in diameter and one foot
high. North of this mound are two low, oval mounds 20 by 23
feet in diameter. Thirty feet west of the most westerly of these
is the eastern end of a linear mound 63 feet long. Its direction
is northwest. Twenty-one feet beyond and in a direct line with
it is an oblong mound 24 by 17 feet in size and six inches high.
A circular mound lies a short distance north of the linear
mound. It is 30 feet in diameter and 2 feet high.
Some of the Barber mounds were excavated years ago, it is
reported, by some University of Wisconsin students. In one a
stone pipe and gun were found accompanying a burial. Many
flint points and some heavier stone implements have been
gathered from this farm which was the former site of an Indian
village. A creek flows through the southern part of the farm
and into Lake Kegonsa.
South Shore of Lake Kegonsa
Rock Elm Park Camp Site. Indications of a former Indian
camp site are found on the Abner B. Halvorson place on the
south shore of Lake Kegonsa, in the S. E. % of Section 26,
Dunn Township. In a cultivated field on the south side of the
road, elevated above a small creek, which here flows into the
lake, numerous flint implements and a few stone axes, celts and
hammerstones have been found. Flint chips and hearth stones
are scattered over the field. This site was located by Mr. C. E.
Brown, June 25, 1921.
25. Ole Quam Mounds. A small group of mounds was for-
merly located on the Ole Quam farm, on the south shore of Lake
Kegonsa, in Fractional Section 25, Dunn Township. Mr.
Quam informed the writer that in his boyhood there were two or
three circular mounds on his farm. No trace of these remains.
East Shore of Lake Kegonsa
26. Atkinson Mound. Mr. C. E. Brown found (June 25,
1921) a solitary mound located between the L. D. Atkinson and
McCarthy cottages, on the east shore of the lake. It is a short
distance south of the Havenswood hotel. This tapering linear
204 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
earthwork is 81 feet long and 24 feet wide across its widest part.
Its highest part is only about 1% feet high. Its head is directed
toward the lake and is about 6 feet from the shore. From this
point the mound, tapering gradually, extends back on to the
vacant lot between the two cottages. The lake shore path passes
over it. Being the only known mound on this shore of the lake
it should be preserved. Some years ago three Indian burials were
disturbed in digging at the point where the summer resort gro-
cery store is now located. No articles of interest are said to have
been found with these.
Outlet Village Site. An Indian village site was located on the
old Stondahl farm, situated south of the outlet of Lake Kegonsa,
in Section 20, Pleasant Springs Township. The lake, Yahara
river and marshes in this vicinity made this a good hunting and
fishing ground and food for the support of a village was thus
abundant. In the State Historical museum at Madison there are
a hammerstone, two stone celts, a grooved stone axe, quartzite
knife and a large number of flint points collected here by John
B. Deming, a former resident of Madison. Numerous other im-
plements were collected here by others.
A Winnebago village was located here in the thirties. The
trading cabin of Abel Easdall, an early Indian trader,
was located here, at a distance of about one-half mile south of
the lake outlet. "He was married to an Indian woman. He
packed his goods on several Indian ponies and visited the In-
dian camps, including those at Madison, trading goods which
he purchased at Galena, for skins and furs. His trading adven-
tures around the Four Lakes commenced as early as 1831."
Louis Armel and Joe Pelkie also traded with the Lake Kegonsa
Indians.
Lead in lumps weighing from three to fifteen pounds is
reported to have been frequently found on the site of this vil-
lage. This was probably brought to this locality from the In-
dian lead diggings in the western part of Dane County, or from
Green County to the south. A rude smelting furnace found
here was built of stones and clay.
The Winnebago are reported to have camped also at the south-
east corner of the lake.
The Lake Kegonsa Reg-ion. 205
Hook Lake
Hook Lake Mounds. This small lake, somewhat in the form
of a crookneck summer squash, is located about two miles west
of the southern shore of Lake Kegonsa. Its length is about 1%
miles and its greatest width nearly one mile. It covers parts of
Sections 28, 29, 32 and 33 of Dunn Township.
Mr. Sproul, whose farm is on the north shore, informed the
writer that in his boyhood there were several small mounds on
Timber Island in this lake. These could not be found when the
writer visited the island in the spring of 1915. They may have
been destroyed by cultivation of the land.
There are indications of a former Indian camp site on the
east shore of this lake. Here numbers of flint points and other
implements have been found.
SUMMARY
With the appearance in print of the present report on Lake
Kegonsa monographs of the Indian archeology and history of
each of the five Madison Lakes, Mendota, Monona, Wingra, Wau-
besa and Kegonsa, will have been made accessible to the stu-
dent of Wisconsin archeological history and to the general pub-
lic. The first of these monographs, that on Lake Mendota,
made its appearance in 1912, the second, that on Lake Waubesa,
in 1914, the third, on Lake Wingra, in 1915, and that on Lake
Monona, in 1922. They have done much to create an intelli-
gent public interest in the educational value of these mounds
and other landmarks of the earliest human occupants of Dane
County. Copies of all of these reports may be obtained through
the Madison office of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society.
The total number of Indian mound groups located in the
Lake Kegonsa region is twenty-six. Of the 116 earthworks in-
cluded in these groups 51 are conical or circular and oval
mounds, 45 are linear or wall-shaped in form, 11 are effigies
and 4 are curious or unusual forms. These latter include two
dumbbell, a crescent and a club-shaped earthwork.
The largest mound groups in the region are the Orvold-Col-
laday group, which consists of 12 mounds; the Colladay Point
group, of 11 mounds; the Barber group, of 10 mounds; and the
206 WISCONSIN ARCHEOLOGIST. Vol. 4, No. 4
W. E. Colladay group, of 9 mounds, all on the west shore of the
lake. Most of the other groups contain from 3 to 6 mounds.
Of the conical or round mounds the largest are in the Orvold
Colladay group. Three of these mounds measure 40, 40 and
45 feet in diameter.
Of the linear mounds the largest number, 7, are in the W. K.
Colladay group. The North Williams group is made up en-
tirely of linear mounds, 6 in number. ■ From one to 7 linear
mounds occur in all but seven of the twenty-six mound groups
described in this report. This would appear to indicate that
earthworks of this character possessed some special significance
to the early Indian inhabitants of this region. Of the 45 linear
mounds 24 are from 103 to 350 feet in length. Thirteen are
over 200 feet long. All but 2 are of the straight, parallel-
sided form. The largest linear, 350 feet long, is in the Roth
group.
Eleven animal-shaped or effigy mounds are found in the Lake
Kegon-sa region. These occur in ten different groups. The
Moore group is the only one in which two effigies are found in a
single group. Of these effigy mounds 4 represent birds of three
different types. The goose effigy in the Moore group is a rare
form found by archaeologists in only a few other locations
about the five Madison lakes. The largest bird effigy, in the
C. M. Colladay group, has a wdngspread of 305 feet. Six other
effigies represent quadrupeds, the panther or water spirit and
weasel types being among these. Three other quadruped effi-
gies cannot be certainly identified. A single turtle effigy occurs.
This is in the Hanson group.
The very interesting Indian mound groups of the Lake Ke-
gonsa region have not received the attention wrhich they deserve
from either the owners of the farm lands on which they occur
or from the numerous summer residents of the cottage resorts
on the lake shores. It is to be hoped that the appearance of
this report will have the effect of creating a permanent local
interest in the aboriginal history of the region and in the sacred
monuments of the early native occupants of its shores. It is
highly desirable that some of the more accessible of these mound
groups, as those on Colladays Point and farm lands, and on the
Williams farm on Sugar Bush. Point, should be protected and
marked with descriptive tablets by their present owners or oth-
ers. They are the most valuable historical monuments of the
Lake Kegonsa region.
