Mount Joliet
"A few miles from Joliet, we passed an object, to me of great interest--it was an Indian mound. This was a perfect gem--as regular, as smooth, and as green as if cut out of an emerald--being an oblong of fifty rods high, and seventy or eighty long. Although centuries have passed since it was formed, it is as perfect in shape, as if just moulded. A beautiful, solitary thing it is, telling of nations and events now lost in the mists of time."
