Atwater, a 19th-century anthropologist, believed that Ohio's Indian burial mounds were constructed by a superior race of mound-builders. He was a supporter of publicly funded education and was the first historian of his state.
This collection consists of letters of Caleb Atwater to Rejoice Newton, Isaiah Thomas, and the American Antiquarian Society. The correspondence covers the period 1818 to 1821 and concerns Atwater's research on Indian antiquities in Ohio until a dispute over the terms of his agreement with the society induced his withdrawal. With the correspondence are original maps and plans of the country investigated, a catalogue of relics which Atwater presented the society, various notes and memoranda, and a collection of extracts of Atwater's letters in the hand of Isaiah Thomas. The first volume of American Antiquarian Society Transactions, 1820, contains an exhaustive report illustrated by maps and drawings of the result of Atwater's explorations. Some of the original drawings and engravings are found in this collection.
