Peet describes the different types of effigies, including those made from stone, wood, and clay. He also discusses the symbolism and meaning behind the effigies, as well as their historical and cultural significance.Overall, Emblematic Mounds And Animal Effigies is an important contribution to the study of Native American cultures in the United States.
