  About 1,000 years ago, Native Americans built hundreds of earthen platform mounds, plazas, residential areas, and other types of monuments in the vicinity of present-day St Louis. This sprawling complex known as Cahokia, was the cultural, ceremonial, and trade centre north of Mexico for centuries. This book covers the accomplishments of Cahokia.
