Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of the Southern History Association, Vol. 3 It cannot be determined from exterior inspection whether a given mound is mortuary or not. The largest mound at Apopka* contained nothing whatever, and was built for pur poses other than entombment, possibly for domiciliary or ceremonial uses. It will be remembered that Florida is on the whole very flat, and even a slight elevation would prove useful as a lookout station or for signaling purposes by means of fire. From the summit of this great mound not only was a wide stretch of the surrounding country brought into view, but a great portion of the lake was rendered vis ible.
