[Footnote 44:  I saw the body of this woman in the tree.  It was undoubtedly an exceptional case.  When I came here (Rock Island) the bluffs on the peninsula between Mississippi and Rock River (three miles distant) were thickly studded with Indian grave mounds, showing conclusively that subterranean was the usual mode of burial.  In making roads, streets, and digging foundations, skulls, bones, trinkets, beads, etc., in great numbers, were exhumed, proving that many things (according to the wealth or station of survivors) were deposited in the graves.  In 1836 I witnessed the burial of two chiefs in the manner stated.—­P.  GREGG.]
