He wrote an article published in in the November and December 1903 issue of The American Antiquarian. This is an except from the article: "massive walls have been found, but they are covered with a mass of deposited earth, sixty feet in thickness. And mingled in this earth are human skeletons, the tusks of elephants, etc., distributed in a way which indicates that the overflow of water and mud was sudden, giving no time for escape."•The “elephant” bones he discovered were really those the the wholly mammoth. Mammoth remains were unearthed near Mexico City in 2020. •Mammoth remains found in this part of the world are consistent with major climate changes at the end of the last ice age.
