Emblematic Mounds And Animal Effigies is a book written by Stephen Denison Peet and first published in 1890. The book is a comprehensive study of the ancient mounds and effigies of North America, particularly those found in the Midwest region of the United States.

The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of the mounds and effigies, as well as maps and diagrams to help the reader understand their location and layout.
