“One Snake at a Time”

 

They all say:

 A “Good” Yankee stone wall is/was laid down “one over two” 

and “two over one,” "one block of stone at a time.”




I’ll say:

 "Sometimes it seems as if the Indigenous stonework

 which is often misidentified as a "Yankee Farmer stone wall"

is/was laid down “One snake at a time,” 

a stone head followed by body and tail, one stone at a time."





  I'll say:

  Indigenous “Stone Walls” sometimes look right at you as you enter an enclosure, have other effigies incorporated into the bodies composed of smaller snake effigies, and can often sometimes still be found snaking across the landscape, another variation yet to be found…
