The text delves into the origins, meanings, and migrations of the Swastika symbol, exploring its significance across various cultures worldwide. Wilson seeks to compile existing knowledge on the subject to address a gap in English and American literature regarding this ancient symbol. The opening of the work begins with a transcriber’s note clarifying the format of the document and followed by Wilson's preface. In it, he reflects on a conversation with a prehistoric archaeology expert, which sparked his quest to gather information on the Swastika in America. Wilson expresses a desire to compile and present the knowledge he gleaned through his research, establishing that the Swastika has been an emblem transcending cultures and time, often regarded as a symbol of good fortune and spirituality. He emphasizes that the symbol's origins are elusive and that it likely spread throughout the world, adopting various meanings in the process. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
