Giant Human Skeleton Discovered on the Shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago

Giant Human Skeleton Discovered on the Shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago

New Ulm Review, September 12, 1900
The skeleton of a giant, who, when he walked the shores of Lake Michigan, stood seven feet and four inches high in his moccasin feet, was discovered in Rogers Park the other day and upon the discovery hinged an afternoon's wonderment. Joseph and Charles Everett, boys who live in Ridge Boulevard near Pratt Avenue, made the find and reported it at the Rogers Park police station. Dr. John Klein, one of the searching party, declared that the skeleton was that of an Indian chief. Further search, among other things, disclosed a copper knife, arrowheads, a quantity of gold and a moccasin. The skeleton was taken in the patrol wagon to the Rogers Park police station. Later it was given to Dr, Klein. The doctor will mount the skeleton and send it to Leipsic University.

Evening Star, July 16, 1898. 
Interesting discoveries in the vicinity of Parkersburg and Cheat Neck West Virginia 
"A remarkable cave has been discovered near Parkersburg, W. Va.
    The entrance will only permit one person going in at a time and after proceeding ten or fifteen feet a large room is encountered, twenty feet square of solid stone. Dates are carved on the walls as far back as 1598. In one corner of the room a stone door, swung on large steel hinges, leads to stone steps, which the explores followed to a room, where many human skeletons were found. By the aid of a rope one can be lowered into another room, twenty feet below the skeleton chamber, where fish can be found by the hundred in a pond, the fish resembling the common perch. Hundreds of stone fish are to be found in the different sections of the cave. These are the people carrying away as relics. The cave is on the farm of B. A. Price. A party from Morgantown W. Va., opened one of a series of mounds in the vicinity of Cheat Neck, W. VA., with interesting results. The mound was partly built of stones, rising in a conical shape and covered with moss and wildflowers. After considerable labor, an entrance was made in the center of the mound, where two skeletons were found in a fair state of preservation both being of gigantic stature and build. When the men were in full life they must have been at least twelve high and possessed of enormous strength, as the size of the bones would indicate. With the exception of the enormous skulls, which were partly crumbled and decayed, the skeletons were in a perfect state of preservation."

Giant Human Race Discovered in South Charleston, West Virginia Mound Complex

The map represents a small section of the vast burial mound complex that was constructed along the Kahawha River at present South Charleston West Virginia. Almost every month that was dug into by the Smithsonian Institute contained a giant human skeleton.

The arrow above on the map points this burial mound that can still be viewed within a cemetery.  The square enclosure that surrounded it is no longer visible.

Bureau of Ethnology, 5th Annual Report, 1883-4

“Below the center of No. 7 (see plate), sunk into the original earth, was a vault about 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. Lying extended on the back in bottom of this, amid the rotten fragments of a bark coffin, was a decayed human skeleton, fully 7 feet long, with head west. No evidence of fire was to be seen, nor were any stone implementsdiscovered, but lying in a circle just above the hips were fifty circular pieces of white perforated shell, each about 1 inch in diameter and an eighth of an inch thick.”

No. 11 is now 35 by 40 feet at the base and  4 feet high. In the center 3 feet below the surface, was a vault 8 feet long and 3 feet wide. In the bottom of this, among the decayed fragments of bark wrappings, lay a skeleton fully seven feet long, extended at full length on the back, head west. Lying in a circle above the hips were fifty-two perforated shell disks about an inch in diameter and one-eighth of an inch thick.

Kanawha County

Mound 19, the one farthest to the east, is 60 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. It was found tocontain a rude vault of angular stones; some of them as much as two men could lift. This had been built on the natural surface and was 8 feet long, 4 wide, and 3 high, but contained only the decaying fragments of a large skeleton and a few fragments of pottery.
