Stone Walls and Large Ancient City Described Along the Ohio River in West Virginia

    Stone Walls and Large Ancient City Described Along the Ohio River in West Virginia

Stonewall or fort above Pratt, West Virginia, formerly known as Clifton.

   Ten miles below the mouth of Armstrong Creek, on the Kanawha river, is another wall similar to the one in Fayette county described by Captain Wm. N. Page.  It is on a high mountain, facing the river, just above the mouth of Paint Creek.  The characteristics of the two works are so nearly alike that the foregoing description of the one at Loup creek renders unnecessary any description of the one at Paint creek, except to say that it is erected on a smaller scale.

At the base of the Paint creek mountain, too, is an extensive burying ground, similar to the one described.  It is just where the village of Pratt (formerly Clifton), now stands; and so numerous are the remains that excavations for any purpose are almost sure to unearth skeletons, as well as stone, bone, earthenware, copper implements, and relics. [The burial are not marked by mounds]

At Sattes, opposite the mouth of the Coal River, there have been found evidences of a very large city, much larger than Charleston.  There are also carved stones in different places on the river.  Earthworks or fortifications are also found several places both on the Kanawha and on the Coal river

FIND BONES OF GIANT IN CAVE
     The discovery of a skull, jawbones and femur of giant proportions by D. L. Gilliland and F. M. Puntenney of Moonpark, in a cavern in one of the canyons of the great Pisgah Grando Rancho just over the Ventura county line, lends color to the belief, long held by residents of that scenic section, that the burying place of a prehistoric race of giants has been found. The find was made under peculiar circumstances, Messrs Gilliland and Puntenney who are officers of the law at Moonpark, were searching for two Mexicans, said to have been connected with robberies at Moonpark and Santa Susana. After scouring the various canyons they came upon a wide cavern deep in the brush and hidden from view by a rugged rampart of rocks.
Seeing that there was an opening in which the fugitives might take shelter, Mr. Puntenney pulled aside the underbrush and peered into the depths. Within he saw the grinning skull of huge size and the great femur, that must have formed the thigh bone of a mighty giant.
