Ancient Giant Human Skeleton Handed Over to the Minnesota Historical Society

Burial mound in St. Paul.

Northern Tribune (Cheboygan, Michigan) May 27, 1882
   A St. Paul special reports a remarkable find of the relics of the mound builders in the Red River Valley, the only deposit yet found of this extinct race in that region.  A skull of immense proportions and singular formation has been turned to the historical society for examination.  The skull is a perfect specimen and shows conclusive evidence of a race of giant stature.
