Ancient Giant Human Skeleton of the Mound Builders Discovered Near Cincinnati, Ohio Earthwork
Weekly Journal. Stanford, Ky. July 14, 1882
Bones of a Giant
It is stated of enormous size has been found on the East bank of the Big Miami River, on the farm of Mr. Lewis Strong, near Cincinnati. The recent freshets washed away a portion of the ground, while plowing Mr, Strong unearthed a pile of bones, which proved to be human, and of a size that would make the stories of “Jack and the Giant-Killer” creditable, the thigh bones being as large as those of an ox. Around the bones were a number of Indian relics, such as a tomahawk, spear-heads etc, leading to the belief that the remains were those of an Indian chief. The skull has been taken to Mr. Strong’s residence where it can be seen.
