Large Skeleton Found in Huntington West Virginia Burial Mound
GIANT IN ANCIENT MOUND
Curious Relics of Prehistoric Times are found in Tomb
Huntington West Virginia - June 22, - The municipal authorities of Central City, four miles west of here, three weeks ago ordered the removal of a prehistoric mound from Thirteenth street. Today twelve feet above the base of the mound a gigantic human skeleton was discovered. It is almost seven feet in length, and of massive proportions.
It was surrounded by a mass of rude trinkets. Eight huge copper bracelets were discovered. Thus, when burnished, proved to be of purest beaten copper and a perfect preservation. Rude stone vessels, hatchets, and arrowheads were found with the skeleton.
A curiously inscribed totem was found at the head of the skeleton. The Smithsonian Institution will be notified of the discovery.
