The portage trail at the "Landing" is still visible within the city limits of South Bend, Indiana. The trail is no longer used, but thousands of years of people walking this path have made the earth a hard pan where nothing grows.

The map shows the location of the portage landing with the routes taken by LaSalle in 1679 en route to discover the Mississippi River and later by Charlevoix in 1721. The trail led to the Kankakee River.

FIND GIANTS‘ SKELETONS

In Life They Averaged 12 in Height

    Winnsboro, La., Dec. 15. – The skeletons of a race of giants who averaged twelve feet in height were found today by workmen engaged upon a drainage project at Crowville, near here. 

     There are several score, at least, of the skeletons and they lie in various positions. It is believed they were killed In a prehistoric fight, and that the bodies lay where they fell until covered with alluvial deposits due to the flooding of the Mississippi River.

    No weapons of any sort were found, and it is believed the Titans must have struggled with wooden clubs. The skulls are a perfect state of preservation, and one of the jawbones is large enough to fit around a child’s body.
