Red- and Blonde-Haired Ancient Mummies in Kentucky and Tennessee

    Did the mound builder have red hair?  "The scalp, with small exceptions," says Mitchell, somewhat vaguely, "is covered with sorrel or foxy hair."  "The color of the hair" says the writer, on page 159, Vol II under Edmonson County, "was a dark red:" and Bradford, describing the mummies found on the Cumberland River in Tennessee, and in the Mammoth Cave and other caverns of Kentucky, says that the hair was "generally of the color varying from brown to yellow and red."  This testimony would seem to be conclusive as to the prevailing tint of Aboriginal hair and might be hastily accepted as confirmatory of the theory which ascribes to the Mound-builders a European origin.

Marion County, West Virginia Giant's Graves

There are numerous accounts of giant skeletons being discovered in Marion County, West Virginia


Now and Long Ago, 1969

     Near Smithtown, on lands of John C. Malone, is an Indian burying place, located under an overhanging rock, close to White Day Creek.  A  number of bones and skeletons have been taken from this ancient cemetery, by Dr. Kramer and others.

    In September, 1882, a large skeleton was unearthed in the district by F.M. Fetty and wife.  It was in a sitting position, in a rock grave, walled up with loose stones.  In the summer of 1883, James Faulkner and others found an unusually large skeleton in the district.  It is said to be that of a man whose stature was not less than seven feet, and who evidently belonged to prehistoric times. (Dr. Kramer measured the skeleton and found it to be seven-feet-four inches long, and supposed its owner, when living, must have been almost eight feet tall.


   At Rivesville once upon a time three giant skeletons were found while excavating for a new bridge, and this discovery coupled with other things nearby indicated to historians that the section was once the home of an ancient tribe of Indians.  Each of the skeletons found was more than seven feet long, and the men themselves must have been several inches taller.
