Giants on Record

Giants on Record examines historical accounts and archaeological evidence of giant human skeletons reportedly discovered across North America. The book compiles newspaper articles, first-hand testimonies, and official documents from the 1800s through early 1900s that describe findings of oversized human remains. The authors investigate Native American oral traditions about giants and compare these stories to similar accounts from early American settlers and researchers. They analyze specific case studies of alleged giant skeleton discoveries, including photographs, measurements, and witness statements from the time periods in question. The work presents geological and archaeological context for various discovery sites, along with details about artifact preservation and documentation methods of the era. The book includes maps showing locations of reported finds and chronicles the involvement of institutions like the Smithsonian in collecting and studying these specimens. This text raises broader questions about how archaeological findings are verified, documented, and either preserved or dismissed by scientific institutions over time. The authors' research touches on themes of lost history and the intersection between folklore and physical evidence.
