John:
Please do not get me started on the subjects of giants and pigmies in North America.
I have file folders full of stuff.
You are correct, it is hard to find on the internet unless you go to the real fringe sites.
But there are newspaper stories of the 1800’s of pigmy burial grounds plowed up in Tennessee and Kentucky.
And of Sunday afternoon, after Church, picnics where the men would go to the local “Indian Mound,” dig out skulls, big enough to put over their heads like Halloween masks, and then use them as targets in shooting contests.
It is the John Wesley Powell / Smithsonian conspiracy theory that is credited with keeping it all out of current knowledge.
