Giant Iroquois Remains Uncovered in Mount Morris New York Burial Mound
Giant Iroquois Remains Uncovered in Mount Morris, New York Burial Mound
History of Livingston County, New York, 1881
History of Livingston County, New York, 1881
When Jesse Stanley came to Mount Morris in 1811, an Indian mound, nearly a hundred feet in diameter and from 8 to 10 feet high, covered the site of the late General Mills residence. The mound had long been crowned by a great tree, which had recently fallen under the ax, the stump remaining, though much weather-beaten. Deacon Stanley was told that when freshly cut it disclosed a hundred and thirty concentric circles or yearly growths. About the year 1820, the mound was removed, and, in its removal, arrowheads, a brass kettle and knives were thrown out. A number of skeletons were also disinterred. Among the bones was a human skeleton of enormous size, the jaw-bone of which was so large that Adam Holtslander placed it, mask-like, over his own chin and jaw, although he was the largest man in the settlement, and his face was in proportion to the rest of his body. Metal, in the form of rude medals, a pipe, and other articles, were picked out of the earth thrown from the excavation.

Holy front drive! Familys garden swallowed up by giant 20ft hole which appeared from nowhere
A family has abandoned its Victorian home after a tiny hole in the driveway opened up into a 20ft crater - which swallowed their entire front garden.
Housewife Dawn Hides, 46, was about to take her 17-year-old daughter Alice to college when she noticed two paving stones missing from her front drive.
But as she walked towards the tiny hole to investigate the ground gave way beneath her feet and she fell into a huge chasm.
Husband Nick, also 46, was woken by the sound of falling masonry and rushed outside to help Dawn, who escaped from the hole with only cuts and bruises.
But over the following week their driveway and garden slowly slipped into the crater and they were forced to abandon the £350,000 home.
It is believed the cavern is an old cellar or water storage tank, which will now have to be filled in with concrete.
Mum-of-three Dawn, of Clevedon, Somerset, said: As I came out of the front door I noticed two of the paving bricks had gone.
Then, before I knew it, I was in a hole up to my shoulders and I couldnt get out as every time I tried to grab hold of something more of the driveway kept sliding away.
Luckily I only got a few cuts and bruises. The hole was originally just the size of my body but since then its got bigger and bigger.
Weve had to stay in a hotel because cracks have started appearing in our front room.
It will take weeks to fill the hole but fingers crossed well be back in time for Christmas.
Dawn and her engineer husband Nick, who moved into the house 12 years ago, have had no problems with the driveway until it caved in at 7.30am on Monday.
But as the hole widened cracks started to appear in their front room and they were forced to move into a local hotel.
Experts have since found a brick archway around 10ft (3m) underground, suggesting it was cellar or water storage tank.
They now plan to make the house safe by underpinning its foundations and filling in the 20ft by 20ft hole with concrete.
The building work will be covered by their insurance but the Hides do not know if they will be back in time for Christmas.
Ironically, Nick had booked a week off work to carry out renovations on their property when the massive crater appeared before he could begin.
He said: The main thing is that Dawn was okay and we somehow managed to get the car off the driveway without that being lost down the hole. Local historian Jane Lilly said Hides house was built in the early Victorian era and believes their driveway has subsided into a water storage tank.
She said: Houses built along that road date back to the early 1860s, which comes only a few years after mains water was laid in 1856.
But for most people there was a transition period and the archway seems to be good evidence of a traditional brick-lined storage tank for rain water.
The hole could also have been caused by a cellar but thats less likely because youd expect one to be directly underneath the house rather than out in front.

Best Preserved Skeleton of Extinct Tribe Hauled from Channel
San Francisco, June 10- Up to three hundred years ago, a giant race of Indians inhabited the coastal regions of California. Remains of these have been discovered in the islands of the Santa Barbara Channel. To William Altman, assistant curator of the Golden Gate Park Museum belongs the honor of discovering one of the tallest and best-preserved skeletons of this extinct tribe.Another finds of giant skeletons was found on Catalina Island
The giant skeleton found was ten feet from the surface, and around it were a large number of mortars and pestles, charm stones and obsidian arrow heads. One of the skeleton measured seven feet four inches.”
Many of the large skeletal remains were found in the Channel Isalnds or near the coast. This is evidence of migrations from the Maritime Archaic 7000 BC - 2000 A.D. who had an identical material culture and skulls types that are found the extent of the northern latitudes of the globe. Here is an example of one of the finds on Santa Rosa Island.
These giant skeletal remains are not isolated to the Califronia coasts but can also be found in the Gulf of Mexico and the Altlantic seaboard. Newspaper headlines describing large skeletons that were found in Amercias coastal regions
