1874 Pioneer Society of Michigan (Ontario Canada)
We frequently hear of the discovery of the skeletons of a gigantic (Nephiim) race, and
we are therefore the more puzzled to know to what race the mound
builders belonged, for although we are called a new country,
comparatively speaking, we may be the oldest. A few years ago an article
appeared in the Toronto Telegraph stating that in the township of
Cayuga in the Grand River, on the farm of DanielFredenburg, five or six
feet below the surface, were found two hundred skeletons nearly perfect,
in a string of beads around the neck of each, stone pipes in the jaws
of several of them, and many stone axes and skinners scattered around in
the dirt. The skeletons were gigantic, some of them measuring nine
feet, and few of them less than seven. Some of the thigh bones were six
inches longer that any now known. The farm had been cultivated a century
and was originally covered with a growth of pine. There was evidence
from the crushed bones that a battled had been fought and these were
some of the slain… Were these the remains of Indians or some other race?
Who filled this ghastly pit?
