INDIAN GRAVES YIELD
SHENANDOAH RELICS
Flood waters near Berryville. Virginia unearth a 7 1/2 foot skeleton of an ancient human. Of course, when this human, to whom the bones belonged, was alive in the flesh he would have been more like 7 feet. 9 inches tall. Also, this skeleton like some others found in the same area had generally 2 to 3 times the mass as that of contemporary humans. The grave where the skeleton was found was centrally located amongst other graves, perhaps, testifying to the important position in society that the owner of these bones once held.
Another find, much larger than the first, was on the farm of Felix McManus, near Berryville,Virginia This is supposed to be an old Indian cemetery, and the unearthing was done by floods when the Shenandoah River was unusually high. Practically the same sort of relics were found, including a tomahawk. The graves were grouped around a center one in which the skeleton measured seven and one-half feet.

Captain Chittenden refuses to reveal the burial ground of this prehistoric man, but admits that it is somewhere in one of the oldest Indian mounds of West Berkeley.

The thigh bones are a large and measured by present day standards indicate that the owner of them must have been a man by at least eight feet high. Half the skull is gone, but the half that remains shows that twice as many brains as that of the modern man. This skull is like one found several years ago in West Berkeley when excavations were being made for the foundation of a building.
" I have no doubt," say Captain Chittenden, "that ages ago giants roamed around this country. This man was no monstrosity, such as we occasionally have nowadays, but a perfectly formed man ans possessed of great of great intellectual powers. I intend to continue my investigation in the hope of finding more bones of our ancestors."
Captain Chittenden will present the skeleton to the Berkeley High School.
