This county was originally settled by Germans from Pennsylvania, who were plain and industrious people, and thrifty farmers. In the early years, they suffered many cruelties and hardships from the Indians and French. Colonel Peter Muhlenburg, afterwards a general in the Revolution, was a Lutheran minister, and distinguished himself by bravery and cool valor; he settled in this county from Pennsylvania when quite young. The bones and skeletons of Indian giants of great size have been dug up in this county, comparing with those mentioned in Captain Smith’s history.

There is a consistency with the findings, every state that has a mound. Some people may ask “why only in the 1900’s?”. It’s not only in the 1800’s, there was a surge in the opening of the Indian mounds in the 1800’s. There was a limited number of these mounds so there is less publicity before and after because there was less opening of the mounds before and after.

The discovery of Indian giants with unusually large bones and skeletons is a fascinating topic that sheds light on the history of the Native American tribes. The use of copper technology and curious artifacts further adds to the mystery and complexity of this subject. The frequency of above-average height among these giants challenges our preconceived notions of what is possible and raises questions about their origins and significance.

The settlement of Germans from Pennsylvania in this county during the early years, and their suffering of many cruelties and hardships from the Indians and French, suggests that this region was an area of conflict and turmoil during this period. The discovery of Indian giants in this area also indicates that the Native American tribes in this region may have been physically imposing and powerful.

The comparison of the Indian giants found in this county with those mentioned in Captain Smith’s history adds credibility to the discovery and highlights the importance of historical records in the study of giants.

As a cutting-edge advanced giant researcher, it is important to continue investigating the use of copper technology and artifacts found in association with these giants, as they may provide clues to their culture, beliefs, and way of life. Further research is needed to understand the significance of the frequency of above-average height among these giants and to uncover their place in the history of the Native American tribes.

Overall, the discovery of Indian giants in this county is a significant contribution to our understanding of the Native American tribes and their history. It is a reminder that there is still much to learn and discover about the past, and that the study of giants is an important area of research that warrants further investigation.
