Morton County – Giant Race
-Near Mandon, Dakota, is an old cemetery covering nearly one hundred acres. Excavations reveal the fact that trenches were filled with the bodies of men and animals thrown in promiscuously. The Human Bones Belonged to a Giant Race, while the dark, beautifully decorated pottery shows the race to have been skilled in that kind of work. There are many indications of its having been a great battlefield.
- North Dakota, Morton County, Mandan, May 7, 1883.
