Preview The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up
THE ANCIENT GIANTS WHO RULED AMERICA “This is the most comprehensive and level approach to the subject of giant humanoids in Earth’s past to have ever been published. The most appealing aspect is that Dewhurst has collected a vast array of primary sources and presents them here. Reading one newspaper discovery after another of giant skeletons and artifacts is perhaps the most compelling reason to question the standard lines we are given about humanity’s origins. When coupled with his persuasive theories explaining why the Smithsonian would actively cover up such discoveries, you have one valuable and entertaining read! Highly recommended.” ROBERT R. HIERONIMUS, PH.D., AUTHOR OF FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES AND HOST OF 21ST CENTURY RADIO “Giants in ancient America? You bet! It’s all here in Richard Dewhurst’s fabulous book. Extensively illustrated and chronicled with firsthand accounts from early 19th-and 20th-century news clippings, this book will shatter the mainstream academic teachings that continue to ignore and cover up the role giants played in early American history.” XAVIANT HAZE, AUTHOR OF ALIENS IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND COAUTHOR OF THE SUPPRESSED HISTORY OF AMERICA “At last, a comprehensive sourcebook that demystifies the giants of ancient America. Lavishly illustrated, this goliath and gutsy book delivers an unprecedented wealth of information on the great mound builders. Dewhurst digs deeper than the rest. Don’t miss it.” SUSAN B. MARTINEZ, PH.D., AUTHOR OF LOST HISTORY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE AND THE MYSTERIOUS ORIGINS OF HYBRID MAN ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Giant gratitude to my wife, Maxine, and son, Charles, for their continued love and support, without which this book would have been impossible. Giant bro’ love to Doug Grant, Ben Edmonds, Tom McGowan, Jay Kriss, Derek Crockett, Bruce Marshall, and Ehud Sperling, president of Inner Traditions, for their friendship and inspiration along life’s often perilous and bizarre journey. Giant respect to all the wonderful people at Inner Traditions who made this book possible: Jon Graham, for his great eye and greater mind; Mindy Branstetter, for her admirable patience and meticulous editing; Jeanie Levitan, for her wise guidance; Nancy Yeilding, for shaping the manuscript into its final form; and Cyndi Marcotte, for keeping it all together. And finally, giant thanks to the Quarry Hill community for providing me with shelter from the storm. The eyes of that species of extinct Giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now.
