520    Drawing on 400 years of newspaper articles and photos, 
       first person accounts, state historical records, and 
       illustrated field reports, Richard J. Dewhurst reveals not
       only that North America was once ruled by an advanced race
       of giants but also that the Smithsonian has been actively 
       suppressing the physical evidence for nearly 150 years. He
       shows how thousands of giant skeletons have been unearthed
       at Mound Builder sites across the continent, only to 
       disappear from the historical record. He examines other 
       concealed giant discoveries, such as the giant mummies 
       found in Spirit Cave, Nevada, wrapped in fine textiles and
       dating to 8000 BCE; the hundreds of red-haired bog mummies
       found at sinkhole "cenotes" on the west coast of Florida 
       and dating to 7500 BCE; and the ruins of the giants' 
       cities with populations in excess of 100,000 in Arizona, 
       Oklahoma, Alabama, and Louisiana. Dewhurst shows how this 
       suppression began shortly after the Civil War and 
       transformed into an outright cover-up in 1879 when Major 
       John Wesley Powell was appointed Smithsonian director, 
       launching a strict pro-evolution, pro-Manifest Destiny 
       agenda. He also reveals the 1920s' discovery on Catalina 
       Island of a megalithic burial complex with 6,000 years of 
       continuous burials and over 4,000 skeletons, including a 
       succession of kings and queens, some more than 9 feet tall
       --the evidence for which is hidden in the restricted-
       access evidence rooms at the Smithsonian.--Publisher's 
       description.
