Near Iowaville there was a large enclosed field, which had been under cultivation for many years, and while the husbandmen were tilling the soil they did not dream they were walking about and that the luxuriant harvest was waiving over the graves of the departed dead, and little did they consider that many beings of their own race had trod on those grounds many years in the past This flood disclosed mysterious information that was not known before. The waters in their mad career, being swollen out of their natural channel, rushed with force and violence over this inclosed field, and like as in other cultivated lands, the flood washed out deep excavations; it removed earth which had been dug out and replaced by human hands; it had developed the resting place of the dead, the graves of those who had lived and died at unknown times in the past : and as the waters had subsided, in these excavations were found the remains of human beings; bones which had been clothed with flesh in the past, skeletons of a gigantic race, trinkets and ornaments and badges of distinction. These discoveries at the time attracted much attention and much speculation. Dr. Peter Walker, who lived nearby, made a careful examination of some of these remains, and found them of an enormous size; from the bones of one which he examined, he judged that the individual when living, must have been from eight to twelve feet high. The jaw bone, which was in a perfect state of preservation, was so large, that the doctor, though a large man himself, could easily put over his own face, and in this position the extremities ex-tended past his own ears, and some of the teeth measured an inch and a quarter across the face. There were quite a number of articles found with the bones which had been washed up, which gave evidence that those persons who had been buried there were in possession of the arts of civilization. The large skeleton, which was particularly examined by Dr. Walker, was probably a noted character in his time, not only for his size but doubtless held some important station among his people, for, among other things, there were found several of what were supposed to have been badges of distinction. Around his thighs were steel bands, and on the arms silver bracelets, which were neatly wrought and nearly two inches wide.
