Prehistoric Cemetery King Hill Overlook

Excerpt from the book, The Encyclopedia of Ancient Giants in North America:

From the Cook County, Herald, Oct. 24, 1903 Workmen terracing King hill, an old landmark of the northwestern Missouri which is to be converted into a residential suburb of St Joseph, have unearthed a prehistoric cemetery. The remains of a race of dwarfs, not allied with any tribe known to have inhabited the territory, and unaccounted for by Indian legendary repose on the summit of King hill."

A giant skeleton more than seven feet tall was also found in the grave along with various shells and stones.
