Regarding Wyoming Little People.
The Anthropological Department of Harvard University claimed that there was no doubt as to the genuineness of the mummy. & two experts of the American Museum of Natural History revealed their x-rays showed a small skeletal structure covered by dried skin. It is smaller than any known human types. & the supposition developed that it might be a form of anthropid which roamed the North American continent about five million years ago in the get this!! (Pliocene age).
A printed state brocure in the 1940's (Wyoming),
said that skeletons of a race of Little People encased in solid rock extends as far north as the Yellowstone River & have been found in caves near the Colorado line. A group of scientists is seeking a cave in the Big Horn Mts where five of these mummies are said to be buried cross-legged on an ancient ledge.
Several other reports of mummies found in the area include, James Reynolds of Casper & others, found a bunch of small skulls in the local mountains. A man herding sheep, Jose Martinez, said he found a whole mummy & six skulls.
In Montana's Beartooth Mts A sheepherder Bill Street, found small skulls , as well as whole mummies in 1922.
The Snakes, Bannocks, & Arapahoe all had legends of little people.
The Arapahoe could not contact the little people with sign language, & very much afraid of them.
This mummy is also mentioned in Wierd America,( quoting again from the book) An expert from the Boston Museum's Egyptian Department observed that it resembled in appearance those mummies that the Egyptians had left unwrapped.
Also quoting from the book Wierd America, (and for decades there have been stories in east Tennessee and southwest North Carolina of stone tombs found along the eastern slope of the Great Smokies. skeletons were all three feet tall, no more , or so' tis said).
Another story (Quote), Berryville Ar., 40 air ni. NE of Fayetteville., eight miles southwest of here, on private land between the Prescott farm and brushy creek, a rock outcropping holds a neatly formed rectangular doorway about 4 feet high and 18 inches wide. behind the opening is a meandering passage that leads to a small, circular chamber. The structure has been dismissed as " a spanish mine" or a treasure chamber, but the low ceiling height would seem to militate against that. Spanish conquistadors were probably somewhat shorter than the modern American average, but not that short.
(Giant Skeletons)
Quoting from the book Wierd America, by Jim Brandon.
Lompoc Rancho, About 60 mi NW of Santa Barbara ( California, my addition) on S.R. 1
soldiers digging a pit for storage of powder in 1833 broke through a layer of gravel and found a 12 foot human skeleton, (yes that was 12 foot folks, my addition also), surrounded by carved shells, stone axes, and blocks of porphyry covered with unintelligible symbols. The skull had a double row of teeth on upper and lower jaws. According to the only surviving report on the incident, the authorities ordered the remains reburied in a secret location when superstitious natives began to be troubled by what they regarded as a bad omen. So possibly the archaelogically priceless material is still somewhere in this area, perhaps not too deeply buried.
More Later, Fossis...............
