  1. "BODY OF PREHISTORIC MAN, 12 FEET LONG, IS FOUND IN MICHIGAN", Daily Ardmoreite (Ardmore, OK), 1919-09-07, https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042303/1919-09-07/ed-1/seq-1/, "Lansing, Mich., Sept. 6. — What is thought to be the body of a prehistoric man, 12 feet in length, was found buried in the yard of a Jackson policeman while excavating work was being done there Friday. The body, it is said by physicians who examined it, is in a perfect state of preservation, even to the hair on the head and the teeth, which show no signs of decay. The physicians gave it as their opinion that the body was genuine. The spot where the body was found was occupied till a few years ago by a large mound of earth, it was said, and specimens of petrified animal and vegetable matter have been found there, supporting the prehistoric-man theory. The legs of the body are six feet long; the arms, four. The head is round, with a face nearly flat, while the skin is lightly drawn and resembles brown leather. A stake, rotted, protruded from the chest of the body, which appeared mummified."
