title: The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up
author:  Richard J. Dewhurst 
description: &ldquo;This is the most comprehensive and level approach to the subject of giant humanoids in Earth&rsquo;s past to have ever been published. The most appealing aspect is that Dewhurst has collected a vast array of primary sources and presents them here. Reading one newspaper discovery after another of giant skeletons and artifacts is perhaps the most compelling reason to question the standard lines we are given about humanity&rsquo;s origins. When coupled with his persuasive theories explaining why the Smithsonian would actively cover up such discoveries, you have one valuable and entertaining read! Highly recommended.&rdquo; (<i>Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D., author of Founding Fathers, Secret Societies and host of 21st Century R</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;Giants in ancient America? You bet! It&rsquo;s all here in Richard Dewhurst&rsquo;s fabulous book. Extensively illustrated and chronicled with firsthand accounts from early 19th- and 20th-century news clippings, this book will shatter the mainstream academic teachings that continue to ignore and cover up the role giants played in early American history.&rdquo; (<i>Xaviant Haze, author of Aliens in Ancient Egypt and coauthor of The Suppressed History of America</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;At last, a comprehensive sourcebook that demystifies the giants of ancient America. Lavishly illustrated, this goliath and gutsy book delivers an unprecedented wealth of information on the great mound builders. Dewhurst digs deeper than the rest. Don&rsquo;t miss it.&rdquo; (<i>Susan B. Martinez, Ph.D., author of Lost History of the Little People and The Mysterious Origins of</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t say this lightly, but of all the nonfiction books I have on my precious shelf space, this book actually has its own little stand so I can gaze at it. I&rsquo;ve highlighted nearly every page and dog-earred many and hope to use these references in future hypotheses I will present about this amazing and unexplainable race of giants. Thank you, Dewhurst, for such an amazing and laboriously loving research into what I consider one of the single most important anthropological puzzles man has ever tackled.&rdquo; (<i>Sharon Day, Ghost Hunting Theories Blog, January 2014</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;<I>The Ancient Giants who Ruled America</I> is a treasure trove for alternative history and archaeology buffs&hellip;This book was an eye-opener, both in its subject matter and also the amount of reporting that Mr. Dewhurst was able to hunt down, covering nearly 400 years.&rdquo; (<i>Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, July 2014</i>)
