A Tradition of Giants
Book •
Ross Hamilton's 'A Tradition of Giants' surveys historical reports, newspaper accounts, and folklore concerning unusually large human remains and giant traditions in North America.
The book compiles documented cases, examines regional patterns, and explores how giant stories feature in indigenous and settler narratives.
Hamilton places these accounts in a broader cultural and archaeological context, considering how such reports were recorded and preserved.
He aims to separate hoaxes from documented reports and highlight the scope of the giant tradition in historical sources.
The work has become a reference for researchers interested in anomalous human remains and related folklore.
