There is historical documentation of giants living in America. The journal of Captain John Smith describes a 1608 incident when he and his crew encountered 60 eight-foot-tall giants of the Susquehannock tribe while traveling up the tributaries on the Chesapeake Bay.:

"60 of those Susquehannock came to us. Such great and well-proportioned men are seldom seen, for they seemed like giants to the English. These are the strangest people of all those countries both in language and attire; their language may well beseem their proportions, sounding from them like a voice in a vault.

Their attire is the skins of bears and wolves, some have cassocks made of bear heads and skins. The half sleeves coming to the elbows were the heads of bears and the arms through the open mouth. One had a wolf's head hanging from a chain for a jewel, with a club suitable to his greatness sufficient to beat out one's brains. Five of their chiefs came aboard the ship. The greatest of them had long hair on one side of the head and the other shorn close with a ridge over his crown like a rooster's comb. The calf of the leg was 3/4 of a yard around and all the rest of his limbs so answerable to that proportion that he seemed the goodliest man we ever beheld!" - From the voyages of Captain John Smith (of Jamestown, Va) - 1607 - 1609
