The Giant and How He Humbugged America Hardcover - 2012
by Jim Murphy
A two-time Newbery Honor Book author has written an amazing account of one of America's most famous hoaxes! When a 10-foot tall purported "petrified man" is unearthed from a backyard in upstate New York in 1869, the discovery immediately turns into a spectacle of epic proportions.
From the rear cover
"There's a sucker born every minute." -- David Hannum (one of the owners of the Cardiff Giant)
