    Bridges, bombs and bones​

    On Aug. 22, workers began digging a drainage ditch from the new plant to the Ohio River. Roughly 100 yards from the river, they hit what looked to be an old cemetery. It turned out that they had stumbled upon an untouched Native American burial ground.

    The grave they found was typical of these sites in that it included jewelry, shards of pottery and even weapons. What was not typical was the quality of the remains uncovered — two fully intact skeletons still wearing the ancient clothing they were buried in.

    These skeletons were huge, both measuring almost 12 feet in height from head to toe. The Aug. 23, 1892, edition of the Pittsburgh Dispatch contained a short article of the find.

    We do not know what happened to the skeletons, although it could be assumed that they were reburied further away from the site after the curiosity-seekers had ceased their gawking. If that was the case, the burials were probably destroyed by the Jones & Laughlin Steel development roughly 15 years later.
