Here's a link to the original blog article.
The article states that the remains were those of a "Garib" Native American. (Carib) This I disagree with. I believe these remains were of the same ethnic group as those labelled as the "Adena" in Ohio. (or "Adena Mound Builders") The Carib are still around in the form of their descendants, the Arawak. Link to Wikipedia article about the Island Carib people. The remains also could not be Seminole or Miccosukee (Everglades Muskogee Native Americans). I have seen plenty of these guys, and they are not giants, just normal-sized humans.
Notice how the bones were sent to the Smithsonian "for their examination".
The original blog article did not have any date, but the file name had this information in it: World Journal, August 25, 1927
