"The 'Onondaga Giant'
We learn that Alfred Higgins, Esq., and a brother of our county Treasurer, Samuel Higgins, Esq., has purchased the 'Onondaga Giant,' for which he paid $50,000. This giant, of which we give a full account on our front page, is creating a giant furor among scientific men, who are becoming simewhat muddled over its origin. It is daily visited by thousands, and Mr. Higgins will doubtless make a good thing ot it." Barnstable Patriot, 30 Nov 1869, p2
