There is a site, somewhere on the net, about hoaxes. I either used Cardiff Giant, or Hoax for search word and came up with it. It is very complete and seems accurate in regard to what I know about it. I once saw it at the Farmers Museum in the Cooperstown NY area. I believe it has moved but is still in the same part of the state. I was there this past summer but did not have time to search it out again. Got my stuff off the net mid summer last year, saw it in the mid 70's. Not really much to look at and hard to believe anyone would fall for it..... It was built in Iowa (If I recall correctly) and taken in by cart.... but all that is in the web article.
