Book summary

A true story about one of the greatest hoaxes ever. . . . In the 19th century, a man named George Hull carved a ten-foot-tall stone giant. He secretly buried it in the ground, then had it dug up, causing a huge sensation-- people believed it was a genuine petrified man! The hoax grew bigger and bigger, and before long, P.T. Barnum got in on the action. When would America learn the truth? [via]
