Danny Millett, a Duckwater elder told me the story of a legend of the rock family. He talked about a family from the Reese River area. Somehow the family had been turned to stone. He said they were giants. He said he had actually seen the stone family. They are now giant rocks.
I have reviewed different stories in Nevada. There is a story of a race of giants who lived in the Lovelock area. They were cannibals. The people finally had enough of them, chased them into a cove, sealed the entrance after starting a fire inside the cave. This killed them all. The mummy of a man 6'6" has been found in the Lovelock cave.
But part of the legend told me by Danny Millet was that mountain took the shape of the family of giants and it could still be seen today.
