In the Summer of 1935, the finding of Folsom Man was heralded throughout the country by the daily press and several Sunday supplement articles on the subject appeared in various papers. The articles were based on a publication, New World Man, by J. D. Figgins, then director of the Colorado Museum of Natural History, now with the Bernheim Foundation, Louisville, Kentucky. The identification of the remains as those of Folsom Man seemingly was made by some reporter who noted that they were found eight miles east of Folsom, New Mexico. Beyond the fact that the bones were in a bank of the Cimarron River, fourteen miles east of the quarry where the original Folsom points and extinct bison were uncovered ten years ago, there was nothing to warrant the conclusion that they represented Folsom Man.
