A fact from Antonine Barada appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 29 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 4,817 times (

Barada apparently was a real person, so the article is unclear as to what is factual and what is legend. Is Barada believed to have actually saved ANY slaves from drowning? Or is that entirely legend? Is he known to have been exceptionally large, is it suspected that he was exceptionally large, or is it merely legend that he was exceptionally large? If the stone in St. Louis actually exists, verify this and give the location. If it does not exist, delete the passage, as it is not much of a legend.
I'd like to know how widely known this person's legend is? I've never heard of him before stumbling on this article, so is he currently well known and, if so, by how wide a region? I'm not sure I like the scale to which the line "The Barada myth is widely known" reaches. I'd like to know what region(s) his myth is best known in so that the sentence can be modified to a more accurate representation of the scope of this myth.

Since his grandfather Antoine was his namesake and both he and the boy's father were French, why wasn't Antoine given as the first version of Barada's name? That is more correct French than Antonine, which might have been a misspelling that got recorded.-- Parkwells ( talk) 12:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
The 1975 article on the Ioway Nation website said that Antoine was kidnapped when his parents lived at Ft. Liasr, described as 200 miles north of Omaha. This sounds different than Ft. Lisa in North Omaha. Do you know which is right?-- Parkwells ( talk) 13:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Quite possible. This was Peter Sarpy's town in Mills County, Iowa across from Bellevue (in Sarpy County) that was washed away by the end of the Civil War. I know of no St. Marys across the river from Nemaha County, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.116.177.82 ( talk) 05:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Here's my justification for removing this article from Category:Giants on the grounds that Antonine Barada is a historical figure, not a myth, since said removal got reversed. From Wikipedia's own article on Mythology: "...a myth is a sacred narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form." Myth is used colloquially to mean any false story or idea, but it has a technical usage which takes precedence in an encyclopedia, and which excludes Antonine Barada, Paul Bunyon, chupacabra, and so forth.
