I remember reading a "National Geographic" article about some excavation at the site of the battle of Little Bighorn in the USA.
They remarked that skeletons of soldiers unearthed were around the 5' 6" mark, which was the average white male height at the time.
Certainly the average white male height is much more nowadays.
