Sandstone Inscriptions

 

SANDSTONE VIEW LATE 60s


Many people have scratched their names into the soft sandstone
Picture above is RCMP members signature
Same as below


 

General Custer (and the 7th Cavalry)
 is supposed to have stopped here,
and signed his name.

From the 1955 Roche Percee History book-
 report by B. M. Dawson (1875), he says they owe their curious forms
 to the weathering away of soft sand from the bed of hard rocks,
which is rendered durable by an abundant calcareous cement.
