About This Book
The pamphlet collects a Pomo legend explaining a stone face on a riverside mountain: two brothers, a mysterious woman, and a jealous act that wounds one brother and invokes a curse that imprisons the other within the mountain while the wounded brother's visage becomes carved in rock as a warning. The narrative concludes with a later tunnel driven through the mountain that releases the prisoner who returns to gaze, unable to look away. The pamphlet also includes promotional descriptions of the railway route along the Russian River, noting scenic canyons, tall redwoods, mild climate, agricultural richness, and regional hotels and resorts.
