Synopsis
Hileman (Oregon California Trails Association and Casper College) recounts her work recording every remaining mark on Independence Rock and the nearby Devil's Gate. She discusses the history, mystery, and myths surrounding the two formations. And, citing diary entries and letters, she describes the experiences of the emigrants, soldiers, and travelers who left their inscriptions there. The inscriptions themselves are listed alphabetically, with notes as to their author, date, and location. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
