The hieroglyphics are crude affairs, but the painting on the “Picture Rocks” were said to be of rare beauty and marvelous coloration. The rocks of the Allegheny River will defy time, but the rapacious lumbermen who insisted on running logs off the mountain top above the “Picture Rocks” at that particular spot destroyed forever this master-work of the redman’s artistry. Unfortunately we do not know the particular events which these early memorials were supposed to commemorate. All is shrouded in mystery so that the mere event of erecting and dedicating a marker does not insure its legend being permanent.
