'Maiden's Rock, Lake Pepin', 1874. Rock formation on Lake Pepin, Wisconsin, USA. 'The great tradition of death and sorrow belongs to Maiden's Rock...Winona was a young girl of that confederacy...which the French called Sioux...She loved a hunter of the same division of the confederacy, but her parents wished her to marry a warrior of the Wapesha division...The day before the union she ascended a bluff of great height, whose upper part is a sheer precipice...and threw herself...from the height, being dashed to pieces in the great buttress of rocky debris below'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
