The Legend of Squaw Rock

beautiful squaw rock

whenever my family would go on a day trip to the city

or to santa rosa and a kid, we would pass squaw rock.  as far back as i can

remember, i have been told the legend of squaw rock and it has been

one of my favorite legends. during my recent trip to

mendocino, i was finally able to stop and get a lovely picture of

the rock and thought to share the story with you all here.

 

the legend tells of a beautiful indian princess who fell in love

with an indian warrior, a love forbidden by her father.  one day, the warrior was

tragically killed in battle, never to return to his princess.

when the princess heard word of his death, she ran away and threw herself

from a cliff so she could finally be with her beloved.
