Visit #8: Brady's Leap and
Standing Rock
|
THIS IS THE SITE OF THE GREAT INDIAN CHASE AND SAM BRADY'S ESCAPE ACROSS THE CUYAHOGA (CROOKED) RIVER. SAM BRADY WAS BEING PURSUED BY INDIANS ALL THE WAY FROM SANDUSKY TO THIS LOCATION ON THE CUYAHOGA RIVER. HE JUMPED 22 FEET ACROSS THE RIVER TO SAFETY! |
|
STANDING ROCK IS A GIGANTIC ROCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER. JUST LIKE SIGNAL TREE, THIS WAS ALSO A MARKER ON ONE OF THE GREAT OHIO INDIAN TRAILS. THE INDIANS WOULD CLIMB OUT ONTO THE ROCK BY PLACING A FALLEN TREE FROM THE BANK OF THE RIVER TO THE HUGE BOULDER. HERE THE WOULD HAVE TRIBAL COUNCIL MEETINGS TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS. |
