Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The first full-length study of the ongoing investigation by the authors of a spectacular North American site and its ancient cultural records. Here the ancestors of the present-day Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) American Indians created a remarkable series of pictographic paintings of the legend of Red Horn, a reincarnation of a primordial deity. Adapting a natural rock formation in Wisconsin for use as a possible shrine, these skilled artists of about 900--1,000 A.D. left a visual representation that continues to testify to their deeply held spiritual beliefs.
"As told by Henry G. Allanson, Mary H. Eastman, James Garvie, David Grey Cloud, Julia Laframboise, Martha Riggs Morris, Michel Renville, and Stephen R. Riggs."
