NOT MUCH KNOWN OF PRAYER ROCK LEGEND

Many are interested in the Prayer Rock on the South side of the entrance walk to the Memorial Library. This five ton boulder has laid on a hill side on the farm of Lewis Larson, south of Mobridge as long as any one can remember.

Before the white men came, a deep path had been worn to this rock from the Cree Indian village on an adjacent hill and it is supposed that the Indians fell to their knees placing their hands in the prints on the rock.

The present position of the boulder is to the south and a little east and with the same incline, just as it was in the original position looking toward the Missouri River. Some day, the truth may be known as to when the strange signs on its face were made and by whom.
