Black Hawk's Head
Image
Text on front reads: "Black Hawk's Head, Picturesque Wisconsin Dells." On reverse: "Perhaps in no other place in America does Nature offer such a lavish array of natural wonders as in the Wisconsin Dells. Black Hawk's Head, or Great Stone Face as the Indians first named it, is an interesting example of Nature's ability as a sculptor. If you look closely you will see an almost perfect profile of a human head." A rock formation on the bank of the tree-lined Wisconsin River.
August 26, 1950
