Book Description

This marked the grave of the white woman, ' as she was popularly called, Mary Jemison1 The stone was partly broken and the inscription defaced, for so strange was the story of the ancient sleeper that strangers visiting the place, and wishing to carry away mementoes of their visit, had dared to chip off considerable portions of the marble.
