Just beyond the USGS bolder there is a large grouping of boulders, many of which have informative placards mounted on them. I didn't read them all but these three were interesting. The sign reads: In the late spring or early summer of 1830, a ten year old girl, Lydia Shultz, was living with her family on the slopes of Negro Mountain. Lydia was sent to the woods, as was the custom, to gather the cows. When she didn't return, neighbors went searching for the child. Months went by until she was eventually found. She had been living off the land, eating berries and other foods nature provides. The child had become quite wild, at times hiding from the searchers.
