Only 2 copies located by OCLC.Squaw Rock is now called Frog Woman Rock and it is a distinctive volcanic monolith located in Mendocino County California in the Russian River canyon through the California Coast Ranges. In 1956 Squaw Rock was designated California Historical Landmark number 549 with a description based upon Palmer's 1880 Mendocino County History: "This early landmark also called Lover's Leap is associated with the purported legend of a 19th-century Sanel Indian maiden Sotuka. Her faithless lover Chief Cachow married another; all three were killed when Sotuka holding a great stone jumped from the precipice upon the sleeping pair below" State of California Office of Historic Preservation. Frog Woman is an important figure in Pomo traditional beliefs. She is generally portrayed as the clever and powerful wife of Coyote the principal trickster character in many Pomo stories. In some of the stories she is the mother of Obsidian Man. Frog Woman lived at the place that later became known as Squaw Rock. Pomo people avoided the rock for fear of being eaten by Frog Woman. "Helen McCowen Carpenter 1838-1917 grew up in Indiana and when a teenager graduated from the Bloomingdale Quaker Academy with a teaching credential. In 1855 Helen moved with her family to Kansas Territory where she began her professional career at age 17. Kansas was in political turmoil as it prepared to enter the Union and the McCowens who were staunch abolitionists worked to make it a “free†state rather than one that allowed slavery. Helen met her future husband who was also on the abolitionist side when Aurelius Ormando Carpenter was wounded fighting for the free-state movement at the “Battle of Black Jack†an altercation that is now considered the first military engagement leading up to the Civil War. After helping nurse Aurelius to health Helen and he married on Christmas Day in 1856. Five months later the newlyweds traveled west to California in an ox wagon train with Helen’s parents and other family members. Helen was four months pregnant with her first child when they arrived in Grass Valley California in October 1857. Within two years the Carpenters and McCowens had moved further west to Potter Valley in Mendocino County where other relatives were already settled. There Helen became the first teacher certified by the new County Board of Education and worked as an educator for the next decade. in 1869 the Carpenters relocated to Ukiah the county seat. There they established a photography studio where Helen assisted her husband “A.O.†by running the studio and taking portraits during his extended work-related absences as a newspaperman and traveling photographer. Her admiration for the beautiful basketry of the Pomo Indians led her to become a respected Pomo basket collector; an avocation she passed on to her daughter Grace and son-in-law John Hudson. A prolific writer whose work is now enjoying increased recognition Helen wrote and published articles and stories on the customs and history of the local Pomo Indian peoples and early pioneer days in Potter Valley and Ukiah" Grace Huson Museum The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway unknown
