Scope and content
- Now called Face Rock, rather than The Sphinx--Local legend says that Face Rock is the face of an Indian maiden that was frozen into stone by an evil spirit. The Cat and Kittens Rock nearby are her animals that were thrown into the sea and turned to stone by the same evil spirit. Her anger is so great she refuses to look at him, so her face remains resolutely turned towards the sky. circa 1910.
- Printed on front: The Sphinx, Bandon Beach, Oregon.
