COMMENTS: Rock On
The Indian Head Rock was once a sight to see in the Ohio River. The boulder had a face carved in it, reputedly by Indians, and was an attraction for C19th Portsmoth Ohio residents, halfway between Ohio and Kentucky. Then a dam was built and the river valley flooded and the boulder was lost. Steve Shaffer, of Portsmouth, spent three summers of scuba diving along the river bottom until he found that Indian Head and hoisted it out. It now stands on view in Portsmouth's municipal garage. Steve Hartman showed it to us on CBS' Assignment America. The problem, Hartman explained, is that the rock was taken from a part of the river that is in Kentucky. Shaffer may have landed it on the wrong bank.
