Devil's Chair
| Text on front reads: "The Dalles of the St. Croix River, Wisconsin." Elevated view of the St. Croix River showing the rock formation "Devil's Chair" in the center. Text on the reverse: "DEVIL'S CHAIR-One of the most picturesque of the famous Dalles of the St. Croix. Through the action of water in bygone ages, the rocks were fashioned into the shape of a gigantic chair. Why it should be assigned to the devil is past understanding, for nothing in the beautiful surroundings suggest the infernal regions." |
