Summary

[edit]
Description

(1 in a multiple picture album) The Shoshone Tribe tells us this: A thunderbird grabbed a Crow Indian by his hair and took him to 'Overlook Mountain' and placed him in a nest. The thunderbird told the Crow that he wanted him to help him fight the giant water beast that lived in Yellowstone Lake and which ate the thunderbird’s young. The Crow built a large fire to heat rocks which he could use to boil the water.

When the beast came out of the lake and climbed up the mountainside, the Crow pitched hot rocks and hot water into its mouth. Steam came out of the monster’s mouth and it tumbled d own the mountainside and into the lake. Thereafter, the beast’s steaming mouth and heated body caused the landscape to erupt in hot springs and steam vents.
