Will the real petrified indian please come forward? In researching for this phenomenon I found more than one petrified indian, but this picture seems to fit the possibility that it is the works of Alva B Weeks. For one thing, this indian was photographed at Strausenback’s Post at the Garden of the Gods. To read how Strausenback acquired the indian, see http://webspace.webring.com/people/vu/um_5232/fattys.html. But, there is no way to know for certain if this is the one that Alva Weeks carved.
