You may note that this historical marker is located nearly a mile away from that which it is meant to describe, the intersection of two Indian treaty lines. This might seem odd, unless you know the story of Big Cedar James and the Treaty Lines.....you see, the treaty lines used to intersect right where that sign sits. The story goes that Big Cedar James used to frequent the cabin that still stands today just down the road southwest of this spot. From time to time he would overnight with this frontier family, do chores for his room and board, and generally considered said family his own. Well, during one such visit, the aforementioned family stated to Big Cedar James that they thought it was a shame that the beautiful, well-watered, deer-filled glen where the marker now stands belongs to the Indians.....and how much they wished those lines could intersect just a little more to the north so they could claim this beautiful spot for themselves. The next morning, as that frontier family looked on, Big Cedar James wrenched those treaty lines from the ground with a mighty groan, hoisted them on to his broad iron back, and took 42 giant, earth-shaking strides north...moving the intersecting treaty lines one full mile.
