Record #:

Author(s):
Free, William Joseph
;
Reeve, Jewell B.
Abstract:
The Native American lore commonly known as “Lover’s Leap,” takes a more local spin which centers on a young Cherokee woman, Lucy, who drowned herself in a pond when the object of her admiration did not reciprocate her feelings.
