Caddo Legend
The favor of the Great Spirit rested on the abundant forest, flowers, songbirds, and small animals of these quiet hills.
Then a fierce dragon devastated the land, bringing disease and hunger on the people.
The Indian Nations pleaded with the Great Spirit to subdue the dragon, and the might of all the heavenly forces contrived to bury it deep under the mountain, where it shakes the earth even today.
Once the Great Spirit had reclaimed his beautiful resting spot, he caused pure water to gush from the earth, and asked that his favorite place be held neutral ground, so all can share in the healing waters.
