Ancient Utah legends and a petrified child tale emerge
The article compiles Native American lore about long lost landscapes near a warm lake north of a great river, later shifted to the south, and the arrival of white contacts who taught crafts. It also notes a petrified child case near Joe Kinnley’s family, a 1520 automated chess toy in London, and a Michigan journal quip on etiquette and love norms.

Breyfogle Myth of a Rich Mine Traced to Confederate Prospectors
A Las Vegas area myth of Breyfogle's mine near Death Valley prompted a long chase by prospectors led by an Austin resident. In the 1860s, a Nevada party headed south to join Confederate forces, following a prospector who claimed a rich lead lay on a distant western slope. The tale spread through several years of hardship, but no mine was ever found.
