In 1873 the party of Capt. William A. Jones reported that 'throughout the Wind River country of Wyoming many pictographs have been found, and others reported by the Shoshoni Indians.' Thus the Dinwoody petroglyphs and those in the surrounding area have been known for three-quarters of a century, and yet were not even surveyed for archaeological purposes until 1938 and 1939. This, of course, is typical of the fate of petroglyphs over most of North America. Only during the last twenty years has any attention been given by competent archaeologists to the subject of 'Indian Writing.' There is no need to draw attention to the 'interpretation' of these rock drawings by amateur speculators, for Steward's chastisement of them would be difficult to equal
