[edit] W. J. Keith quote
I've restored the W. J. Keith quote that was deleted. It seems to help illustrate the differences of opinion mentioned in the "Criticism and Influence" section, and its source is cited, so I don't see how it could be considered not valid. Andrew Sly 22:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Siwash Rock is the subject of one of the best of Johnson's Legends of Vancouver collection of stories; the tale is about virtue, and about resolve on its behalf in the face of certain death and the implacable will of the divine. It never occurred to me before reading this article why it was that her monument was near it...or is it? I have it in my head that it's over by Brockton Point, which is on the opposite side of the park...just checked the Wiki page but it and other monuments in the park are not listed, and they're not listed on the Parks Board website page either; nor is there a map, or much in the way of history at that site....hmmmmm....I'll be back.Skookum1 07:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Apparently it's at Ferguson Point somewhere, by the restaurant. She reqested to be buried within sight of the rock. Curiously, she also requested that no monument be erected in her honour.Bobanny 09:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
