Back of Card reads: THE REVERSING FALLS LEGEND
In the long ago beaver dammed the mouth of the Saint John river. It made a big pond for him, but it also flooded the homes of many other animals, as muskrat and duck. Glooscap was called upon to save his many animal friends from the selfish beaver. Part of the tapestry design shows Glooscap chopping away as beaver sits glumbly by. His axe is in a split rock which you can see at the base of the falls when the tide is low.
Original tapestry, 4' x 6', at Travel Bureau, Reversing Falls.
Designed by Marjory Donaldson and woven by Ivan H. Crowell.
