From "A Look at Boulder from Settlement to City," by Phyllis Smith, 1981.
In 1852, the John Snodgrass family of KY was overtaken by indians en route to Oregon. Indians killed Mrs Snodgrass and kidnapped her daughter Josephine who was called "Gypsy" or "Gyp" by her family. She escaped near the green rocks at the mouth of Sunshine Canyon but she was cut down by an arrow before she could reach safety. Her name "Gyp" is carved on the rock and and can still be seen today.
