But who is the onlooker and for whom does he keep vigil? Though from warring tribes, Mohawk maiden Minerwa enchants Chief Pemigewasset, and with their union comes peace for many years. But when Minerwa leaves to visit her dying father, Pemigewasset must stay behind. Denise Ortakales recounts the legend of Chief Pemigewasset, whose steadfast love and devotion to his wife is forever honored in his profile on the mountainside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDenise Ortakales graduated from the Art Institute of Boston, where she studied illustration and children's literature. Having grown up in the shadow of the Old Man, it was natural for her to write about it as a school assignment. Years later, when the granite formation fell, she knew it was time to share that story with others. This is her first book as an author. She has illustrated several picture books, including \"Carrot in My Pocket\"and \"Good Morning, Garden.\" Denise lives in Laconia, NH, with her husband and two sons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist Robert Crawford graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design.
