Here's the text behind the card, which speaks of the legend behind the Ruby falls shown in the card:
'' Indian Legend of Lover's Leap
Sautee was a brave from a tribe that was feuding with the Cherokee Indians. Nacoochee, the Evening Star, was the beautiful daughter of the chief of Cherokees. The two met and found a beautiful and strong love. When Nacoochee's father discovered this love, he condemned Sautee to death by being thrown from the precipice of Lookout Mountain. Nacochee was forced to witness his death and was so distressed, she leaped from the cliff to her death. From that day forward this cliff became known as the Lover's Leap.''
