"According to Indian legend, when the Great Creator made the Earth and had finished placing the stars in the sky, the birds in the air, and the fish in the sea, there was a large pile of rejected stony materials left over.  He threw this material into one heap and made the Big Bend." - Ross A. Maxwell, The Big Bend of the Rio Grande
