Abstract

A little known petroglyph site, originally studied by James McBride, is located at the upper end of the Half Moon site, Hancock County, West Virginia, McBride’s drawing and notes, along with the only previously published drawing (Squier and Davis, 1847) of the petroglyph site, which is now under water, are reproduced. The site is not to be confused with the Brown’s Island or Weirton petroglyph site which lies further upstream.
