This is a presentation of an article entitled “The “Rock River” Story” by Roman W. Szechowycz in the Loris Magazine, Vol. 8 No. 6 December, 1960. Page 348. Its presentation here has been made feasible by my Aloysian pal KK De Silva. I have underlined aspects of this account with highlights.
Let me stress here that Roman Szechowycz’s searching eye and mind leaves me amazed. This essay links the landscape to its medieval and ancient history and dwells on the history of Sinhalese civilization in revealing manner.
