I don't think that should be confused with the stone. See
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/9318/knutson.html for the words
of the slightly unreliable Charles Moore on the subject. In this case
he seems to have things more or less according to general
understanding when he wrote:
"In 1738, Pierre Gautier de Varennes, Sieur de Verendrye (b. 1683
at Trois Rivieres, Quebec), took an expedition from his forts in
present-day Manitoba into what is now North Dakota, in search of
a rumoured tribe of "white, blue-eyed Indians"--the now-extinct
Mandans. Along the banks of the Missouri River La Verendrye
found a stone cairn with a small stone tablet inscribed on both
sides with unfamiliar characters. Later, Jesuit scholars in Quebec
described the writing on the stone as "Tartarian"--a runic script
similar to Norse runes. In 1749, Professor Peter Kalm of the
Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences interviewed Captain La
Verendrye in Quebec about his discovery on the midwestern plains."
