Tokiwa And Other Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from Kaw-Wau-Nita, and Other Poems The incident related in the closing of the Poem, Kaw-Wau-Nita, was told me in the month of May, 1859, by C. J. Goss, Esq., in company with whom I made a trip from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to Boulder City, Colorado, in the season just mentioned. We had camped one night on the banks of a small stream, on the very ground, as I was informed, where the closing scene of the Poem was enacted, and from which the stream took the name of Rawhide Creek. It was while there that Mr. Goss gare me the facts of the case, which facts are known to many of those who crossed the Plains in the early golden days of California. It may be considered an over-drawn picture, but a reality is a reality; and, though a fabric of romance may be woven around it, still the romance can never do away with a fact.
