Description

Minneapolis, Minn.:: Lund Press,, 1937. Disreputable chipped, soiled dust jacket in plastic cover; book condition quite good: binding tight; contents clean, apparently little--if ever--used.. With 3 full-pg. photos of locations + several full-pg. & in-text drawings. Poems from `a long life lived through the early pioneer days & since in Wisconsin & Minnesota...poems & verses have come largely from the conditions, scenery & people met with,' such as `Feeding the Kids'; `The Seven Rhymes of Allerton'; `The Cahoot-Owl Club'; `The Story of Slicker MacPeat'; `Legend of Wan-na-han & Singing Heart.' ||| At end, 8-pg. prose note tells facts underlying `Legend'--the June 1839 meeting at Fort Snelling between Chippewa (Ojibwa) & Sioux (Dakota) Indians--hereditary enemies--that began peacefully but turned violent as Sioux braves avenged the murder of their warrior by Chippewa.
