Publisher's Synopsis
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 men tioned. 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. (3055 gave 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.
