Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Basket, or the Journal of the Basket Fraternity or Lovers of Indian, 1903
Not far away from the foot of Yosemite falls is an Indian camp, and there I found three acorn caches. They are perched upon stilts and are of rude basket-work, an opening being left near the bottom through which the store can easily be reached.
When I visited the Monos, I found there an acorn cache of differ ent construction. It was perched on stilts, as were the Yosemite ones, but these supported a rude platform of crossed logs, on which the cache proper rested. It is a pyramidal structure and was erected in front of the cottage door, so that it could be constantly watched. Like the Yosemite caches, it is of rudely twined twigs, but this, when full, was covered over with canvas so as to protect it completely from the weather.
