Beasts of the Angarik and the Golden River Tale
The text describes a hornless tame beast with long ears and woolly hide, living with people in harmony. They claim vast gold deposits near Milly, a river meaning Golden Rivers, and an expedition to Mississippi with promises of returning in 30 moons bearing porcelain and other treasures. Dutch and French observers debate the tale’s truth, noting hopes of gold and the danger of belief in a grand fraud.
