Stories of Indian legend and duck hunting misadventure
The excerpt recounts James Beckworth describing a Crow war chief's levitation omen before battle and a hunting tale of ducks stuck with a ramrod, plus notes on the Erie Canal first cargo, sin-eating in old rites, and a new rubber velvet material. Names include Medicine Calf, Crow Nation, and Captain Houghton.
