Not the Girl. Esquiman seal hunter steals bride
A young Esquiman seal hunter, blocked by a breached ice bridge from his intended bride, plans a winter elopement. He stores food for two and, under cover of night, crosses to her igloo, abducts her, and cuts the bridge, eluding pursuit. He then kneels beside her to glimpse her face, effectively stealing his intended father in law.

Slaughter at Pine Ridge and wartime reflections
A well authenticated Pine Ridge slaughter tale recalls an Irish soldier’s last words as he died behind a bank. A squaw sheltered a baby during the firefight, dying as the child was saved. The piece questions war’s meaning and notes similar sentiments across ages. Also quoted are reminiscences of pre-railroad Western touring and concerns about rising insanity among Jews in Prussia per German empire statistics.
