A Boston Transcript poem depicts a little girl nicknamed Little Dirty-Face, her mother cleansing her with care, while the speaker notes the dirt is superficial and friendship and love shine through. The verse praises the child’s pure soul despite a dirt-smudged face and celebrates parental pride and affection.
A spear man brings clams to the headman and offers the white girl as tie to marriage. The headman defeats the nimble youth with the axe, and the girl becomes the headman’s wife.

The scene unfolds with stark tribal custom and brutal justice on a sunlit heath.
