Deadly Eyes at Randolph Bluffs Legend
A Kansas City Journal account recalls the Randolph bluffs near the Missouri river where a rock formation resembling a demon head, called Deadly Eyes, inspired fear among tribes. Beaver Tail, a Shawnee suitor, visited the idol to seek an answer, fasted nine days, and perishing after a moonlit vision, his brains splattered as he leaped from the bluff.

Tale of Bowen and the Quaker birth daughter
In 1870 William D Bowen wed Elizabeth Rogers a Philadelphia Quakeress who died in childbirth. Bowen refused to meet the child but let a Quaker couple raise her. Fifteen years later he died leaving a large estate and the daughter, now learning her lineage, discovers $100000 awaiting her. If he hated the child for causing her mother’s death, he must have hated himself as the author of her being.
