Remarkable citizen names and a chaotic Salt River voyage
A long playful yet critical recount mixes comic child-naming by a Western mother with alarming nature lore and a chaotic political river voyage. The narrator salutes or mocks figures such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, mentions the deadly centipede, then sketches a Whig versus Democratic cruise up Salt River with banners, captains, and political figures like Van Buren, Buchanan, Cass, and Beottz, ending with a lively mass meeting and resolutions.
