Throughout the book, De Voe weaves together historical facts and local lore to create a vivid and engaging portrait of this important waterway and the people who have lived along its banks for centuries. Whether you are a history buff, a lover of folklore, or simply someone who appreciates a good story, ""Legends of the Kaw"" is sure to captivate and entertain you.The Ski-di band offered human sacrifices to the morning star. A young captive, taken in war, was selected and fattened, being treated kindly during the days of preparation. He was permitted to know nothing of the fate in store, until the four days' feast and dance. Old men at the ends of the village called upon each male person to prepare bow and arrow and be ready for the sacrifice. When the fatal day arrived, every woman had a lance or stick, and every man held a pipe in one hand and bow and arrow in the other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
