Shannon $18.99 From the opening of SHANNON, an epic poem examining one man’s experience of the Lewis and Clarke expedition:It is a fine & open country in every aspect hereabouts. The very prairie, grasslands, thicketsOr brakes along the several streams with elk & deer largely therein. Of those legendary buffalo first sighted& shot by J. Fields this week, alasNone discovered by me as yet this day or lastWhilst tracking runaway horses.Those two did flee as if unwilling ever to be caught But I came upon them at evening yesterdayDrinking water in a sandy drawWell-trampled by hoof-marks dark as bruisesSure evidence of buffalo in great plenty.In the event the fugitives appearedNot unhappy at sight of me. Found their hobble ropes trailingWhich I did retie forcefullyPleased as I am by this outcome.It was my hope to recover these horses & so demonstrate my worth In such regard to the Capts. generally-I do not misdoubt them, only certain statementsOverheard among the company concerning My youth & stature as a hunter, which I deem false. Last time I did kill an elk buck yet R. Fields Brought in five deer to top it. So it wasI importuned the Capts. to set me this errand Those Fields Brothers having done so Previously, nor did I aim to disappoint them.Why should youth count against a manIn this Missouri country? Eighteen & years in the backwoodsI am a better hunter than most back home & this a newer landNor Capt. Lewis nor Clark Hoary greybeards Yet Pres. Jefferson saw fit to appoint them Command of this Expedition. Well It is done & the horses recovered at any rateBy myself alone. |
