[Dahcotah by Mary Eastman]@TWC D-Link bookDahcotah CHAPTER IV 9/14
Christians are too apt to give less liberally to the true God.
When White Dog goes to war, he makes this offering. White Dog says he never saw the giant, but that "Iron Members," who died last summer, saw one of the giants several years ago. Iron Members was going hunting, and when he was near Shah-co-pee's village, he met the Giant.
He wore a three-cornered hat, and one side was bright as the sun; so bright one could not look upon it; and he had a crooked thing upon his shoulder. Iron Members was on a hill; near which was a deep ravine, when suddenly his eye rested upon something so bright that it pained him to look at it.
He looked down the ravine and there stood the Giant.
Notwithstanding his position, his head reached to the top of the trees.
