Excerpt from The Dying Indian's Dream: A Poem It will be thus seen that the following Poem is not a Work of fiction. It aims to relate - with some license of imagination, of course, else it would not be poetry - a plain historical fact. The description of Paul's skill and knowledge as a hunter, and in managing their frail little water - crafts in a sea, is literally true of many of the In dians, and was true of him. His peace of mind in com mitting his family into the hands of God, after he found himself disabled, having burst a blood vessel by carrying a large load. From which he never recovered - he related to me: and this is expressed in the prayer put into his mouth at the close, which we did not fully hear or share. It may be added that after the Poem was written, I read it to the Indian who gave me the account of John Paul's death. And as he spoke the English language well, he had no difficulty in understanding it. And he assured me that it described the scene correctly.
