In school only a portion of this "poem" was taught. It came to mind one day and I could not remember what came after "stood the wigwam of Nokomis". So I started a search for the poem and found a book. I am thrilled to be able to read the whole work and not just a few lines.
The condition of the book was excellent. Thanks again Alibris;.
