Excerpt from Adventures in Reading
Tall plumes surmount a painted mask of death. - Elinor Wylie.
Deep in the subconscious Of most North Americans lurks a woman frightened Of Indians, a man watchful for Sliding Shapes as he tracks through the forest. Some Of us can even yet remember our elders' tales of Indian raids; a great many Of us inherit family leg ends Of tragedy and courage in pioneering which we cherish more fondly than Spode or mahogany. Long years Of border warfare left a. Somber red stain that soaked through all the layers Of our national memory. The Museum Of the American Indian in New York City has an inexhaustible fascination; there the imagination is released to wander at will in the forests Of early recollection, where Fenimore Cooper Indians slink through Shadowy trees.
