Indian Legends and Other Poems
There is an artless tradition among the Indians, related by Irving, of a warrior who saw the thunderbolt lying
upon the ground, with a beautifully wrought moccasin on each side of it. Thinking he had found a prize, he
put on the moccasins, but they bore him away to the land of spirits, whence he never returned.
