Excerpt from Lorado Taft's Indian Statue "Black Hawk": An Account of the Unveiling Ceremonies at Eagles' Nest Bluff, Oregon, Illinois, July 1st, 1911, Frank O. Lowden PresidingSinmssippi (rock Water). From the site of the statue the bluffs, river-bends, islands and forest make it the natural center of a diversified topography not common in the level, fertile corn belt of northern Illinois. Ganymede Spring, at the foot of the bluff, was so named by Margaret, Fuller, then liter ary editor of the New York Tribune, on a Visit here in who, under a cedar still standing near the statue, wrote one of her poems, and, in her interesting At Home and Abroad, gives a vivid glimpse of her outlook from there. The people of Oregon, from the first a representative American community, in turn, out of hospitality to the brilliant transcendentalist, named the island of primal forest, which the statue commands, Margaret Fuller Island.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
