That has always been one of my favorite poems and I was afraid that I would misplace or lose it and that is why I posted it here, so it will be forever here for anyone to read. I wish I knew who the author was, but the pamphlet that I got it from in the early 1960's had Author Unknown beneath the poem. It is truly a beautiful poem and as an arrowhead hunter, I can truly appreciate the significance of the poem and it's author.Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379385.post-76258102252285433202014-02-22T20:30:26.393-05:002014-02-22T20:30:26.393-05:00Hello, here it is 2014 and I see that this blog ab...Hello, here it is 2014 and I see that this blog about the arrowheads and the poem started a while ago. Just want to say a big THANKS for the poem. My friend Will found arrowheads on his farm in Missouri and was able to quote the beginning of this poem. I have searched all afternoon and finally lucked upon your site and will be able to surprise him with the entire poem.What a find!

Anywhere that's easiest for your computer to load is fine with me. <br />I enjoy calling you on the spur of the moment. It's always nice listening to your stories. I told Jimmy about your senior moment (belt) and he told me about the last two he's had in the last few days. He was sorry he missed your call, but he was busy looking for the car at Walmart and that's why he was gone so long. (He drove the jeep). I think all three of us can't be trusted to go out alone, hahaha. love you,me<br /><br />ps...remember you can go back to the other page if you like and leave your comment there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379385.post-1146198030432161912006-04-28T00:20:00.000-04:002006-04-28T00:20:00.000-04:00Sandy, I loved this post and the poem, which conju...Sandy, I loved this post and the poem, which conjures up images of long lost hunter/warriors.

It really does reach in and touch the soul.<BR/><BR/>I have one arrowhead that I found back in my early 20's, while wandering in my FIL's plowed fields. We were looking for agates, which are pretty common in my part of WI....brought in by glacieral drift.<BR/>My arrowhead is about the color that you use for your "titles" here on your blog.<BR/>It's one of those odd things that you hang on to, but really have no use for. Same with my agates. I've never had them tumble polished or cut, I just keep the rock the way I found it. People don't do much of that kind of wandering anymore, do they??Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20379385.post-1145717106579885092006-04-22T10:45:00.000-04:002006-04-22T10:45:00.000-04:00LZ...that's funny.
