lived and moved and had his being in Cal
ifornia during the strenuous days of the
gold diggers, does not matter particularly
to Pike county people, In that county, at
any rate, there are many persons who thor
oughly believe that Joe Bowers existed.
Some believe that he was man by that
name, while others hold that the incidents
related in the verses formed the sad expe-
rience of a Piker whose identity was OBJ
scured by the bard in the selection OF a
fictitious name The majority Of those
who belong to the older generation are
aware of the semimythical character of the
late Mr.. Bowers (who presumably has
crossed the great divide ere this) but there
are great many younger persons to whom
the story of Joe Bowers is a matter of
county history, just as that Of Robert Bruce
to the Scot or Nathan Hale to the New
Highlander. They have heard of Joe Bow
ers from their infancy, and it never occurs
to them to question his actuality.
In communication to President Fran
els of the world fair relative to the build
ing, the Pike county committee set forth
that Joe Bowers has not onl y made his
home county famous, but has given to
Missouri striking appellatiOn for her citi-
zens, who are known as "Pikers wher-
ever they GO As matter of fact, in the
early days Pike county comprised very
large section of Northern Missouri, so that
it became known facetiously as ''the state
of Pike. Thousands of men went from
that section to California to prospect for
gold, and all were called Pikers.
