Naming a Kansas River.

Practically all the streams in Kansas
were named by Indians and carry those
names to this day, though in an Angli-
cized form.
The Neosho. the largest stream in
southeast Kansas, has its own little
story. The Usage Indians at one time
lived IN Missouri, and when they began
talking of trading their lands in that
state and moving to southern Kansas a
party was sent out to look the country
over and make a report on It. 1t was
in the summer time and very hot and
dry. Coming over the prairie northeast
Of Humboldt. they had a long way to
travel without water
when they arrived at the river"
said an Oswego man, IAN Indian rode
down the sloping bank into the water.
But TO his surprise. the horse stepped
right of into deep water. and the horse
and Indian went in all over. AS the
aborigine clambered back on the bank
he muttered. 'Wugh Neosho.' This in
plain English means water pocket. or
water hole. and the name clung to the
stream ever afterward. Hutchinson
