Logan LeCompte, a Seventh Grade

Legend of DEVILS Tower on the Gus
ter Battlefield Highway as told in
the verse.
DEVILS Tower
Once three lovely Indian maidens,
Daughters of the Chief WatOsa,
Left their fathers lofty wigwam,
Wandered from the tribal village,
They wandered far to gather oflwers
LllCJ lOlul llGu LlldI llGIB
Causing many anxious hours;
Ere they appeared in sight.
While the maidens picked blossoms,
Wit no thought of work or cares,
Suddenly one of them whispered
DO you see those three big bears?"
Up the rock they started clombing,
Just as fast as they could go;
Then the Gods came to their rescue,
Making the rocks grow and grow
The higher the bears climbed,
The higher the rocks did grow
At last they became exhausted,
And fell to their death below,
The maidens, now so happy,
Made chain from their flowers;
And came down, one by one,
From the top of DEVILS Tower.
