GOLD RUSH BRIDES | |
Follow the typical signs, the hand-painted lines, down prairie roads. | |
Pass the lone church spire. | |
Pass the talking wire from where to who knows? | |
There's no way to divide the beauty of the sky from the wild western plains. | |
Where a man could drift, in legendary myth, by roaming over spaces. | |
The land was free and the price was right. | |
Dakota on the wall is a white-robed woman, broad yet maidenly. | |
Such power in her hand as she hails the wagon man's family. | |
I see indians that crawl through this mural that recalls our history. | |
Who were the homestead wives? | |
Who were the gold rush brides? | |
Does anybody know? | |
Do their works survive their yellow fever lives in the pages they wrote? | |
The land was free, yet it cost their lives. | |
In miner's lust for gold. A family's house was bought and sold, piece by piece. | |
A widow staked her claim on a dollar and his name, so painfully. | |
In letters mailed back home her eastern sisters they would moan | |
As they would read accounts of madness, childbirth, loneliness and grief. |
