NOTE
The following account of a youthful adventure was written during thewinter of 1908, ran as a serial in Putnam's Magazine the followingyear, and appeared as a book in 1910, five years before "The Song ofHugh Glass," the first piece of my Western Cycle. Many who have caredfor my narrative poems, feeling the relation between those and thisearlier avowal of an old love, have urged that "The River and I" bereprinted.
