"When I was old enough to go out hunting and fishing, he used to take me different places up and down Sacramento and McCloud rivers. My father pointed out and told me of the mountains where good and evil spirits live and also in places on along the rivers. My father told me when I grow up to be man to follow same ways as his. He told me be always with the good spirits when up on mountains and up and down these rivers."
