TARGET: Legend in Where the Red Fern Grows

[Sharon Koontz <koontzs@hit.net>]

I have a teacher who has assigned students to research a legend... any
legend.  One 4th grade boy wants to find out more about the Indian legend
referred to in Wilson Rawls' book "Where the Red Fern Grows".( A young
Indian boy and girl freeze to death; in that very spot a red fern springs
from the earth.)  It looks like an impossible task, but I'm so delighted the
boy remembered this detail from the book (it was read to him as a second
grader).... and to be honest it also has me curious.  Any ideas or
collective wisdom on this particular legend out there??

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
