the Castle we find a number of forts. Dr. Fewkes says: "The =forts= were
built on the summits, ... and it is an instructive fact in this
connection that one rarely loses sight of one of these hill =forts=
before another can be =seen=." An "approaching foe" could be discerned
and "smoke signals" would warn field-workers "to retreat to the =forts=
for protection."--28th Rept. Bur. Amer. Ethnol., p. 207. (Read also
connected pages for information relating to the forts and their
builders. The same or an allied people erected also houses in natural
caves or excavated them in soft rock."--P. 219. The latter--the
excavated dwellings are noticed in Asiatic books and will be dealt with
in next pamphlet--if such is ever written.)
We have found the "Forts" and also Pimo (or Pima as some pronounce the
name) with its Princess and her child. And have we not found the Gulf
and Canyon referred to by the departed Ancients. Have we not found
everything except perhaps the abandoned imperial Lute? And even it may
yet be recovered. Let it be dug for at the Cliff of the Harp. Perhaps it
may yet be resurrected--
"A Harp that in darkness and silence forsaken
Has slumbered while ages rolled slowly along,
Once more in its own native land may awaken
And pour from its chords all the raptures of song.
"Unhurt by the dampness that o'er it was stealing,
Its strings in full chorus, resounding sublime,
May 'rouse all the ardor of patriot feeling
And gain a bright wreath from the relics of time."
