Alone in a crypt in the face of the northern cliff of the Tyuonyi canon, now known by its Spanish 
n am e, Rito de los Frijoles, in New Mexico—the home of an ancient cliff-dwelling people—was 
found the skeleton of an Indian maiden about eighteen years of age. The body was wrapped 
in cotton cloth and covered with a robe of fur and feathers. This suggested the poem, “The 
Cliff Maiden,” p. 91.
