On one of thier journeys of discovery into the Bodstonian backcountry,
James Forrester and
Adahy come across, what for
James is a strange object.
Adahy explains to
James that it is a Totempole and, he not knowing to which tribe it belonged, could have several reasons for being placed where it is.
Among them, it could be a welcome sign showing the border of a tribes territory or a housepost, the carvings, a sort of heraldry, telling the story of the family or tribe who owned it.
James wonders why it has been abandoned and
Adahy explains that the tribe/Family may have moved, taking the Pole would have been too much effort.
James makes a sketch of the Totempole and the friends continue thier journey of discovery.
