The Legend of Wapsipinicon

The Legend of Wapsipinicon is not only written as an

historical/fiction novella, but also with other literary elements.

With the implementation of time travel,

characters were given the vehicle of expedition into the future.

The characters depth could be enhanced by

his or her Christian values and beliefs.

Poetry and prose is my style of sententious writing which offers a

variety for readers. Few words with

more meaning gives me the opportunity to cover events, quickly but critically.

Since Quasqueton is only a few miles from my house, I call

this area my home. It was an honor for

me to write about historical individuals, whose names were immortalized by this

beautiful river. It’s beauty is equally

shared by the people who also call this lovely location home.

I received much assistance from certain people who were

named in this novel. Unfortunately, all

the people of this great area could not be mentioned, but their spirits were

represented in this writing. A special

thank you to all of the citizens of Quasky for keeping your town alive and well

for so many years. You have much to be

proud of and especially your generosity of sharing it with others.
