br /
/>
- wrote it when he was 17 with all information
stories he heard:
- died in the west (utah) few months b4 he was born (plausible)
- everyone said he was a painter (paintings at wall / landscapes)
- aunt: fallen off a sliff
- uncle: indians rescued him

- live in harmony
Wild Men from other Side of the World killed them (bearded ones) with thunder and lighting sticks
Humans and Others split - travel westwards - wild men follow
Discover "Flat World" - "Land In The Sky" - "Land of Little Water" (wild men refused to live there)
