Tom Cardiff�������s Circus begins: Where the creek turned in a snakelike bend to the west, gurgling its crooked way through the Onondaga Indian reservation, and on a shelving bank leading down to the water, stood a small, unpainted cabin, or shack, built of log-slabs discarded from the sawmill. As the red sun sank lower and lower behind the hills that girt the valley in a long ridge, running north and south, an aged man tottered to the door of the hut. Shading his feeble eyes with a brown and sinewy hand, Red Eagle gazed down the road that led to the village of Cardiff.
