Ooy :- Doe Library Berkeley, California Dear Doctor Coy: . ~ * The May 'Nugget' arriTed a few moments ago. In glancing through it I confess to a sinking feeling when I struck the story of 21 Capitan, entitled 'The Rock of the Measuring Worm'. It certainly is a pity to perpetuate and disseminate such utter nonsense es this yam of old Hutchinga. The name of 21 Capitan in the language of the Yosemite Indians is not 'Tultokana', but is'To-to-kon oo-l8'. from 'To-to-kan-no* the Sandhill Crane. Instead of meaning â¢Measuring wora\ it it named for the Sandhill Crane, one of the greet Chief? of the ?ir«t People, who. after he had been transformed into a bird, built hit nest on top of El Capitan. .â In your letter of June 3 you mention that you are unable to find the publication â¢Qut-of-Doors*. It is published by the Teraalpais Club and has been itsued irregularly for a number of ye rs. If I find a duplicate of the number containing my article on natire Indian names in the Tamalpais region, I will send it to you. j4vA>^j^|>^il| ruuSs. w^ Very truly jrours, _ _ _ _ _ ** â *"' ^.
