If you folks come up to settle, you'll be on the other side of the river," he said, with unsmiling candor. "That's near enough three or four miles, anyway." Fort Riley is about ten miles from Manhattan, at the forks of the Kaw.
He had resigned the office of Chief Executive of Kansas to take command of our regiment. The lustre of the military pageantry began to fade by the time we had crossed the Wakarusa divide, and the capital city, nestling in its hill-girt valley by the side of the Kaw, was lost to our view.
Two raincaped watch approach, silent, vigilant. THE WATCH: Bloom. Of Bloom. For Bloom. Bloom. FIRST WATCH: Caught in the act. Commit no nuisance. THE GULLS: Kaw kave kankury kake.

"I am shaved," answered he. "Is thy daughter mine now?" "She is thine," said he, "but therefore needest thou not thank me, but Arthur who hath accomplished this for thee.
Vistas of sheer cliff and stretches of the muddy on-sweeping Missouri and the full-bosomed Kaw, with scrubby timbered ravines and growing groves of forest trees, offered themselves at every turn.
