The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Town of the Snake-girls, sentence 8

In history we know no more of the pueblo than that it was once there, but had been abandoned already when Coronado passed in 1540; but my aboriginal friends and fellow-citizens of Shee-eh-whíb-bahk have an interesting legend of the pueblo of Poo-reh-tú-ai and the cause which led to its abandonment.

Who acts: we, pueblo, Coronado, aboriginal friends, cause · What happens: know, be, abandon, pass, have, lead · To what, where: more, history, 1540, interesting legend
