To the memory of Miss Cora E. Drew (1864-1877)

I first met Cora on a dark, rainy night during the month of December, 1992, when her name jumped out at me from a microfilmed page of the April 26, 1877 issue of the old Watsonville Pajaronian. It was affixed to the bottom of an eleven stanza poem, the words of which inspired me to begin this collection.
