January, 2004: View of the village of Tamanend in Quakake
Valley looking north to Spring Mountain. It got its name from the Indian
marauder "Taman". He was supposedly caught and hanged nearby,
thus "Taman's End". Taman also contributed his name to the
political organization in New York City called Tammany Hall. |
