KA'-LUM-ME THE ROCK GIANT OF WENNOK VALLEY

The Olayome of Putah Creek say:

In a cave under the cliff on the east face of Oo'-tel-tal-lah pow'-we, a small mountain southwest of the south end of Wennok Lake in Lake County, dwells Kā'-lum-me the Rock Giant. He used to roam about nights, catching Indians and carrying them off to his cave to eat. He has not done this for some time.
