The text was copied verbatim from http://www.bridalcave.com/about_us.htm, where it is sourced to "Indian Romances" by Col. R.G. Scott. Google Books says that this book was published by a company called "Meador" in 1933. A search at AbeBooks shows that this company is/was in Boston, Massachusetts. And List of countries' copyright lengths says that the text is copyrighted for 95 years from its publication. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:00, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
