People often ask, “How did you come up with that name?”

The name, Shade of the Cottonwood, relates to Plains Indian legend. Many of the indigenous people of the Plains believed the shadow of plants and animals possessed a power or intelligence, especially the shadow of cottonwoods. These towering trees line the streams and creeks amid a seemingly endless sea of tallgrass prairie.
