Tales of the North American Indians

"No other primitive people has such an extensive and accurate record of its myths, tales, and legends as the North American Indians," Mr. Thompson states in his Introduction; and his thorough and impressive assemblage of Indian tales--offered here for the first time in paperback form--leaves no doubt as to the truth of his statement.  First recorded by European settlers of the New World in the 1600's, the tales have remained unchanged up to the prest time.

This is a book of interest not only to the student of folklore, but to the general reader as well, because the tales are both interesting in themselves and indigenous to our "native Americans."
