N this book the author gives an intimate view of 

 Indian life in the olden days, reveals the great diversity 

 of language, dress, and habits among them, and shows 

 how every important act of their lives was influenced 

 by spiritual beliefs and practices. 



The book tells the story of Kukusim, an Indian lad 

 who is eagerly awaiting the time when he shall be a 

 warrior. It is full of mythical lore and thrilling adven- 

 tures, culminating in the mountain vigil, when Kukusim 

 hears the spirit voices which mark the passing of his 

 childhood.
