PAWNEE I 



HERO STORIES AND FOLK-TALES,) 



With Notes on the Origin, Customs and 

 Character of the Pawnee People. 



By GEOEGE BIRD GRINNELL ("TO.") 



Cloth, 417 pages. 



Illustrated. 



Price $2.00. 



In these stories we find examples of self sacrifice, gratitude, honor, 

 ?nd curiously enough, an idea of the atonement for sin, an intermediate 

 state, and communication between this and the invisible world. Mr.' 

 Grinnell's "Notes," as he modestly calls them, are really a history of the: 

 tribe, its origin, its relationships, its medicines and mystery, and its 

 present condition and progress. The book is beautifully printed, bound, 

 and illustrated with first-rate drawings.— Hartford Courant. 



The folk-tales are full of magic transformations and mystery, and, 

 they are related with a strong feeling for dramatic effect and often with; 

 much poetic grace.— Springfield Republican. 



The Indian will become extinct or will be civilized. In either ease 

 their stories and myths will pass into oblivion. It is well that those of 

 the Pawnees have been rescued and are preserved in this book so that' 

 generations yet to come shall read Indian tales as Indians told them to 

 Indians. —Bowie Journal. 



Their stories abound with humor, pathos and sentiment. The plan of the book is eom-3 

 prehensive and vividly portrays the Pawnee race from its historic, social and intellectual 

 standpoint. The author has performed a valuable service, and his work will be welcomed 

 and prized as it deserves. —Magazine of American History. 



It is an important contribution to folk-lore literatuie that is especially valuable because 

 of the insight it affords into the origin, customs and character of the Pawnee people.— Phila 

 delphia Times. 



This volume is a novelty and a valuable acquisition to American literature While- 

 volume upon volume has been written of the folk-lore and hero stories of other and distant! 

 nationalises, the Indian (except in some fanciful sketches and romantic poems) has oeen over- 1 

 looked. And yet the American Indian is the wisest and shre wdest and most manly of all the! 

 unlettered pobple on the globe. This collection, not fanciful, but drawn directly from thai 

 Indian oracles, shows that with his heroism and cunning he has wisdom and soul. * * *| 

 The volume is charming upon every page.— Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Canoe and Camp Cookery. 



Bv " SENECA." 



A practical cook book for canoeists, Corinthian sailors and outers. Practical because! 

 the author gives explicit and intelligible directions for preparing such dishes as he has him-: 

 self actually tested in camp and on a cruise. This is just where the recipes differ from thei 

 absurdly impracticable dishes given in some so-called camp cookery books. The cooking 

 outfit is described, and numerous hints on camp economy add to the value of the work
