HERO STORIES AND FOLK-TALES 



With Notes on the Origin, Customs and 

 Character of the Pawnee People. 



By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL ("YO.") 



Cloth, 417 pages. Illustrated. Price $2.00. 



In these stories we find examples of self sacrifice, gratitude, bono 4 

 ■ rjd c jriously enough, an idea of the atonement for sin, an intermedial* 

 state, and communication between this and the invisible world. Ml 

 Grinnell's -'Notes." as he modestly calls them, are really. a history of t(jl 

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

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

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



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

 they are related, with a strong feeling for dramatic eff?ct and often will 

 much poetic grace. — Springfield Republican. 



The Indian will become extinct or will be civilized. In either ca?l 

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

 the Pawnees have been rescued and are preserved in this book st tb«j 

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

 Indians.— Howe Journal. 



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

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

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

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



It is an important contribution to folk-lore literature that is especially valuable becaud 

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

 delphia Times. 



This volume is a novelty and a valuable acquisition to American literature Whi] 

 volume upon volume has been written of the lolk-lore and hero stories of other and distaffl 

 nationalites, the Indian (except in some lanciful sketches and romantic poems) has oeen ovej 

 looked. And yet the American Indian is the wisest and shrewdest and most manly of all ttj 

 unlettered people on the globe. This collection, not fanciful, but drawn directly from tb' 

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

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