pages. Blustrated. Price, $1.75. New edition, revised. Like 
most Indian tribes, the Pawnees are story tellers. They have 
a vast fund of folk-tales and traditions, which have been 
handed down from father to son, and transmitted from gen- 
eration to generation. Years ago, when the tribe lived in 
Nebraska, the author of the present volume camped and 
hunted with them, and joined in their village life. The nights 
were given up to story telling, and many of the tales told 
in the lodge and by the flickering camp-fire were carefully 
translated and written down. When published they excited 
great interest. They are tales of daring and adventure, weird 
accounts of magic, mystery and the supernatural ; relations 
of the ways of life in the old, wild days; stories of war and 
the craft of war parties, the history of the tribe as treasured 
by the very old men. There is mother-wit in these stories, 
they are full of humor, sentiment, pathos and hui nan nature.

their daily life. The stories which constitute this history 
have been taken down by the author from the lips of the 
narrators, and are given without change as told to him. 
There is a singular and charming freshness about the stories, 
which give the history of renowned warriors of ancient and 
modern times, show how ancient customs arose, and explain 
natural phenomena. The account of the daily life, customs, 
and history of the Blackfeet presents a series of graphic 
pictures of savage life in peace and in war.
