Synopsis

Originally published in 1892, this early work on Native American Folklore is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains tales of the plains of North America and the adventures and customs of the people who inhabit it. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in western folklore. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
