Excerpt from Indian Legends Other Poems None but an author knows an author's cares, Or Fancy's fondness for the child she bears.' - Cowper. Much of my life has been spent in the Northwest - on the frontier of civilization, and I became personally acquainted with some of the chiefs and braves of the Dakota and Ojibway (chippewa) Indians. I have written of them in a measure from my own personal knowledge, and endeavored, above all things, to be accurate, and to present them true to the life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Indian Legends Retold The first Indian legends, repeated by the fireside to children, deal with the animals humanized, their gifts and their weaknesses, in such a way as to be a lesson to the young. Our view of the creation allows a soul to all living creatures, and rocks and trees are reverenced as sharers in the divine. Beyond their simplicity and realism there is always the unexplained, the background of mystery and spirituality. These animal fables serve as an introduction to more complicated stories with human actors, which almost always have their hidden moral and are accepted by our people as guides to life.
