This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Way beyond, once upon a time, some of the Osages lived in the sky. They did not know where they came from, so they went to Sun. They said, "From where did we come?" He said, "You are my children." Then they wandered still further and came to Moon. Moon said, "I am your mother; Sun is your father. You must go away from here. You must go down to the earth and live there." Thus begins the first selection in Katharine Berry Judson's remarkable collection. These are the stories passed from generation to generation by the Osage, the Dakota, the Omaha, the Ponca, and other peoples who have inhabited the Great Plains of America for many, many generations. The myths explain the unknown origins of their known world. The legends inspire great deeds through the ancient acts of those who came before.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders Has been an incentive to continue the work in the same field, and herewith is offered a volume of tra dition from Canada and Mexico, thus covering the North American continent. A need of brevity has made it advisable to keep to the method fol lowed in Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, of assembling traditions that attach to places, rather than attempting to set forth the almost exhaustless, always verbose, and sometimes childish folk-lore of the aborigines. Simple people, red people, and habitants, not readers, not logicians, not examiners, accept these tales from their old men and treasure them. Others may find amusement in them, and perhaps profit; for, ingenuous as they are, they. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends of Our New Possessions and Protectorate Ararats in the Sierras, in Alaska, in Hawaii, in the Philippines. It sets us a-thinking when we find Noah in a Hawaiian myth, and there called Nuu when we learn of the white god of Mexico who is to return and free his people, for which reason houses in the southwest are still built with doors opening toward the sunrise, that the faithful may see him early when he advances out of the East, to which he went so long ago. We have forgotten all we never knew about the people who first recounted the deluge legend, but everywhere we hear, among primitive tribes, of floods that covered the globe, of a chosen one who survived the cataclysm and re peopled the earth, restoring to it, also, the serpents, birds, and quadrupeds that he had saved from the waters. How much more dramatic and portentous are these records than the possible beginning of the story in some local freshet! Eden is in both hemispheres. Sodom has been destroyed on both continents. Helen is not alone of Troy, but of Molokai and California. Coming to a later time, we find our dear old Rip Van Winkle to be only the phantom of an earlier personage. The man who fell asleep among the hills and awoke to find himself and the world grown old is at home in Germany and the Orient and on our Western plains, quite as well as in the mountains of our Hud son; yet we refuse to yield his place to any proto type, and insist that Rip shall inhabit our Catskills.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, Vol. 1 But, whatever the episodes of our four historic centuries may furnish to the poet, painter, dramatist, or legend-building idealist of the future, it is certain that we are not devoid of myth and folk-lore. Some characters, prosaic enough, perhaps, in daily life, have impinged so lightly on society before and after perpetrating their one or two great deeds, that they have already become shadowy and their achieve ments have acquired a color of the supernatural. It is Where myth and history combine that legend is most interesting and appeals to our fancy or our sympathy most strongly; and it is not too early for us to begin the collation of those quaint happenings and those spoken reports that gain in picturesque ness with each transmission. An attempt has been made in this instance to assemble only legends, for, doubtful as some historians profess to find them, certain occurrences, like the story of Captain Smith and Pocahontas, and the ride of General Putnam down Breakneck Stairs, are taught as history while as to folk-lore, that of the Indian tribes and of the Southern negro is too copious to be recounted in this work. It Will be noted that traditions do not thrive in brick and brownstone, and that the stories once rife in the colonial cities have almost as effectually disappeared as the architectural landmarks of last century. The field entered by the writer is not untrodden. Hawthorne and Irving have made paths across it, and it is hoped that others may deem its.

The moral is that you should never talk when you are hunting for treasure. Wet, scared, and disheart ened, the man crawled out and made homeward, carrying with him, as proof of his adventure, a case of influenza and the iron bar. The latter trophy he fashioned into a latch, in which shape it still does service on one of the doors of Ipswich.
