INDIAN LEGENDS FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES - Ella E Clark

Description: This auction is for a pre-owned hardback book - illustrated - with dust jacket INDIAN LEGENDS FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIESby Ella E. ClarkUNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESSCopyright 1966 by the University of Oklahoma PressFirst edition, 1966 second printing, 1967 third printing, 1973 fourth printing, 1977389 pages Quote from inner flap of dust jacket:The stories in this unusual collection come from the twelve tribes of Indians that, in historic times, have lived in the present states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. They include myths, leg- ends, personal narratives, and historical traditions preserved by highly respected storytellers, and reveal much about the lives and beliefs of the early Indians. The sections of the book are arranged to represent Indians of six linguistic groups: Nez Perces; Flatheads, Kalispels (or Pend d'Orielles), and Coeur d'Alenes (Skitswish); Kutenais; Shoshonis and Bannocks; Arapahoes, Gros Ventres, and Blackfeet; and Cros and Assini- boines. Although attention is focused on Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, the factual introductions to the various sec- tions cover a larger area - from the Cas- cade Range of western Washington and Oregon almost to the Mississippi River. Because the Sioux frequently came into Montana and Wyoming to make war and to hunt buffalo, four of their land- scape legends are included. These are the stories which used to be told around winter fires for the enter- tainment and instruction of the Indian family. The simplicity of style character- izing the narrations is truly reflective of their origins in oral literature. Mytholody is related to history in this volume, which belongs in any library or home where instruction is intended to delight. Volume 82 in THE CIVILIZA- TION OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN SERIES.
