Summary:
"This book is a wide-ranging survey of an undeservedly neglected subject. It presents the various groups of North American Indians, outlines the principal deities and heroes of their mythology and also recounts the typical beliefs of each region. It introduces the Corn Maidens and the Rolling Heads: it portrays the recurring Trickster figures such as Raven and Tabbit (and incidentally describes how Rabbit developed into Brer Rabbit) and charts notable events such as the romantic origin of tobacco, and the vital discovery of maize."--
