The Myths of the New World

A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of America

About this book

The mythologies of the American peoples compared - the culture heroes, the flood stories, the four directions - by the scholar who first argued they should be read as a single system rather than as curiosities. This edition is bound with 60 plates of paintings by George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Remington, among others, dating from 1830 to 1916.
