Description

The kind reception of Mr. Skinner's first volume has encouraged him to go beyond the territory of the United States for material for a fresh collection ; and this material he now embodies in a small-sized but rather closely printed book of " Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders". About two-thirds of the collection are drawn from Canada, and the remainder from Mexico. There is much curious and suggestive matter in the volume, and it should not be neglected by students of folk-lore. From the contents: Canada Explorers And Aborigines Myths Of Creation, Heaven, And Hell Glooskap At Menagwes The Dogs Of Clote Scaurp The Missions A Few Monsters Some Names Troubles On The St. Lawrence American Elephants Hidden Gold How One Bear Lost His Life The Isle Of Demons The Figure In Smoky Hut The Shadow Of Holland Cove The Friar Of Campobello Two Melicite Victories The Flame Sloop Of Caraquette The Acadians And Evangeline The Tolling Off Gaspe The Ride To Death The General With An Ear The Defence Of St. John Brother And Sister In Battle The Golden Dog The Grave In The Cellar The Mountain And The See The Sin Of Father St. Bernard Larouche Had His Wish The Heart Of Frontenac The Devil Dance On Orleans The Defiance At Elora The Miracles Of Sainte Anne Tadousac Bell At Midnight The Bell Of Caughnawaga The Massacre At Bic The Doom Of Mamelons The Revenge Of Hudson Kenen's Sacrifice The Calling Of Zoe De Mersac The Headless Deserters The Devil's Head Father Jacques's Vengeance The Bonnechere Affair He Went Back For His Gun Kwasind, The Strong The Curse Of Success The Death Of Wahwun The Devil's Half-Acre Medicine Hat Ghost Woman At The Blood Camp The Blackfoot Eden The Wicked Wife Fourth Of July At Yale Death Of The Great Beaver Why The Mountains Were Made The Place Of Dead Men How The Indians Became Red The Pool Of Destruction Yehl, The Light-Maker The Shelter Of Edgecumbe How Selfishness Was Punished The Ghost Of Sitka Castle A Fatal Rivalry Bad Boys Of Na-As River The Baffled Ice God Mexico White Visitors Before Columbus The White God Spiritual Guidance Eagle, Snake, And Cactus Told In Yucatan Our Lady Of Guadalupe Our Lady Of The Remedies Some Other Miracles The Picture And The Storm The Mischievous Cocktail The Councillors Of Lagos The Humpback Of Colima Why Cholula Pyramid Was Built The Ark On Colhuacan ... and many more ...
