Small book: subtitle: the Sacred Myths of the Manitou by Ernest Whitney, M. A. assisted by William S. Alexnder, illustrated by Thomas C. Parrish. From the text: "However uncouth they may be, the myths and legends of early nations, like the poetry of later, give the highest and truest exponents of their characters, and preserve with a singular fidelity the very essence of their daily lives, their fears and hopes, their assumptions and intuitions. It is proverbial that the songs of a people are stronger than their laws; and the myths and traditions embodying the sentiments upon which national character, national religion, are founded, are more powerful than the songs, which they inspire. A ballad of the people, a bit of folk lore, may teach us more than whole chapters of history; we can hardly understand history without such lights." Published by the Chain & Hardy Co., Denver, CO. ( 7.5" x 5") 52 pp. Soft leatherette cover, nice illustrations, some wear, good condition.
