Creation Myths of Primitive America / In relation to the Religious History and Mental Development of Mankind
Transcriber's Note
Most accented letters in this book are used to indicate pronunciation. They are usually used in the introductory matter at the beginning of each story, but not in the stories themselves.
The notes at the end include lists of place names, some of which include characters with a breve (e.g. ă, ĕ, ĭ, ŏ, ŭ, Ĕ) or with breve and acute accent (e.g. ĕ́, ĭ́, ŭ́). If these characters do not display properly, you may wish to adjust your settings.
