THE HERO OF THE LONGHOUSE
By Mary E. Laing
Illustrations from 27 paintings by David C. Lithgow
This story gives a portrayal of the noblest of Indians—Hiawatha. It follows established facts, and bares to the reader the heart of his race. It is a convincing tale.
The training of the Indian youth is shown; the career of the hero as a warrior is told; his great work for peace with the Five Tribes is described.
Besides the story, there is an account of the historical Hiawatha; also a complete Glossary giving definitions as well as pronunciations of the new Indian words. A map of the country of the Longhouse will enable the reader to follow the journeys of the Indian people.
The book is intended as a supplementary reader in schools, being adapted to the sixth grade or above. It will also be valuable in groups of the Wood-craft League, Camp-fire Girls, and Boy Scouts.
