by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft

FOOTNOTES:

[59] Thunder is invariably personified by the Algic Indians. There is no other mode of describing it in their vocabulary.

[60] This taciturnity is characteristic of the American Indians, who seldom speak or manifest any emotion when events of this nature take place in actual life, especially if hard feelings have been excited in either party.
