Smith, Bertha H. [Yosemite legends.] [**]$2. Elder.
Six short legends each representing some folk song of the tribe of Ah-wah-nee-chee or Yosemite dwellers. The charm of the text is enhanced by the artistic work of Florence Lundborg, who has conceived a barbaric pattern, an Indian design for the margin, and has contributed thirteen wash drawings reproduced in half-tone. The whole make-up of the book suggests the “eerie and the unseen in air, crag, and water.”
“The stories are told with an attractive simplicity that retains a flavor of the primitive Indian poetry.”

A new life of Christ, simple in style. “It throws some light on incidents in the life of Christ from portrayal of Jewish habits of life and thought. It accompanies the words of Jesus with some interpretation, but not with exhortation. It is free from scholasticism on the one hand and from ecclesiastical pietism on the other.”—Outlook.
