Williamson. Vol. 46 in Series Very clean & crisp. "Hiawatha, a legendary Red Indian hero, personifies the progress of civilization among the natives of North America. Son of the the west Wind, Mudjekeewis, he has magic powers, learns the language of animals, marries Minnehaha, one of the Dakotahs, and teaches his peoples the arts of peace. The romantic beauty of the legends, with their melodious native names, has made this simple Indian epic the most popular of Longfellow's longer poems." A super copy. ![]() |
