Synopsis

Maidu Myths is a book written by Roland B. Dixon that delves into the myths and legends of the Maidu people, a Native American tribe that lived in California's Sacramento Valley. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing an introduction to the Maidu people, their language, and their culture. The second part of the book contains a collection of Maidu myths and stories, which are organized into categories such as creation myths, animal stories, and tales of love and adventure. The myths are presented in their original form, with translations and annotations provided by the author. The book also includes illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize the stories and the Maidu way of life. Overall, Maidu Myths is a fascinating exploration of the rich cultural heritage of the Maidu people and their beliefs and traditions.Extracted From The Bulletin Of The American Museum Of Natural History.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
