Poetry

Native American writings, or poems, depicting great American Indian epics. It is based on Native American stories and legends. The contents contain "The Song of Hiawatha"; "Evangeline"; and "The Courtship of Miles Standish"; then starts (from page 265) the shorter poems. These span the book until the last of which is named "The Cross of Snow" on page 342. Written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Beautiful volume contains the title poem, plus "Evangeline," "The Courtship of Miles Standish," and a generous selection of shorter poems. The longer poems are beautifully illustrated, and the title poem also has numerous margin decorations. I almost bought a paperback copy of just the title poem before coming across this gem of a book.
