About this book
Contribution to Passamaquoddy Folk-Lore is credited to Jesse Walter Fewkes. The opening says the study of aboriginal folk-lore cannot reach its highest scientific value until some method is adopted by means of which an accurate record of the stories can be obtained and preserved. The text says the songs and stories were taken from the Indians themselves, on the wax cylinders of the phonograph.
A list of records includes, among others, the story of how Glooscap reduced the size of the animals and an old tale of how Pookjinsquess stole a child. A story in the text has the old wolf ask how far Leux is going, and Leux answers three days' journey. A note says Mrs. Brown has identified Wewillemuck as the snail.
