About this book
Traditions of the North American Indians, Volume 1 is a three-volume collection of Native American tales by James Athearn Jones (1791-1854), the American newspaper editor and writer from Martha's Vineyard who published the work in London in 1830. Jones gathered stories from a wide range of tribal sources and recast them as literary tales in the manner of his contemporaries Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper. The book belongs to the early nineteenth-century American Romantic interest in Indigenous material and stands alongside the related collections by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. Volume 1 covers tales from the Northeastern Woodland peoples and from the Eastern Plains. The collection is a primary source for the literary mediation of Native American oral tradition for white American and British readers in the period. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
