For many years before the coming of the Europeans, Algonquin peoples held the northern reaches of the New World. Some called themselves Anishinaubee -- "descendants of the first man." They arched across North America like a great bow, from Nova Scotia to the Rockies. Hunter-gatherers as far removed as Potawatomi, Penobscot, and Powhatan, shared a common culture, and their languages and dialects formed a great language family. Dwelling on the continent with the Algonquins, among teeming hosts of wildlife, were endless legions of birds. These myriad birds occupied an important place in Algonquin society. They provided food, warmth, decoration, their feathers were used to fletch arrows, and their migrations often triggered seasonal activities by the tribes. Some birds were carved on wooden sticks to be used as reminders of verses in ceremonial songs, and individuals often took the name of a bird to be their own. Because of the importance of birds in Algonquin life, legends were created around these birds; this is what Birds of Algonquin Legend is about. Birds of Algonquin Legend is a book for an adult or young adult reader whose sense of curiosity is piqued and pleased by reading natural history magazines, by visiting the zoo, or by watching Jaques Costeau or David Attenborough. It is a book for the reader who has long been fascinated by the natural and cultural history of North America, and who ponders a pristine New World that once was.

In "Algonquin Legends of New England," Charles Godfrey Leland presents a captivating collection of Native American folklore that reveals the richness and complexity of Algonquin culture. Through a meticulously crafted narrative style, Leland intertwines myth and reality, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the stories that shaped the identity and beliefs of Indigenous peoples in the New England region. The book is set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time when interest in Native American cultures surged, prompting Leland to champion these oral traditions with reverence and scholarly diligence. Leland, an American folklorist, journalist, and caricaturist, was deeply influenced by his fascination with folklore and the oral traditions of various cultures. His extensive travels and interactions with Indigenous tribes bred a passion for preserving their stories, evident in this compilation. Leland's commitment to authenticity shines through, as he aimed not only to entertain but also to educate readers about the social and cultural fabric of a world that was rapidly vanishing due to modernization. This book is highly recommended for enthusiasts of folklore, anthropology, and Native American history. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the interconnections between storytelling and cultural identity, while also bridging the gap between Indigenous perspectives and contemporary readers.

From the preface: "When I began, in the summer of 1882, to collect among the Passamaquoddy Indians at Campobello, New Brunswick, their traditions and folk-lore, I expected to find very little indeed. These Indians, few in number, surrounded by white people, and thoroughly converted to Roman Catholicism, promised but scanty remains of heathenism. What was my amazement, however, at discovering, day by day, that there existed among them, entirely by oral tradition, a far grander mythology than that which has been made known to us by either the Chippewa or Iroquois Hiawatha Legends, and that this was illustrated by an incredible number of tales. I soon ascertained that these were very ancient. The old people declared that they had heard from their progenitors that all of these stories were once sung; that they themselves remembered when many of them were poems. This was fully proved by discovering manifest traces of poetry in many, and finally by receiving a long Micmac tale which had been sung by an Indian. I found that all the relaters of this lore were positive as to the antiquity of the narratives, and distinguished accurately between what was or was not pre-Columbian. In fact, I came in time to the opinion that the original stock of all the Algonquin myths, and perhaps of many more, still existed, not far away in the West, but at our very doors; that is to say, in Maine and New Brunswick. It is at least certain, as the reader may convince himself, that these Wabanaki, or Northeastern Algonquin, legends give, with few exceptions, in full and coherently, many tales which have only reached us in a broken, imperfect form, from other sources. This work, then, contains a collection of the myths, legends, and folk-lore of the principal Wabanaki, or Northeastern Algonquin, Indians; that is to say, of the Passamaquoddies and Penobscots of Maine, and of the Micmacs of New Brunswick. All of this material was gathered directly from Indian narrators, the greater part by myself, the rest by a few friends; in fact, I can give the name of the aboriginal authority for every tale except one. As my chief object has been simply to collect and preserve valuable material, I have said little of the labors of such critical writers as Brinton, Hale, Trumbull, Powers, Morgan, Bancroft, and the many more who have so ably studied and set forth red Indian ethnology. If I have rarely ventured on their field, it is because I believe that when the Indian shall have passed away there will come far better ethnologists than I am, who will be much more obliged to me for collecting raw material than for cooking it."

An easy-to-use guide to American regional folklore with advice on conducting research, regional essays, and a selective annotated bibliography. American Regional Folklore begins with a chapter on library research, including how to locate a library suitable for folklore research, how to understand a library's resources, and how to construct a research strategy. Mood also gives excellent advice on researching beyond the library: locating and using community resources like historical societies, museums, fairs and festivals, storytelling groups, local colleges, newspapers and magazines, and individuals with knowledge of the field. The rest of the book is divided into eight sections, each one highlighting a separate region (the Northeast, the South and Southern Highlands, the Midwest, the Southwest, the West, the Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii). Each regional section contains a useful overview essay, written by an expert on the folklore of that particular region, followed by a selective, annotated bibliography of books and a directory of related resources.
