Product Description

American Hero Myths is a book written by Daniel G. Brinton that explores the myths and legends of American heroes. The book examines the stories of well-known figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Davy Crockett, as well as lesser-known heroes like Hiawatha and Pocahontas. Brinton analyzes these myths and legends to uncover the cultural and historical significance of these figures in American society. The book also delves into the role that these myths play in shaping national identity and the American psyche. With its detailed analysis and comprehensive coverage, American Hero Myths is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the myths and legends that have shaped American culture.Among all the Algonkin tribes whose myths have been preserved we find much is said about a certain Giant Rabbit, to whom all sorts of powers were attributed. He was the master of all animals; he was the teacher who first instructed men in the arts of fishing and hunting; he imparted to the Algonkins the mysteries of their religious rites; he taught them picture writing and the interpretation of dreams; nay, far more than that, he was the original ancestor, not only of their nation, but of the whole race of man, and, in fact, was none other than the primal Creator himself, who fashioned the earth and gave life to all that thereon is.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
