Overview
Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest is a collection of traditional stories and folklore from the American West, compiled by Katharine Berry Judson. The book includes tales from California, Arizona, New Mexico, and other regions, and covers a wide range of topics, from creation myths and legends of heroes and tricksters to stories of ghosts and supernatural creatures. Some of the stories are based on Native American folklore, while others draw from the traditions of Spanish settlers and other early inhabitants of the region. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the American West, and offers readers a unique perspective on the myths and legends that have shaped the region's history and identity.Then Coyote collected a great bundle of tail feathers from owls, hawks, eagles, and buzzards. He journeyed over the whole earth and carefully located the site of each Indian village. Where the tepees had stood, he planted a feather in the ground and scraped up the dirt around it. The feathers sprouted like trees, and grew up and branched. At last they turned into men and women. So the world was inhabited with people again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
