Description
Here are the folk tales of the Cheyenne–stories of their heroes| their wars| their relationships with supernatural powers–as told to George Bird Grinnell during the winter months in Cheyenne tipis. “Of all the books written about Indians|” say Margaret Mead and Ruth L. Benzel in The Golden Age of American Anthropology| “none comes closer to their everyday life than Grinnell’s classic monograph on the Cheyenne. Reading it| one can smell the buffalo grass and the wood fires| feel the heavy morning dew on the prairie.”
