Synopsis
Excerpt from The Calumet of the Coteau, and Other Poetical Legends of the Border: Also, a Glossary of Indian Names, Words, and Western Provincialisms, Together With a Guide-Book of the Yellowstone National Park
Perhaps it may be conceded that this admitted lack of style and finish ih the verses is in part counterbalanced by the truthful description of the marvels in' the Goblin and wonder-lands, and the ever-changing scenes of the border, in which the author has largely participated, and the faithful recital of the legends or traditions of the days agone.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book weaves a tapestry of poetic legends and historical narratives focused on the American frontier, specifically exploring the relationship between Native American tribes and European settlers in the late 19th century. The author, a former superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, draws on his personal experiences as a trapper and his intimate knowledge of the region's history and folklore to create vivid portraits of life on the border. Through a series of poetic tales, the author delves into the complex themes of conflict, cultural clash, and the impact of westward expansion on both native peoples and the landscape itself. The stories are steeped in the traditions of the Plains Indians, exploring their beliefs, customs, and the powerful symbolism of the calumet, a sacred pipe representing peace and harmony. These tales are also deeply personal, reflecting the author's respect for the Native Americans and the harsh realities they faced in the face of relentless colonization. This work offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal period in American history, capturing the struggles, triumphs, and enduring legacies of the West through the lens of poetic storytelling and historical recollection. It reminds us that the true cost of progress often comes at the price of human suffering and cultural loss.
