Paperback. Condition: New. Introducing a dramatic new chapter to American Indian literary history, this book brings to the public for the first time the complete writings of the first known American Indian literary writer, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (her English name) or Bamewawagezhikaquay (her Ojibwe name), Woman of the Sound t…he Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky (1800-1842). Beginning as early as 1815, Schoolcraft wrote poems and traditional stories while also translating songs and other Ojibwe texts into English. Her stories were published in adapted, unattributed versions by her husband, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, a founding figure in American anthropology and folklore, and they became a key source for Longfellow's sensationally popular The Song of Hiawatha. As this volume shows, what little has been known about Schoolcraft's writing and life only scratches the surface of her legacy. Most of the works have been edited from manuscripts and appear in print here for the first time. The Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky presents a collection of all Schoolcraft's extant writings along with a cultural and biographical history. Robert Dale Parker's deeply researched account places her writings in relation to American Indian and American literary history and the history of anthropology, offering the story of Schoolcraft, her world, and her fascinating family as reinterpreted through her newly uncovered writing. This book makes available a startling new episode in the history of American culture and literature.

No Binding. Eight line manuscript poem signed and in the hand of Jane Johnston Schoolcraft titled "Somebody", a slightly modified adaptation of the popular late nineteenth century song. Single page sheet, verso blank, 6.65" x 5.25", apparently removed from an autograph friendship album. No date. Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (1800-1…842), of mixed Ojibwe and British ancestry, was born in Sault Ste. Marie to John Johnston, a fur trader, and his wife, Ozhaguscodaywayquay, also known as Susan Johnston, daughter of Ojibwe chief Waubojeeg. In 1823 she married Indian Agent and ethnographer Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, with the two collaborating throughout their marriage on material which would be published under her husband's name. While the vast majority of her own writings were kept private during her lifetime, following her death she has become known as one of the first Native American literary authors, with poems and stories written both in English and Ojibwe. The present manuscript appears to be a very slightly altered adaptation of the popular song "Somebody", also titled "My Own Dear Somebody", which first appears to have been printed in The New Lyric Repository, published in London for J. Osborne in 1795, and included in many different variants in songbooks and compilations in the decades following. Schoolcraft, likely transcribing the poem from memory, has largely kept to the original version, modifying the first line, "Where I obliged to beg my bread" to "Was I reduced to beg my bread", otherwise copying the first six lines of the poem before excising the twelve middle lines and retaining the final two. Signed by Author(s).
