The Song of Hiawatha

Rating:
Summary: This is a great campfire book that really makes you think.
Review: "The Song of Hiawatha" is the best book I have ever been exposed to. Every time I hear the wonderful rhyme of HenryWadsworth Longfellow, I begin to think of what this land was like before the Europeans conquered it. It is a wonderful tale of peace between nations and a great book to read to children.

Summary: The language/ rhythm is as mythical and lovely as the plot
Review: A book for generations. Mine was published 1898 and given me by my mother whose father(b.1875) gave it to her. It goes to the heart of the Indian race, a people susceptible to mythology and magic as their last great hope. Read it with an open mind, imagination, and for its beauty.
