The Algonquin Legends Of New England

This book is annotated with a rare biographical sketch of the author, written by Elizabeth Robins Pennell.

This work contains a collection of the myths, legends, and folk-lore of the principal Wabanaki, or Northeastern Algonquin, Indians; that is to say, of the Passamaquoddies and Penobscots of Maine, and of the Micmacs of New Brunswick. All of this material was gathered directly from Indian narrators.
