L . KIRK NEW YORK FREDERICK . A . STOKES COMPANY PUBLISHERS Copyright, 1910, By FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY _All rights reserved_ _September, 1910_ PREFACE In this land of change it is important that we may learn a little of the childlike people who preceded us; who hunted, fished and worshipped long ago where we now make our homes and lead our lives. No other legends have so strange a charm, or such appealing local interest, as legends of the wildwood, and nowhere are these so well expressed as in Longfellow's poem of Hiawatha. To furnish a simple medium through which both younger and older people of today may be brought closer, by Longfellow, to the mystery of the forest, this prose rendering of "Hiawatha" has been written. It follows closely the narrative of the poem, and in many places Longfellow's own words have been introduced into its pages, for the purpose of this volume is to awaken interest and pleasure in the poem itself. CONTENTS THE STORY OF HIAWATHA PAGE PREFACE vii CHAPTER I. THE PEACE-PIPE 1 II. THE FOUR WINDS 3 III. HIAWATHA'S CHILDHOOD
