About the Book

Myths of the New World is a book written by the American anthropologist, Daniel G. Brinton, which explores the myths and legends of the indigenous people of North and South America. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of these myths, including creation stories, tales of heroes and gods, and legends of the afterlife. Brinton draws from a wide range of sources, including the oral traditions of various Native American tribes, as well as written accounts from early explorers and missionaries. Through his analysis of these stories, Brinton provides insights into the beliefs and values of the indigenous people of the New World, as well as their unique cultural perspectives. The book is a fascinating exploration of the rich and varied mythologies of the Americas, and is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the history and culture of this region.1905. A treatise on the symbolism and mythology of the red race of America. The author wrote this volume more for the thoughtful reader than the antiquary.
