The book is divided into chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Algonquin folklore. The stories are beautifully written and provide a captivating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Algonquin people. Overall, The Algonquin Legends of New England is an essential read for anyone interested in Native American folklore and culture.When Glooskap came to the camp, which was at Ogumkegeak (M.), now called Liverpool, he found no one. But there lay the witch-kwed-lakun-cheech (M.), or birch-bark dish of Martin, and from it, or, as another legend states, from an old man and woman who dwelt hard by, he learned that Win-pe and the families had been gone for seven years, along a road guarded by wicked and horrible beings, placed by Win-pe to prevent the Great Master from finding him. For it was a great triumph for him to keep Glooskap’s friends as slaves, and all the land spoke thereof.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
