"Presently Pontho raised his head and looked around; all his people were there waiting, watching, wondering. Walking slowly to the door of his hut, he drew aside the curtain of hanging;ules. "'Col-ma-chuse, Cedro, Mesawealy!' he called. "The three men stepped out into the firelight, and between them walked Calamee. His hands were tied behind his back, his long hair fell around his face and sholuders loosely, his eyes looked only at the ground. The men walked to a place near the fire and stopped. "When the people saw the Yuma, there came a low sound like the moaning of the night wind on the mountains; then the silence was greater than before. Pontho gave the Yuma a long, stern look, then spoke: "'Calame, ' he asked, 'when first you came among us, did we not receive you kindly?' "'Yes, ' came the answer, low and clear. "'And when you came the second time, did we not still treat you like one of us?' "'Yes, ' answered Calamee again. "'When you went from our village back to your own people, ' said Pontho, speaking very slowly, 'did you tell them of the richness of our valley, and of our many cattle and sheep?' "Calamee bowed his head. "'When you came here the second time, did you know that a party of your young men were coming to rob and kill our people?' "This time the Yuma waited a little before answering, while all the eager faces around bent forward the better to hear. Finally it came, the same as before, but very low: "'Yes.'

This edition is abridged and annotated with updated information. A judge from Prussia. A French Texas Ranger. Emigrants from all over the U.S. Their names and stories are mostly now forgotten but were recorded in this 1900 volume by Andrew Jackson Sowell. They were mostly young, hardy, and looking for new opportunities in land they felt was wide open but, in fact, was inhabited by Native Americans. The lives of these early pioneers is part of the history of the American West. The original bound edition of this book ran over 1100 pages and most of that content is here. It's the story of an incredibly violent and adventurous time that was lived by the people whose stories you find here. Sowell talked to them all and created one of the most interesting collections of personal histories of the wild West. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Charles F. Lummis's profound understanding of Indian and Spanish culture in the American Southwest is reflected in this collection of thirty-two myths centering around the Pueblo of Isleta on the Rio Grande. In adapting these traditional oral tales, Lummis drew on his experience of living at Isleta and his familiarity with the native language. originally published in 1894, Pueblo Indian Folk-Stories is as enchanting as ever. Seven elders seated around a campfire take turns telling about Antelope Boy. the fabled coyote, the man who married the moon, the snake-girls, the sobbing pine, the feathered barbers, the hero twins, the revengeful fawns, and other natural and supernatural entities. Beautifully wrought, these wisdom and initiation stories speak to all who have not lost their sense of wonder.
