Kootenai Why Stories

Kootenai Why Stories Paperback / softback - 1997

by Frank Bird Linderman

  • New
  • Paperback

While trapping in Montana during the 1880s, young Frank B. Linderman listened to stories and legends told by Kootenai Indians around their campfires. In 1926 he translated the tales for KOOTENAI WHY STORIES. These stories explain the "why" of nature--such as why the coyote has thin legs. Linderman's retelling captures the mystery and spirit of a forested world. Illustrated.

Description

Paperback / softback. New. While trapping in Montana during the 1880s, young Frank B Linderman befriended the Kootenai Indians. At their campfires he heard about Skinkoots the coyote, Co-pee the owl, Frog Chief, and the other animal people. The telling impressed him, and in 1926 he was able, from long familiarity, to translate the tales for "Kootenai Why Stories".
