The Song of Hiawatha
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
One of Longfellow's epic poems combining spiritual saga with mythology of the native Americans living in upper mid-west. Meter is after a Finnish form and becomes very lyrical as one reads it. For those interested Indian mythology or tales of the long vanished culture of the area surrounding the great lakes, definitely a must. Also recommended for those seeking the romance of pristine culture just prior to extinction. Basically a beautiful poem. A glossary to help keep track of the Indian place and person names can be helpful.
