Opis

The lore of the Natives encountered by conquerors, adventurers, and convert seekers in the era of expansion is a strange conglomerate of legends here analyzed from the late 19th century minds of rationalism. Tales of the manitou, the piasa, strange legends about spirits both good and evil, are here retold. This specific text is one part archaeology, one part ethnology, one part demonology. Touching on the mound builders, petroglyphs, and even dinosaurs, Armstrong delivers an interesting, if perhaps somewhat dated, look at history and wraps it all up in the spiritual, the demonic, and the outright occult.
