This little volume is a contribution to the comparative study of religions. It is an endeavor to present in a critically correct light some of the fundamental conceptions which are found in the native beliefs of the tribes of America. So little has heretofore been done in this field that it has yielded a very scanty harvest for purposes of general study. It has not yet even passed the stage where the distinction between myth and tradition has been recognized...

From the preface This little volume is a contribution to the comparative study of religions It is an endeavor to present in a critically correct light some of the fundamental conceptions which are found in the native beliefs of the tribes of America So little has heretofore been done in this field that it has yielded a very scanty harvest for purposes of general study It has not yet even passed the stage where the distinction between myth and tradition has been recognized Nearly all historians continue to write about some of the American hero gods as if they had been chiefs of tribes at some undetermined epoch and the effort to trace the migrations and affiliations of nations by similarities in such stories is of almost daily occurrence How baseless and misleading all such arguments must be it is one of my objects to set forth At the same time I have endeavored to be temperate in applying the interpretations of mythologists I am aware of the risk one runs in looking at every legend as a light or storm myth My guiding principle has been that when the same and that a very extraordinary story is told by several tribes wholly apart in language and location then the probabilities are enormous that it is not a legend but a myth and must be explained as such It is a spontaneous production of the mind not a reminiscence of an historic event The importance of the study of myths has been abundantly shown of recent years and the methods of analyzing them have been established with satisfactory clearness The time has long since passed at least among thinking men when the religious legends of the lower races were looked upon as trivial fables or as the inventions of the Father of Lies They are neither the one nor the other They express in image and incident the opinions of these races on the mightiest topics of human thought on the origin and destiny of man his motives for duty and his grounds of hope and the source history and fate of all extern We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

PROCESSES OF MYTH-BUILDING IN AMERICA--PERSONIFICATION. PARONYMS AND HOMONYMS--OTOSIS--POLYONOMY--HENOTHEISM--BORROWING-- RHETORICAL FIGURES--ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONS. ESOTERIC TEACHINGS. OUTLINES OF THE FUNDAMENTAL AMERICAN MYTH--THE WHITE CULTURE-HERO AND THE FOUR BROTHERS--INTERPRETATION OF THE MYTH--COMPARISON WITH THE ARYAN HERMES MYTH--WITH THE ARYO-SEMITIC CADMUS MYTH--WITH OSIRIAN MYTHS--THE MYTH OF THE VIRGIN MOTHER--THE INTERPRETATION THUS SUPPORTED. The time was, and that not so very long ago, when it was contended by some that there are tribes of men without any sort of religion; nowadays the effort is to show that the feeling which prompts to it is common, even among brutes. This change of opinion has come about partly through an extension of the definition of religion. It is now held to mean any kind of belief in spiritual or extra-natural agencies. Some learned men say that we had better drop the word "religion," lest we be misunderstood. They would rather use "daimonism," or "supernaturalism," or other such new term; but none of these seems to me so wide and so exactly significant of what I mean as "religion."
