The Little Book of Irish Wit and Wisdom by E. M. Kirkpatrick Pdf

Ireland, with its astonishing wealth of writers, poets and wits - almost all of them superb conversationalists - and its long tradition of famous bards and mystics, kings and warriors, priests and patriots, holds an unassailable position as the birthplace of geniuses. Written in celebration of a land whose green beauty is matched only by the humour and sagacity of its people, and the welcome they offer to all who care to seek them out. For the great Gaels of Ireland Are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, And all their songs are sad. G.K. Chesterton

Red Man's Origin by Donald N. Panther-Yates,William Eubanks,George Sahkiyah Sanders Pdf

In the world of Native Americans, oral communication takes the place of the written word in preserving their most valued "texts." By a miracle of transmission, here is the earliest and most complete version of the story of the Cherokee people, from their origins in a land across the great waters to the coming of the white man. In olden times, it was recited at every Great Moon or Cherokee New Year festival so it could be learned by young people and the tribal lore perpetuated. It was set down in English in an Indian Territory newspaper by Cornsilk (the pen-name of William Eubanks) from the Cherokee language recitation of George Sahkiyah (Soggy) Sanders, a fellow Keetoowah Society priest, in 1892. We do not have anything anterior or more authentic than Eubanks and Sanders' "Red Man's Origin. Mystic and plain-spoken at the same time, "Red Man's Origin" tells how the clans became seven in number, reorganized their religion in America and struggled to maintain their "half-sphere temple of light." You will hear in Cornsilk's original words about the true name of the Cherokee people, the totem Uktena serpent, divining crystals of the Urim and Thummin, "terrible Sa-ho-ni clan" and other Cherokee storytelling subjects. The brief narrative is here reprinted with an introduction, notes and line drawings from Native American history by Cherokee author Donald Panther-Yates. If you own one book about the Cherokee Indians it should be this one.
