Excerpt from Lost Indian Magic: A Mystery Story of the Red Man as He Lived Before the White Men Came Like all primitive peoples they personified the hidden powers Of Nature, most Of which were feared, and they supposed that back Of all disaster stood some evil intelligence that must be appeased, or fought, with the aid Of some other power pos sessing greater virtue. Naturally enough, the power that, in their Opin ion, brought the greatest protection against evil, and produced the greatest blessings in abundant crops, successful hunting, and strength in battle, was symbolized by some image or Obj ect which took to itself the mighty power and gave out its magical charm, or great medicine, to the fortunate tribe who possessed it.

"Out in the region of the sage and the pine; in the far reaches of the ever-mysterious desert, the Indian campfires of the long ago heard many a tale well worth the telling. Some there were that have been handed down, through the channel of an unwrit tongue, from age to youth - told, retold, and told again until they come to the hearing of even you and me. Thus the ancient tale of Kay'-yah and the Lost Magic comes to be set down." The authors, Pasadena, California, 1918. Author Grace Moon was a well known writer of children's books, with a particular interest in Native American stories. She won a Newbery Honor award for children's literature in 1929.

Joseph Nicolar's "The Life and Traditions of the Red Man" tells the story of his people from the first moments of creation to the earliest arrivals and eventual settlement of Europeans. Self-published by Nicolar, this is one of the few sustained narratives in English composed by a member of an Eastern Algonquian-speaking people during the nineteenth century. At a time when Native Americans' ability to exist as Natives was imperiled, Nicolar wrote his book in an urgent effort to pass on Penobscot cultural heritage to subsequent generations of the tribe and to reclaim Native Americans' right to self-representation. This extraordinary work weaves together stories of Penobscot history, precontact material culture, feats of shamanism, and ancient prophecies about the coming of the white man. An elder of the Penobscot Nation in Maine and the grandson of the Penobscots' most famous shaman-leader, Old John Neptune, Nicolar brought to his task a wealth of traditional knowledge. providing historical context and explaining unfamiliar words and phrases. "The Life and Traditions of the Red Man" is a remarkable narrative of Native American culture, spirituality, and literature
