Book excerpt: This looks at some of the old tales and stories spread about the Southwest during the 19th century, drawing upon Native legends and mythology. From the preface: "In the beginning of the New-making, the ancient fathers lived successively in four caves in the Four fold-containing-earth. The first was of sooty blackness, black as a chimney at night time; the second, dark as the night in the stormy season; the third, like a valley in starlight; the fourth, with a light like the dawning. Then they came up in the night-shine into the World of Knowing and Seeing. So runs the Zuni myth, and it typifies well the mental development, insight, and beauty of speech of the Indian tribes along the Pacific Coast, from those of Alaska in the far-away Northland, with half of life spent in actual darkness and more than half in the struggle for existence against the cold and the storms loosed by fatal curiosity from the bear's bag of bitter, icy winds, to the exquisite imagery of the Zunis and other desert tribes, on their sunny plains in the Southland. It was in the night-shine of this southern land, with its clear, dry air and brilliant stars, that the Indians, looking up at the heavens above them, told the story of the bag of stars of Utset, the First Mother, who gave to the scarab beetle, when the floods came, the bag of Star People, sending him first into the world above. It was a long climb to the world above and the tired little fellow, once safe, sat down by the sack. After a while he cut a tiny hole in the bag, just to see what was in it, but the Star People flew out and filled the heavens everywhere. Yet he saved a few stars by grasping the neck of the sack, and sat there, frightened and sad, when Utset, the First Mother, asked what he had done with the beautiful Star People. The Sky-father himself, in those early years of the New-making, spread out his hand with the palm downward, and into all the wrinkles of his hand set the semblance of shining yellow corn-grains, gleaming like sparks of fire in the dark of the early World-dawn. "See," said Sky-father to Earth-mother, "our children shall be guided by these when the Sun-father is not near and thy mountain terraces are as darkness itself. Then shall our children be guided by light." So Sky-father created the stars. Then he said, "And even as these grains gleam upward from the water, so shall seed grain like them spring up from the earth when touched by water, to nourish our children." And he created the golden Seed-stuff of the corn." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: En el comienzo de la Nueva Constitución, los antiguos padres vivieron sucesivamente en cuatro cuevas en el Cuatro que contienen tierra. La primera era de negrura fuliginosa, negra como una chimenea por la noche; El segundo, oscuro como la noche en la temporada de tormenta; El tercero, como un valle a la luz de las estrellas; El cuarto, con una luz como el amanecer. Entonces subieron en el brillo de la noche al Mundo del Conocer y Ver.Así corre el mito Zuni, y tipifica bien el desarrollo mental, la percepción y la belleza del habla de las tribus indias a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico, de las de Alaska en el lejano Northland, con la mitad de la vida pasada en la oscuridad real y más Más de la mitad en la lucha por la existencia contra el frío y las tormentas desatadas por la curiosidad fatal desde la bolsa de osos de amargos vientos helados hasta las exquisitas imágenes de los Zunis y otras tribus desérticas en sus soleadas llanuras.
