Book Description
Excerpt from Wigwam Stories Told by North American Indians These stories, told by and about the Indians, have been gathered from various sources. They show, among other interesting facts, that the love of the beautiful, and also of the humorous, dwells in the heart of the wild Indian. There are no adaptations from Longfellow's poem of Hiawatha, but the compiler has gone directly to the works of Schoolcraft, whose writings were Longfellow's inspiration. Schoolcraft's Journal states his belief that Menabozho and Hiawatha were one and the same person, the latter name being preferred as more musical. Hence, Longfellow chose it as the name of his Indian hero. Horatio Hale and other authorities on Iroquois history differ strongly from Schoolcraft on this point, and maintain that the name of Hiawatha, or Hey-anwatha, refers only to an Iroquois statesman or deity. Menabozho, or The Foolish One, is very real to the Chippewa or Ojibway Indian of Minnesota. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Some stories are of daffodils and butterflies. Others stories are of fungus and maggots. We live for the stories that make us feel the sun on our face. However, there is tale and myth that have not this quality. Stories of the dark Nephillim, locked in their granite cages, slick with the sweat of terror.Their story lies within the asbestos chalk that forms in your mind before screaming. Their story is the jump when you wake from falling. They are the sons of their fallen fathers, from the same womb as our proud race... Pale in the sun, afraid of the light. They wait, sharpening fang and claw to devour those unaware of their proposed feast. The brother of man, the terror of the night. Their story must be known.Adelphoi is a form of the Greek word: "adelphos" which simply means: "my brother" but more literally means: "progeny of my mother's womb." Explore with me the offspring of a tainted man, those creatures mentioned only by dim candlelight in the dusty apartments of those who dare read such stories. Be it vampire or cyber-man other such rough beast, there is a story in this collection for you.
