First edition. No jacket, bookplate on front paste-down endpaper, pages very faintly toned.

299 pp. Illustrated by David Thomas Vernon. As we follow the story of Tan-ta-quid-geon we see the picturesque daily life of the primitive Indians, not only of the Mohegans, but of other Algonquin tribes for, with some variations, their customs were similar. The historical parts are based on Winthrop's Journal, De Forest's History of the Indians of Connecticut and Caulkins' History of Norwich.
