Native Ancient

Some histories arrive in the public mind already simplified. They become a handful of images, a small collection of names, and a few repeating phrases that are passed from generation to generation until they begin to feel like the whole story. The Lakota have suffered that kind of compression more than most people. In the popular imagination, they are often reduced to war bonnets, cavalry charges, and a tragic snow-covered hillside called Wounded Knee.

This is the true story of how a chance meeting with a young Navajo Indian propels an English traveler out of his professional life and into the world of North American Indian Medicine Men, a world where people genuinely believe that witchcraft can bring ruin, even death, and only the traditional medicine men have the knowledge to lift the curses and restore the sick to health. This is the Second Edition of the acclaimed Meeting the Medicine Men, with much extra material and detail supplied by Charles Langley from his field notes and diaries. As apprentice to the powerful Navajo medicine man...

Archaeologists uncovered the evidence. Folklorists kept the legends alive. What remains is a landscape where both still speak. Ancient Ozarks explores the region’s deep past through the tension between science and story....

For seven hundred years, the largest city on the continent above Mexico stood on the Mississippi. Nobody remembers its name. In 1050, a generation of builders raised a metropolis on the floodplain east of modern St. Louis. Fifteen to twenty thousand people lived inside it. Monks Mound rose ten stories above the plain and held more carried earth than the Great Pyramid uses in its base courses. The Grand Plaza in front of it was fifty acres of leveled clay. A timber sun-calendar tracked the solstices. More than one hundred and twenty smaller mounds ringed the core, and trade goods from a ...

Most books about Appalachian folklore begin with the words "locals say." This one gives you the court records. You have read the other ones.

Primeval Appalachian Folklore takes the opposite approach. Every story here comes with a county, a date, and wherever possible the name of the person who told it and the name of the person who wrote it...
