Indian TalesHailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales.

Hailed by Ezra Pound as the "American Ovid" and renowned as a linguist and a self-described "amateur anthropologist," Jaime de Angulo drew on his forty years among the Pit River tribe of California to create the amalgam of fiction, folklore, tall tales, jokes, ceremonial ritual, and adventure that is Indian Tales. He first wrote these stories to entertain his children, borrowing freely from the worlds of the Pit, and also of the Miwok, Pomo, and Karok. Here are the adventures of Father Bear, Mother Antelope, the little boy Fox, and, of course, Old Man Coyote in a time when people and animals weren't so very far apart. The author's intent was not so much to rer anthropologically faithful translations-though they are here-as to create a magical world fueled by the power of storytelling while avoiding the dangers for the romantic and picturesque. True to the playful and imaginative spirit he portrays, de Angulo mischievously recommends to readers: "When you find yourself searching for some mechanical explanation, if you don't know the answer, invent one. When you pick out some inconsistency or marvelous improbability, satisfy your curiosity like the old Indian folk: 'Well, that's the way they tell that story. I didn't make it up '"

Indestructible my shiny hiney!! Dog had it destroyed in 6 hours. Waste of $$$
Color: Blue Cow
I bought this blue buffalo dog stuffy toy for my medium sized dog. It says it is for "heavy chewers" and she really isn't a heavy chewer. My German shepherd was a heavy chewer. This little dog isn't. So this toy should have lasted her a couple of weeks at best. NOPE! NOT EVEN CLOSE!! She had it for about 6 hours before the seams were busting open and stuffing scattered all over my house. 6 FREAKING HOURS!!! I'm very upset over this and my son threw it away before I could tell him to let me return it. So that's $6.99 down the drain. Indestructible my ass. Waste of money and lots of lies on the page. Phooey!
