Compiled to stir interest in the scenery and romance of her state, this anthology gathers poems on Native legends of Minnesota. Winona’s leap, the peace-pipe quarry, a lone war-path and the lakes and rivers of the region appear alongside passages from Longfellow’s Hiawatha, in verse by mostly white poets with the romantic views of their time.
