The article presents information on the book "Indian Stories From the Pueblos," by Frank Applegate. In his "Indian Stories From the Pueblos" Mr. Applegate has given a type of Indian tale which, if not unattempted by others, is in this case notable. Here, without any pretense literary or ethnological, the Indian is made to appear as he shows himself to the whites who approach him humanly. Mr. Applegate shows himself naively unfamiliar with the literary convention of story-telling, which is a pity since by his failure to achieve the absolute and compelling form he is due to lose several of the best of his anecdotes.
