This article literary appraises the book "A Book of Indian Tales," by Charles Erskine Scott Wood. In this volume the well-known Western poet and author of the book "Heavenly Discourse" retells Indian tales which he heard during his army career as a young man on the frontier. He makes no attempt to ascribe the tales to any tribe or to give analogies or to be exact in the spelling of Indian names. Most of the stories are those of the North-west coast tribes. The book, of course, contributes nothing to anthropological collections; it does not attempt to do so.
