This article focuses on the book "The Native Races of the Pacific States of North America," by Hubert Howe Barcroft. In both divisions of this volume there are many items of information which will engage the attention of those who have become familiar with the "comparative" method of study. It is easy, with this mass of facts before you, to trace resemblances and differences between one American myth and another, and between American and Old-World religions. There is also an interesting list of words which are common to some American language and the Indo-European stock.
