Excerpt from The Lore and the Lure of the Yosemite: The Indians, Their Customs, Legends, and Beliefs, and the Story of YosemiteThese were all, or nearly all, of more or less religious significance, for the Indian universally acknowledged the existence of a supreme power, who held their fortune in his hands, who answered prayers and punished wrong doing. So while from border to border, the length of our coast, the smoke curled upward from ten thousand lodge poles, the Indian roamed, and hunted and fished, un afraid, o'er a thousand plains and hills, and the wild fox dug his hole unscared, from many a dusky breast went up a grateful prayer to The Great Spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
