Navaho Legends: Collected And Translated (1897) is a book written by Washington Matthews, a U.S. Army surgeon who served in the Southwest during the late 1800s. The book is a collection of traditional Navajo stories and legends that Matthews gathered during his time living among the Navajo people. Matthews was one of the first outsiders to gain the trust of the Navajo and learn their language, and his book is considered a classic of Native American literature. The stories in Navaho Legends cover a wide range of topics, from creation myths and tales of heroic deeds to cautionary tales and stories of the supernatural. Matthews' translations are faithful to the original Navajo texts, and he provides detailed notes and commentary to help readers understand the cultural context of each story. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture and folklore, as well as for scholars of anthropology and linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
