Bloodstoppers and Bearwalkers: Folk Traditions of the Upper Peninsula

Folklore as it comes from the mouths of living storytellers has a matchless authority and conviction. Download Bloodstoppers and Bearwalkers: Folk Traditions of the Upper Peninsula from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. Richard Dorson, living for five months among the Indians, Finns, Canadiens, Cornishmen, lumberjacks, sailors, miners, and sagamen of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, has listened to their tales, which this book reproduces with all their native thunder and salt. With this lively evidence he proves that America still has its myth-makers and purveyors of myth, who represent, both ethnically and historically, an enormous range of traditional oral folklore. We meet the Chippewa and Potawatomi Indians, who tell their own heroic versions of the wars with the white men, and whose chief delight is to relate the adventures of the folk hero, Winabijou.
