Description: Wigwam Stories is a children's literature book containing traditions, myths, stories, folklore, tribal customs, and sketches of Native American tribes, retold by Mary Catherine Judd. The first edition was published in 1901 in Boston by Ginn & Company. The tales were told by Native Americans and compiled by a friend of theirs. The myths which appear in Wigwam Stories are mainly those which refer to nature myths, Judd being guided in her choice by her love for nature which was fostered and encouraged by her work among children while she was a school teacher. The stories were carefully examined by several ethnologists, among them Alice Cunningham Fletcher, a lecturer at Harvard University. The book was bound in yellow and brown in a design made up of Native American emblems. The work for the covers and for the headings of the chapters and three of the full-page drawings was done by Angel De Cora. The other illustrations were made from photographs selected with reference to sentiment and meaning by students in the several tribes from whom they are taken.
