"Only two Chumash texts were known before this publication of 111 myths, folk tales, and stories collected by John Peabody Harrington between 1912 and 1928. The texts range from aboriginal narratives centering on Old Man Coyote to nineteenth-century tales borrowed from Mexico."—Pacific Historical Review "Thomas Blackburn, among the first and most assiduous of the seekers through Harrington's materials, has published here the main body of oral literature that Harrington collected from the Chumash of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Blackburn has done much more: he has added to the 111 stories a commentary and analysis...Not only California specialists but also those interested in mythology and oral traditions will find this book invaluable. . . . The stories are good enough, moreover, to stand on their own as contributions to world literature."—Journal of California Anthropology |
