\f0\fs24 \cf0 Newton eBook for \uc0\u147 Aboriginal American Authors\u148 , by Daniel G. Brinton in 1883.\
\
Thanks to the good folks at Project Gutenberg, for scanning and making available a .txt  file of the original work.\
\
This 142-page book is a good summary of the better known traditional writings of Indians from many regions of the Western hemisphere. This bibliographical survey provides information on tribal histories that would be particularly useful for Indian Study Programs in the states of Oklahoma, New York and Wisconsin.\
Brinton was aware of the 19th century racism of many who wrote about the American Indian and reacted against it in his writings by taking a stance which in some ways anticipates Ruth Benedict's involvement in similar questions half a century later. Aboriginal American Authors is written as an early attempt at placing the literature of the American Indian with the other great literary traditions of the world.\
