From Library Journal
The impact of history upon the folklore of three southern New England tribes is ably demonstrated in this comprehensive collection of folklore narratives of the Mohegan, Narragansett, and Wampanoag Indians. The legends range from the earliest known records to those collected by the author in the 1980s. Simmons arranges the narratives chronologically within given subjects, which allows him to show how folklore reflects the dramatic changes in the lives of these groups. An index of folklore motifs is included. Recommended for academic libraries and folklore collections. Mary B. Davis, Museum of the American Indian Lib., Bronx, New York

Product Review
"An impressive blend of good anthropology and sound historiographical scholarship . . . What emerges is the clearest, and most thoughtful, view into the cognitive world of New England's native people available to nonspecialists." --New England Quarterly
