Chief Big Canoe writes to Young, Dear Friend: Your book of stories gathered from among my tribe has very much pleased me. The reading of them brings up the days of long time ago when I was a boy and heard our old people tell these tales in the wigwams and at the camp fire. I am very glad that you are in this way saving them from being forgotten, and I am sure that many people will be glad to read them.
