TEXAS INDIAN MYTHS AND LEGENDS
Step into the colorful pageantry of the powerful people who once ruled and still influence the great state of Texas. From the Caddo in the Piney Woods, the Lipan Apache in the Southwest, the Wichita at the Red River, and the Comanche across the Great Plains to the Alabama-Coushatta in the Big Thicket, five nations come alive through myth and history in Jane Archer's vividly written book about the first Texans.
Texas Indian Myths and Legends is a valuable contribution to the literature of Native America . . . full of wonderful stories told in a simple and engaging manner.
--William Sanders
Author of The Ballad of Billy Badass and the Rose of Turkestan
Archer's Texas Indian Myths and Legends places the tales from a number of neighboring tribes side by side and helps dispel the mistaken impression that all Indians have similar beliefs and backgrounds.

Step into a colorful pageantry of the powerful people whose cultural legacy continues to influence the world with stories of myth, magic and mayhem, and histories of courage, migration and renewal. Out of the mystical Smoky Mountains come the Cherokee. Down from the towering desert pueblos march the Tigua. Across the wind-swept Great Plains ride the Kiowa. Out of the verdant woodlands of the Great Lakes appear the Kickapoo. These epic tales of comedy, tragedy and destiny from the land of the free and the home of the brave build on the successful Texas Indian Myths and Legends.
