The Native Races [of the Pacific states], Volume 3, Myths and Languages
The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft, Volume 3
The third volume of Hubert Howe Bancroft's Native Races of the Pacific States, first published in the 1870s, is divided between mythology and language. The first half gathers what Spanish chroniclers, missionaries and travelers recorded of creation stories, animal myths, gods, worship and beliefs about the afterlife among the peoples of western North America, from Alaska to Panama, opening with the Quiché creation narrative of the Popol Vuh. The second half surveys the languages of the same region, family by family, from the Arctic to the Aztec and Maya tongues of Mexico and Central America. Bancroft compiled rather than traveled, but the volume remains a large and convenient digest of early sources. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
