Our publication contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the original work. An attempt has been made in this work to assemble only legends for certain occurrences that are taught in history, like the story of Captain Smith and Pocahontas. The bibliography of American legends is slight, and these tales were gathered from diverse sources: records, histories, newspapers, magazines, oral narrative, in every case reconstructed.
