Sinossi

In "The Bungalow Boys on the Great Lakes," John Henry Goldfrap crafts a vivid adventure that intertwines youthful exuberance with the serene yet formidable landscapes of the Great Lakes. This work of children'Äôs literature employs a lively, descriptive style that captures the sights and sounds of summer escapades, reflecting both the natural beauty and the outdoor culture of early 20th-century America. Goldfrap's narrative not only entertains but also serves as a lens into the historical context of the 1920s, when leisure activities by the lakes became a societal staple for many families, allowing for a rich exploration of friendship, nature, and personal growth among the central characters. John Henry Goldfrap, a notable author of juvenile fiction in his era, drew inspiration from his own childhood adventures along the Great Lakes. His experiences mirror those of his characters, providing authenticity and depth to their journeys. Goldfrap'Äôs passion for nature and storytelling is evident, as he weaves educational elements about the environment and friendship into the narrative, likely reflecting his own values shaped by the idyllic settings of his youth. I highly recommend "The Bungalow Boys on the Great Lakes" for readers seeking a delightful mix of adventure and nostalgia. This book is perfect for young readers and parents alike, as it ignites imaginations while encouraging a love for nature and exploration. Goldfrap'Äôs timeless storytelling will undoubtedly resonate with anyone who appreciates the charm of childhood adventure.

Breathmaker: The History and...

Editors Charles River

The Seminole tribe is one of the best known Native American tribes, and one of the most feared among 19th century Americans and Spaniards. In fact, the origin of the term Seminole comes from a Spanish description of them as “wild”, which belies the fact that the Seminole had friendly relations with the British and Spanish during the colonial era.  
	To appreciate Seminole Native American mythology, their history and origins must be understood. Their forebears, the Muscogee, first migrated into what is now the Southeastern United States from various points in the north and west, which they accomplished by overpowering the indigenous inhabitants. The region was already occupied by several groups, including the Yuchi and Hitchiti, tribes that were likely descendants of the Moundbuilders. These tribes were subdued and then integrated into the Muscogee system. Thus, the traditions, beliefs, rituals, and mythologies of these various groups became the communal belief system of the Muscogee collective.  	 
	According to the Muscogee, humans emerged “somewhere in the west,” a location described as the “foundation of all things” or the “backbone” of the Earth. Most scholars associate this location with the Rocky Mountains, and they credit the Four Corners area of the United States as being the location for the creation myths of Native American groups like the Pueblo. Though still not commonly understood, Breathmaker became the creator god of the Seminole peoples (the name is also written as Breath Maker and Maker of Breath), and he became the center of a cycle of creation stories.
