Here are singular expressions of beauty and dignity.
AUSTIN, MARY. _The Trail Book_, 1918, OP; _One-Smoke Stories_,

leading to a vista.
BANDELIER, A. F. _The Delight Makers_, 1918, Dodd, Mead, New

COOLIDGE, DANE and MARY. _The Navajo Indians_, Boston, 1930.
Readable; bibliography. OP.
COOLIDGE, MARY ROBERTS. _The Rain-Makers_, Boston, 1929. OP.
This thorough treatment of the Indians of Arizona and New
Mexico contains an excellent account of the Hopi snake
ceremony for bringing rain. During any severe drought numbers
of Christians in the Southwest pray without snakes. It always
rains eventually--and the prayer-makers naturally take the
credit. The Hopis put on a more spectacular show. See Dr.
Walter Hough's _The Hopi Indians_, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 1915.
OP.
CUSHING, FRANK HAMILTON. _Zuni Folk Tales_, 1901; reprinted,
1931, by Knopf, New York. _My Adventures in Zuni_, Santa Fe,
1941. _Zuni Breadstuff_, Museum of the American Indian, New
York, 1920. Cushing had rare imagination and sympathy. His
retellings of tales are far superior to verbatim recordings.
