Excerpt from Legends of the Pike's Peak Region: The Sacred Myths of the Manitou

That the songs of a people are stronger than their laws; and the myths and traditions em bodying the sentiments upon which national character, national religion, are founded, are more powerful than the songs, which they inspire. A ballad of the people, a bit of folk lore, may teach us more than whole chapters of history; we can hardly understand history without such lights.

Excerpt from Legends of the Pike's Peak Region: The Sacred Myths of the Manitou

However uncouth they may be, the myths and legends of early nations, like the poetry of later, give the highest and truest exponents of their characters, and preserve with a singular fidelity the very essence of their daily lives, their fears and hopes, their assumptions and intuitions.
