"The present memoir consists of Huron and Wyandot myths, tales, and traditions. While its main part embodies first-hand material, the appendix incorporates further data from early sources. The myths tales, and traditions collected and prepared by the author, under the auspices of the Anthropological Division, were recorded in the course of a general ethnographic survey of the dispersed Huron and Wyandot bands. Various periods of field-work among the Hurons of Lorette, Quebec, and the Wyandots of Amherstburg, Essex county, Ontario, and of Wyandotte reservation, Oklahoma, covering altogether about nine months, extended from April, 1911, to September, 1912." --- from the Preface.
