Legends of Vancouver is a collection of Indigenous stories and legends from the Vancouver area, retold by E. Pauline Johnson. The book includes tales of the region's First Nations people, such as the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh. The stories cover a wide range of topics, including the creation of the world, the origins of animals, and the adventures of heroes and heroines. Johnson's retellings are infused with her own poetic style, making the stories accessible and engaging for readers of all ages. The book also includes illustrations by Indigenous artist, Arthur Shilling. Legends of Vancouver provides a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Vancouver area and the First Nations people who have called it home for thousands of years.1922. With decorations by J.E.H. MacDonald. From the Author's (E. Pauline Johnson [Tekahionwake]) Foreword: These legends (with two or three exceptions) were told to me personally by my honored friend, the late Chief Joe Capilano, of Vancouver, whom I had the privilege of first meeting in London in 1906, when he visited England and was received at Buckingham Palace by their Majesties King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. To the fact that I was able to greet Chief Capilano in the Chinook tongue, while we were both many thousands of miles from home, I owe the friendship and the confidence which he so freely gave me when I came to reside on the Pacific coast. These legends he told me from time to time, just as the mood possessed him, and he frequently remarked that they had never been revealed to any other English-speaking person save myself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
