The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

4.0

This epic poem is about native american folklore and myths and is a great story in many ways. I've never read poems and certainly never epic poetry but I definitely enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading others. The depiction of women is less than heroic, the meter used is borrowed from the Kalevala (the finnish epic) and from what i'm led to believe the folklore & myths are not entirely true folklore and myths. All that being said, I enjoyed it and want to read more and will probably look for other sources of native american folklore. I read the Free Kindle edition and found no issues at all.
