Excerpt from Lost Indian Magic: A Mystery Story of the Red Man as He Lived Before the White Men CameLike all primitive peoples they personified the hidden powers Of Nature, most Of which were feared, and they supposed that back Of all disaster stood some evil intelligence that must be appeased, or fought, with the aid Of some other power pos~ sessing greater virtue.Naturally enough, the power that, in their Opin ion, brought the greatest protection against evil, and produced the greatest blessings in abundant crops, successful hunting, and strength in battle, was symbolized by some image or Obj ect which took to itself the mighty power and gave out its magical charm, or great medicine, to the fortunate tribe who possessed it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

“Out in the region of the sage and the pine; in the far reaches of the ever-mysterious desert, the Indian campfires of the long ago heard many a tale well worth the telling. Some there were that have been handed down, through the channel of an unwrit tongue, from age to youth – told, retold, and told again until they come to the hearing of even you and me. Thus the ancient tale of Kay'-yah and the Lost Magic comes to be set down.” The authors, Pasadena, California, 1918. Author Grace Moon was a well known writer of children’s books, with a particular interest in Native American stories. She won a Newbery Honor award for children’s literature in 1929. In “Lost Indian Magic”, she tells the story of a young Native American (Kay’-yah) whose tribe’s magic went missing years earlier and his adventures as he seeks to restore the stolen magic to his people.
