Mead & Co., Boston. 1t is q book OF
about 500 pages, well printed and gotten
up generally in good style. The novel is
delight maker" indeed, for the reader !;
the scene is principally in a village OF the
QUERIES Pueblo Indians, in what is now
known as the Rito de los Frijoles, about
As miles west OF Santa Fe by road. The
time of the story is laid at some period
during the 18th or 18th century; Prof
| Bandelier's extensive knowledge and in
innate acquaintance with the character,
history, religion and habits OF the Pueblo
| Indians have enabled him to present to
| his readers a most interesting and true
picture and portrayal OF the Pueblo In
dams, their home-life, government, war
/ fare, family and religious customs. Law
ing commenced to read, one hates to lay
the book down till he finishes it.
The Indians, it appears, were very fond
of secret societies the system was well
developed and understood by them. In
the novel the secret society OF the "ke-
share" or delight makers, V plays al i'm
portant part; the principal characters
are very well and truthfully handled !;
some OF them are tirst-class literary pro-
auctions and impress one rs true to Ia
ture, as typical Puebos, and as they
in all reality might have existed.
| The plot Of the story is well conceived
and admirably carried out; interest in
| the fortune OF Mitsha, the pretty maiden,
and Okaya, her lover, does not lag the
old war chief, Topanashka, is a grand
character; Shotoye, the woman, and
Tyopo the man, who are the evil ones
who bring great misfortune upon the
Pueblo, may likely be found even among
the Pueblos OF this day and generation
lIayoue, the uncle Of Okaya, is q noble
lndian.
The Delight Makers is the first at
tempt in the shape OF Il novel solely and
entirely dealing with Indians and before
the time the Indians, the Pueblo or any
others were known to Europeans; the
attempt is surely success, and it is to
be hoped that Prof. Bandelier will soon
write another book in the same line; his
diction is clear and elegant his desCrip-
| tive powers are grand, and bis knowl-
! edge OF Indian human nature, the New
Mexico and Arizona Indian human na-
ture, is not surpassed by any man,
Santa Fe may well be proud to call
such an eminent archeologlst and fine
writer as Prof. Bandeier among her
citizens. Hf&
