Whence These Legends and Traditions

And then a strong iconic ink rendering of Hiawatha himself by John R. Neill, the illustrator who brought to life so much of the land of Oz.

John R. Neill — Hiawatha — 1909

Should you ask me, whence these stories?
Whence these legends and traditions . . .

Always wonderful to see Neill's work. I've seen almost everything he ever did for Oz, but very little outside of that. Thank you for this one.

The man deserves a monograph of his whole body of work, don't you think?
