CHIEF BIG CANOE'S LETTER GEORGINA ISLAND, LAKE SIMCOE. REV. EGERTON R. YOUNG. DEAR FRIEND: Your book of stories gathered from among my tribe has very much pleased me. The reading of them brings up the days of long time ago when I was a boy and heard our old people tell these tales in the wigwams and at the camp fire. I am very glad that you are in this way saving them from being forgotten, and I am sure that many people will be glad to read them. With best wishes, KECHE CHEMON (Charles Big Canoe), Chief of the Ojibways The Reverend Egerton R. Young (1840-1909) was a Wesleyan Methodist minister born in Ontario who served as a missionary among the Algonquin, Cree and Ojibwa.

"For thirty years or more we have been gathering up these myths and legends. Sometimes a brief sentence or two of one would be heard in some wigwam--just enough to excite curiosity--then years would elapse ere the whole story could be secured. As the tribes had no written language, and the Indians had to depend entirely upon their memory, it is not to be wondered at that there were, at times, great divergences in the recital of even the most familiar of their stories. We have heard the same legend given by several story-tellers and no two agreed in many particulars. Others, however, were told with very slight differences."
