Excerpt from Mewanee: The Little Indian Boy Baby brother was swinging in his cradle from the branches of the tall cedar tree. Mother had made this cradle from the bark of the linden tree. It was lined with soft rushes so that baby might be quite comfortable as he lay in it. The little boy could not fall out of his queer cradle because he was tied in by means of strong deer sinews. At first baby brother seemed quite contented as the gentle wind rocked the cradle to and fro. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
