    I'm glad I listened to this. The narrator has a great voice and a nice even tone without the drawback of being boring. It is almost as though I am sitting next to someone that is sharing the stories. What's more, this is a nice short listen for anyone interested in this sort of lore. In regards to the stories themselves, it was hit and miss. Some stories were engaging and others not so much. Overall I enjoyed this.

    Written in a by-gone era, Twain was ahead of his age. He tells stories that people would find shocking from their pov. Loved reading it.

    I felt like I was like listening to Native Americans passing on the history as stories to the generations. I loved the first story. The last one made me sad for what occurred and what is considered brave…sad that it is getting promoted as a positive thing. It’s interesting to hear stories from more than one kind of tribe.

    These seem pretty authentic to me, except for lacking any weird incomprehensible things that don't travel well across cultural boundaries, and being neatly divided into true stories and myth in a way that maybe not all Native American storytellers divided stories. "The Madness of Bald Eagle" and "The Chief Soldier" were the most-interesting to me, but also disturbing. The warrior ethic endorsed in these stories is not compatible with civilization, nor with living near a civilization. "The Madness of Bald Eagle" in particular could be used as an argument that the genocide of the Native Americans was necessary. If every murderer is defended to the death by their entire tribe, and every boy is raised to think that murder is brave, peace is impossible.
