This classic collection contains myths, legends, and folklore of the principal Wabanaki, or northeastern Algonquin Indians, i.e. the Passamaquoddies and Penobscots of Maine and the Micmacs of New Brunswick. Most of this material was gathered directly from Indian narrators by Charles G. Leland (1824-1903), a brilliant and gifted Philadelphia-born journalist, essayist, and folklorist.In compiling the work, Leland noted interesting affinities between the myths of the Northeastern tribes and those of the Eskimos, and striking similarities between the myths of the Algonquins and the Eddas, sagas and popular tales of Scandinavia. For example, may of the stories in this book deal with Glooskap, a divinity with strong resemblances to such Norse gods as Thor and Odin. We learn how Glooskap made man from an ash tree, named the animals, gave gifts to men, went to England and France and made America known to the Europeans, and performed many other curious deeds. Here too are the merry tales of Lox, the Mischief-maker, who bears a strong resemblance to Loki of Scandinavian mythology. Also included are the amazing adventures of Master Rabbit, the Chenoo legends, stories of At-o-sis the serpent, the story of the Three Strong Men, the Weewillmekq', tales of magic, and more.
Myths and legends provide unique and authentic sources of knowledge about our deepest instincts and ways of interpreting the world and our place in it. This volume remains one of the most powerful and revealing studies of the Algonquin versions of such myths, a thorough, comprehensive collection that will prove invaluable to any student of American Indian culture or myth, folklore, and religion. General readers will also find these tales highly readable and delightfully entertaining.

Great kit for beards!
Size: 4 Piece Set
I had struggled with an itchy face/beard forever. Just thought my face was dry so I used lotion but it did not resolve the itch. Did some research and saw this brand recommended by multiple sites. I decided to give it a try.
Since using these products, my face/beard no longer itches! Shaving (cleaning up my beard edges) with the shave cream seems to feel much smoother too. It feels as it softens the hairs which then requires less effort to shave off.
Follow this up with the good and lightly scented beard oil to leave a smooth feeling, no-itch beard.
Would definitely love bigger sized containers but I would definitely recommend these Jack Black beard products.

Great value for quality product.
Scent: Spiced Vanilla, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Excellent quality and value. Makes my skin soft when applied after shower. Great to pair with any fragrance with gourmand notes. Not too greasy/blends well/not heavy after applying. Quality ingredients. All around great product.

Great Scent
Scent: Sweet Tobacco, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking for an everyday lotion that was close to the scent of some of my other personal items (shaving creams, etc). This was a shot in the dark, given that I have never used any of this company's products in the past. However, I was actually quite surprised today when I received this lotion. The packaging was nice enough, which sometimes isn't really all that important, but I always look at packaging as a sign of how much an organization cares for their products. The lotion its self has a great scent. I applied the lotion a few hours ago, and while the initial smell is a little strong, it fades quite nicely, leaving a more subtle smell hours later. I didn't find this lotion to be very greasy, especially after about 5 mins. I'm looking forward to using this over a longer period of time to better gauge its moisturizing effectiveness.
