This song of Hiawatha first appeared in 1855, in which Mr. Longfellow has woven together the beautiful traditions of the American Indians into one grand and delightful epic poem.

The novel contains much of the philosophy current in the early years of the Victorian Age, and the novel helps shed the light of understanding on that influential period of English history.

A few chapters of this story introduced Peter Pan to the reading public. His chapters (13-18) were later published as "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens."
