Summary:
"
Pauline
Johnson
was an unusual and unique presence on the literary scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Part Mohawk and part European, she was a compelling female voice in the midst of an almost entirely male writing community. Having discovered her talent for public recitation of
poetry
,
Johnson
relied on her ancestry and gender to establish an international reputation for her stage performances, during which she appeared in European and native costume. These poems were later collected under the title of "Flint and Feather" (1912) and form the source of the selections appearing in this volume. Later, suffering from ill health,
Pauline
Johnson
retired from the stage and devoted herself to the writing of
prose
, collected in "Legends of Vancouver," "The Moccasin Maker" (1913), and "The Shagganappi" (1913), gleanings from which form part of this collection."--From publisher.
