About This Item
Amherst: Amherst Press 1963. (Small 4to) 256pp. Very good, no dust jacket. Light brown leatherette with gilt lettering. Black and white and duotone photographs and illustrations, maps, color illustrated plate, bibliography. The front cover has several small white scuff marks and some of the gilt is rubbed. "These are the legends of the Healer. This is the drama of Mahnt-Azoma, or Tl-Acoma, the Might, sometimes called Kate-Zahl, the Prophet. The backdrop is not the land as we know it, for the action moves through many climates changed by the passage of two millenia; through mines long buried under a forest cover; through valleys once fertile and rich in commerce which have long returned to barren desert". (Mythology, Folklore, Indians of Central America, Indians of North America, Indians of South America, Indigenous Peoples, Legends, Mythology, Tall Tales).
Synopsis
Almost two thousand years ago a mysterious white man walked from tribe to tribe among the American Nations. He came to Peru from the Pacific, He traveled through South and Central America, among the Mayans, into Mexico and all of North America, then back to ancient Tula, from whence he departed across the Atlantic to the land of his origin. Who was this white Prophet who spoke a thousand languages, healed the sick, raised the dead, and taught in the same words as Jesus himself? These are true Indian legends, gathered during twenty-five years of research by L. Taylor Hansen, archaeologist, from many different tribes all over the Americas.This is a book that will back up the New Testament of the East, with the Christian Indian legends of the West. In this book is proof that the Savior came not only to one continent, but to all the world.
