DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Song of Hiawatha Where given in the form of an evening entertainment, by adults, literary societies or study clubs, it is best to have one or more readers read the entire poem. Much will depend upon the reading of this beauti ful poem, and it is desirable to secure as good a reader as possible. Where the entertainment is given by pupils in one room or building, it is better not to go outside for talent. The poem may be divided into sections and these may be memorized or read by the best readers or Speakers in the room, or school. A number of pupils can take part in this way. To others may be assigned the songs and instrumental music. There will usually be found one or more pianists among the pupils who will be able to give the instrumental music, if given time to prepare. The best singers will be given parts in tableaux where music is required. Boys and girls dressed as Indians may act as ushers. Others may be stationed at the table or wall where the collection of Indian relics 15 arranged. This is not necessary to the success of the entertainment, but will add considerably to the the enjoyment of those pupils who are anxious to take part in some way, but who are not available for other parts. The reading of the poem alone will require an hour, but, with the tableaux and music which accompany the readings or recitations, will furnish entertainment for an entire evening or afternoon.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Hiawatha the Indian From Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha He went to Europe to prepare himself for this work and spent nearly two years in the different countries of the Old World studying their language and literature. Returning, he taught for five years at Bowdoin. While there, in 1831, he married Mary Potter, a young lady of Portland. He was offered the professorship of modern literature and languages in Harvard University and he resigned his position at Bowdoin college to accept the one at Harvard. Again he went to Europe to study and gather rich gems from the best masters of the world. This time he was accompanied by his wife. While they were at Rotterdam she was taken suddenly ill and died. Mr. And Mrs. Bryant were at that time staying in Rotterdam and it was with them that the Longfellows made their home. We can readily understand how the poet's heart was saddened by the death of his loved wife and best friend, but by that strength of will which is apparent in all his undertakings, he applied himself to his work and not only prepared himself for his responsible position at Harvard, but also wrote the Hyperion, which has been the delight of all nations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis colourful edition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem 'The Song of Hiawatha' is specially selected with children in mind, tracing Hiawatha's life from his early years and his friendship with animals and nature spirits through his marriage to Minnehaha and his mission to teach agriculture and bring peace among the warring Ojibway, Dakota and other tribes along the US-Canadian border. The poem was first published in 1855 but is set in the age just prior to the first European settlers to North America. Profusely illustrated, the forty-eight colour and thirty-eight black and white images blend seamlessly with the hypnotic rhythm of Longfellow's famous poem, bringing the magical world of the American Indian - where dream and waking life were considered equally real - fully to life. The moon is a grandmother, a rainbow the place flowers go to when they die, dwarves (Puk-Wudjies) haunt the dark woods, and Hiawatha himself is the son of Mudjekeewis, the West Wind. Brief explanatory links between excerpted verses maintain the integrity of the story, giving even the youngest reader an understanding of the wondrous scope of this magnificent epic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo American writer of the nineteenth century was more universally enjoyed and admired than Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale literary portrait of America’s greatest popular poet. Here are the poems that created an American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden; verses like “A Psalm of Life” and “The Children’s Hour,” whose phrases and characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are the sparer, darker lyrics—"The Fire of Drift-Wood," “Mezzo Cammin,” “Snow-Flakes,” and many others—that show a more austere aspect of Longfellow’s poetic gift. Erudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in the great book-length narratives such as Evangeline and The Song of Hiawatha (both included in full) or the stories collected in Tales of a Wayside Inn (reprinted here in a generous selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse dramas, notably The New England Tragedies (also complete), are remarkable in their range and ambition. As a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow’s novel Kavanagh, a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution to the development of American fiction. A selection of essays rounds out of the volume and provides testimony of Longfellow’s concern with creating an American national literature. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
