For over twenty years, John Hanson Mitchell has visited Beaver
Brook almost daily. This small, slow-flowing Massachusetts stream
was of vital importance for early settlers and an indispensable
resource for the Native peoples who lived and fished along its
shores, but it has been largely forgotten in our own time.
Revisiting the river's oxbows, bends, and marshes over the course
of a year, Legends of the Common Stream combines a natural history
of Beaver Brook with a study of the people who lived on this land
and a meandering, but stunning, examination of the myths and
legends that can help us to better understand humanity's
relationship to the natural world. While Mitchell never leaves the
brook's shores, he draws from a range of traditions and takes
readers on excursions to regions and cultures across the globe and
across time, making the case that our contemporary separation from
nature goes hand in hand with our alienation from the world of
myth. This book seeks to restore these broken relationships and
offers the reminder that while cultures may come and go, the stream
goes on forever.
