'Everyone has heard of the case of Elizabeth Canning, ' writes Mr.
John Paget; and till recently I agreed with him. But five or six
years ago the case of Elizabeth Canning repeated itself in a
marvellous way, and then but few persons of my acquaintance had
ever heard of that mysterious girl. The recent case, so strange a
parallel to that of 1753, was this: In Cheshire lived a young woman
whose business in life was that of a daily governess. One Sunday
her family went to church in the morning, but she set off to skate,
by herself, on a lonely pond. She was never seen of or heard of
again till, in the dusk of the following Thursday, her hat was
found outside of the door of her father's farmyard. Her friend
discovered her further off in a most miserable condition, weak,
emaciated, and with her skull fractured.
The Shelf2Life Native American Studies Collection is a unique set
of pre-1923 materials that explore the characteristics and customs
of North American Indians. From traditional songs and dance of the
Apache and Navajo to the intricate patterns of Arapaho moccasins,
these titles explore the symbolic meaning of Native American music
and art. Complex relationships between tribal groups and government
are also examined, highlighting the historic struggle for land
rights, while the retelling of ancient myths and legends emphasize
a belief in the interconnection of humans and nature and provide
readers with significant insight into a culture deeply rooted in
spirituality. The Shelf2Life Native American Studies Collection
provides an invaluable perspective into Native American culture and
politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
