Myths of the New World

Daniel G. Brinton

Myths of the New World, written by Daniel Garrison Brinton in 1868, is a scholarly examination of the symbolism and mythology of Native American cultures. The work aims to analyze and correlate the myths of the American Indians through a scientific lens. Notably, Brinton's theories reflect the scientific racism prevalent in his era, which has led to critical discussions about the text's interpretations and implications in contemporary scholarship.
