Skinner is a collection of mythological narratives and legends inspired by the landscapes and cultures of the Pacific Slope region. Written in the late 19th century, this volume highlights the rich tapestry of indigenous stories and folklore, bridging traditional Native American spiritual beliefs with the natural world. The book presents a diverse array of tales that capture the imagination and explore themes of love, revenge, nature's power, and moral lessons. In this volume, readers will encounter a multitude of stories, each illustrating unique aspects of the region's culture and beliefs. For instance, "The Voyager of the Whulge" introduces a mysterious figure who preaches love and peace to a skeptical Native American audience, while "Tamanous of Tacoma" recounts the creation of humanity through the intervention of a guardian spirit. Other tales, such as "The Wrath of Manitou" and "The Queen of Death Valley," evoke elements of divine retribution and illustrate the consequences of pride and neglect. Through these narratives, Skinner provides not only entertaining folklore but also insightful reflections on human nature and the environment, making the collection both a tribute to and a preservation of the oral traditions of the Pacific Slope.
