When two large cities stand opposite to one another on the banks of ariver, it is not likely they can do very well without a bridge toconnect them. Yet the citizens of New York and Brooklyn were obliged tomanage as best they could for a good many years before they had theirbridge. There were many difficulties in the way. For one thing, theriver is very broad; for another, the tall-masted ships ply up and downso frequently that it would never do to build anything which wouldobstruct their passage; and to overcome these difficulties would meanthe expenditure of a vast sum of money.

Folk-Lore and Legends: North American Indian
- Author: Anonymous
- Genre: Comic Strips
Long before people mastered reading and writing they used to keep their legends telling them by word of mouth form one generation to another. Just 300 years ago millions of Indians inhabited the territory of North America. But Christian advocates mercilessly eliminated all the attributes of the American Indian culture, which run counter to religious dogmas of Vatican. The result was almost total loss of their cultural heritage, both written and verbal. The scientists are nothing else left to do but gather the information of the North American Indians, spared by a miracle, which can be found in folk-lore, legends and myths. This book provides the material that could be of great interest for all lovers of the mythological heritage of these people, their character and beliefs, imagination, magnanimity, moral sentiment, tender feeling, and humour.
