Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The legends of a people are of interest to the scholar, the thinker, and the poet. The legends tell us of the struggles, the tri umphs, and the wanderings of the people, of their thoughts, their aspirations; in short, they give us a twilight history of the race.
