The moon-eyed people : folk tales from Welsh America
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-189).

A lone man wanders from swamp to swamp searching for himself; a wolf-girl visits Wales and eats the sheep; Lakota men re-enact the Wounded Knee Massacre in Cardiff; mountain women practise Appalachian hoodoo, native healing and Welsh witchcraft. These stories are true tales and talk tales. They tell of the lives of migrants who left Wales and settled in America, of the native and enslaved people who had long been living there and those curious travellers who returned to find their roots in the old country. There were explorers, miners, dreamers, hobos, farmers, radicals, sailors, soldiers, witches, warriors, poets, preachers, prospectors, social reformers and wayfaring strangers. The Cherokee called them: 'the Moon-Eyed People'."--Page 4 of cover.
