On a day book, or account book, kept by Matthew Mayhew between 1780-1785, is a thunderbird (bird figure) covering most of the back of the daybook cover. The thunderbird is 12 ½ inches from wing tip to wing tip and 9 inches from head to tip of the tail feathers. The thunderbird plays an important role in Algonquian cosmologies. This is the earliest and most elaborate ethnographic example of a thunderbirdfrom New England. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
