The lost trappers; a collection of interesting scenes and events in the Rocky Mountains; together with a short description of California; also, some account of the fur trade, expecially as carried on about the sources of Missouri, Yellow Stone, and on the waters of the Columbia. By David H. Coyner.

Purports to be a narrative, taken from the journal of Ezekiel Williams and other sources, of the wanderings of Willims, James Workman and Samuel Spencer in the western country from 1807 to 1810. The work is called a fabrication by H. M. Chittenden (American fur trade, 1902, v. 2, p. 651-656) It apparently has, however, some foundation in fact. cf. Louis Houck, Hist. of Missouri, 1908, v. 3, p. 93-94.

The magical transformation contest in the ancient storytelling tradition

El concurso de transformación mágica, esquema narrativo difundido en la tradición popular, se presenta en dos variantes principales: los hechiceros que compiten pueden metamorfosearse en varios seres o crear esos seres por medios mágicos. En cualquier caso el concursante ganador da a luz criaturas más fuertes que superan las de su oponente. La segunda variante fue preferida en el antiguo Cercano Oriente (Sumeria, Egipto, Israel). La primera se puede encontrar en algunos mitos griegos sobre cambiadores de forma (por ejemplo, Zeus y Némesis). El mismo esquema narrativo puede haber influido en un episodio de la Novela de Alejandro (1.36-38), en el que Darío envía regalos simbólicos a Alejandro y los dos monarcas enemigos ofrecen contrastantes explicaciones de ellos. Esta historia griega racionaliza el concurso de cuento de hadas, transfiriendo las fantásticas hazañas de creaciones milagrosas a un plano secundario pero realista de metáfora lingüística.
