Traditional Wintu myths told by Grant Towendolly, primarily to Marcelle Masson, who transcribed them and wrote background material including a biographical sketch of the Towendolly family. Some myths were written down by Towendolly himself and some were dictated to other members of the Masson family. "Grant Towendolly [was] a son of William Towendolly, former headman of a Trinity County group of the Wintu Indians. Grant had been trained by his father for leadership, a preparation which included learning the myths and legends of his people and ... the correct way to narrate these stories"--P. 1.
