The charm of [Dr. Speck's] book is matched only by the quiet dignity and poetic imagery of the Cayuga. Immersing himself in the native scene, the author entered sympathetically into the spirit of their thought... Both the prayers and myths are remarkable for their power and loveliness. -Canadian Historical Review| Since Speck's attitude towards native religion was charged with the highest respect and sympathy, he always was extremely successful in eliciting the cooperation of informants in securing reliable information... Speck's linguistic gifts also facilitated such inquiries. -American Anthropologist
