A Christmas Ballad of Peace Between Settlers and Indians
A ballad tells how a hostile war band nears a cabin during winter. A chief notices a stocking filled with a toy, recalling a Jesuit tale of Jesus and peace. The Indians depart after a pipe of peace as settlers receive a Christmas blessing. The origin is unknown. Fred H. Alderman transmitted it from an old paper.
