Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales: With Notes on the Origin, Customs and Characters of the Pawnee PeopleIn the late 1880s the ethnologist and writer George Bird Grinnell visited the Pawnee Agency in Indian Territory. To Eagle Chief, whom he had known for many years, he explained the object of his visit: Father, we have come down here to . . . ask the people about how things used to be in the olden times, to hear their stories, to get their history, and then to put all these things down in a book. The chief meditated for a time and then said: It is good
In the late 1880s the ethnologist and writer George Bird Grinnell visited the Pawnee Agency in Indian Territory. To Eagle Chief, whom he had known for many years, he explained the object of his visit: Father, we have come down here to . . . ask the people about how things used to be in the olden times, to hear their stories, to get their history, and then to put all these things down in a book. The chief meditated for a time and then said: It is good and it is time. Already the old things are being lost, and those who know the secrets are many of them dead. . . . The old men told their grandchildren, and they told their grandchildren, and so the secrets and the stories and the doings of long ago have been handed down.The result of Grinnell's field work was Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales, first published in 1899. Here are stories about a Pawnee youth who serves as a peacemaker and a warrior's quest for lost joy, and such tales as The Dun Horse, The Bear man, The Snake Brother, and The Ghost Wife. Extended notes describe the origins and migrations of the Pawnees, their customs, methods of warfare, and later history.

Boys’ Formal Tuxedo Suit
I’m very satisfied with the Boys’ Formal Tuxedo Suit! The suit looked exactly like the pictures, the material feels nice, and it fit my boy perfectly. Delivery was on time and the packaging was good. Great quality for the price!

Great value and quality, runs slightly small.
This is a great deal and fit perfectly! My kid is more of a size 10 but I ordered size 12. It's only slightly big in the waist but the pants have elastic adjusters so we were able to make it work. It's great quality! We ordered yellow for a school play but I plan to order other colors because my kid feels like a million bucks in his new suit.

A great option for those looking to save some money!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Last May I got married in Alaska on a glacier. I wanted a suit/tux that would not only look halfway decent, but one that I could expose to the elements and not feel too bad about ruining. Luckily, nothing was ruined and it ended up looking great! The fit overall was relatively true to size with the jacket being a hair too narrow for shoulders. The material was surprisingly very comfortable and well made. I have a longer torso and the jacket was the perfect length as well. I've never been one to go all out spending a ton of money buying or renting a suit or tuxedo, so this was genuinely a lifesaver at the time. If you're in a pinch and need something nice to wear, or just looking to save some money, you won't be disappointed.

My Husband Gets SOOOO Many Compliments
Color: Royal Blue, Size: X-Small
My husband has a closet full of suits. I try to make sure he has 7 suits available to wear, so when his blue one started looking bad, I started looking for a new one, but with inflation money has been tight lately. I saw the price and the reviews on this one and thought, why not take a chance. Wow! I'm so glad I did. He loves it and he looks great. Every single time he wears it, people are like, where did you get that? That's a nice suit, and these are people who where suits (and their wives who know suits). The next time we need to replace a suit, I'm coming right back.
He loves wearing it because he is always very comfortable and so far, it hasn't shown any signs of wear.
The material is on the thinner side, but thicker than linen, and keeps its shape nicely. When we first got it, I steamed it, and I haven't needed to iron or steam it since, but he does keep it hing up when he isn't wearing it.
Tip: use the size guide. I was very hesitant to buy a size as small as it was saying for my husband, but it was right on point. It is an absolutely perfect fit.
