Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Indian Music Lecture; The Zuñi Indians and Their Music: An Address Designed for Reading at Musical Gatherings, Describing the Lives, Customs, Religions, Occult Practices, and the Surprising Musical Development of the Cliff Dwellers of the South West
The childlike simplicity of the man, the God-given right of belief in his own thoughts and convictions, unobtrusively disclosed in conversation with him; the pure and elevating thoughts which he utters, together with a spiritual yet powerful personality, make a meeting with him a thing to be coveted and afterward remembered.
Carlos Troyer has had a remarkable career. He started life as a musician. While his scientific fancies have taken him to the odd places of the earth, his great love of music still abides with him. Mr. Troyer was born in Mainz in 1837. His childhood was associa ted with a musical ambition. Having as his teachers the best musicians of Europe, he early mastered the violin and the piano. He had the friendship of both Jenny Lind and Franz Liszt and often met with Liszt to play over this great composer's piano music.
