Reading edition

Wagner, Drake's Voyage, p. 147. B. Aginsky ("Psychopathic Trends in Culture," Character and Personality, VII [1939], 331-343) quotes Fletcher's description of Indian weeping and self-laceration, and calls them Pomo, asserting that Drake landed in their territory and that the ceremonies given in honor of the English exemplify the "Dionysian" phase of Pomo culture.
