Which is more accurate?
Which is more accurate; the 1896 printing or the 1964 version of Longfellows "Song of Hiawatha"? I recently acquired a copy that was published in 1896 and have found MANY discrepancies between it and the 1964 copy that I took out of my local library. Does an epic poem like this evolve with each publishing or are the differences errors. EXAMPLE: "Stilled his fretful wail by saying, Hush the naked bear will get thee" (1896) VS "Hush the naked bear will hear thee" (1964).
