WF Hiawatha; revived from an 1889 original

I spotted this one a few years back in "The Inland Printer". It was a mishmash of different styles, culminating in a crazy, calligraphic M. I saw no potential in a revival, but kept coming back to it. Recently, I had some spare time and decided to get it out of my system. While I was at it, I included a bunch of cuts from the 1891 edition of "The Song of Hiawatha". Not sure where all of it might be useful; I certainly haven't seen the original in use anywhere. Well, it was a fun project anyway. I'd love to hear opinions!
