Klahowya, e-tzum sikhs!  I have added Demers' Dictionary, Catechism,
etc. to the on-line Jargon library.  Here's the scoreboard:

George Gibbs' 1863 "Dictionary of the Chinook Jargon, or Trade
Language of Oregon," http://www.geocities.com/~tenaswawa/gibbs.htm

George Shaw's 1909 The Chinook Jargon and How to Use It,
http://www.geocities.com/~tenaswawa/shaw.htm

Horatio Hale's 1890 book, "An International Idiom: A Manual of the
Oregon Trade Language, or 'Chinook Jargon'"
http://www.geocities.com/~tenaswawa/hale.htm

Rev. Modeste Demers' J.M.J. Chinook Dictionary, Catechism, Prayers
and Hymns (with the Revs. F.N. Blanchet and L.N. St. Onge, 1871)
http://www.geocities.com/~tenaswawa/demers.htm

Myron Eells' article, "The Chinook Jargon," as it appeared in The
American Anthropologist (Vol. VII, July, 1894, pp. 300-312)
http://www.geocities.com/~tenaswawa/eells.htm

Gibbs and Shaw are HTML, the rest are page images.  Let me know if
you have trouble viewing or attempting to print any of these out.

I made the frame dividing bar movable, so those of you with smaller
screens may reposition it (to make the menu smaller), hopefully
giving you room to view the whole page width without scrolling.

I guess I can do "El Commancho" now.

Regards,

Jeff
