Evolution Publishing is pleased to announce publication of the following
volume from the American Language Reprint (ALR) series:

Volume 22:

A Vocabulary of Seneca
Taken from Gallatin's "Synopsis of the Indian Tribes"
Anonymous, 1836

This volume offers a list of over 400 words of the Seneca language compiled
by an anonymous collector in the War Department in the late 1820s.  It also
contains an additional 89 Seneca words derived from a manuscript of J. Parish
collected prior to 1820. Both of these were originally published in Albert
Gallatin's "Synopsis of the Indian Tribes" in 1836.

October 2001 ~ clothbound ~ 75pp. ~ ISBN 1-889758-20-5 ~ US$28.00

The American Language Reprint series was conceived expressly for the
preservation and consolidation of obscure Native American linguistic records
such as this one. These vocabularies are crucial in filling in the vast
linguistic
gaps that larger works leave empty and are of vital interest to linguists and
Native American studies scholars.
