volume from the American Language Reprint series:

Volume 21:

Cummings' Vocabulary of Shawnee
Richard W. Cummings, 1851

This vocabulary of about 320 words of Shawnee was drawn from a questionnaire
prepared by Henry Schoolcraft and subsequently published in his Indian Tribes
(1851-1857). It was originally collected by U.S. Indian agent Richard W.
Cummings,
most likely from the Shawnees of Kansas.

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 North American historical linguists
and the
Native American studies scholars.
