[Have we already talked about this book?  Caroline Leighton wrote it, and
Sasquatch published it in Seattle in 1995.  I think that's the same
publisher who gave us one or two of Terry Glavin's books!

[Mrs. Leighton spoke quite a bit of Chinook Jargon.  Maybe 20 or 30 pages
of this book have Chinook in them.

[Caroline Leighton noticed and understood much in our region.  So her book
is quite good.

[The quote about 'stick Indians' being forest-dwellers was ironically
entered in her diary when she was near Walla Walla, Washington -- in the
desert country.

[It's interesting that she heard quite a bit of Chinook Jargon around the
coast, but not at all inland.

[This is a very good book.]
