Klahowya.  I received this inquiry via the Web page and made a lame
reply as I am not familiar with Long's work.  I am passing it along
here in case anyone wishes to contribute a comment.

Regards,

Jeff

>>I have a published copy of the Dictionary of the Chinook Jargon by Frederic J. Long written in 1909.  I was told that there was only 5 of these written.  I was wondering if you could tell me about it.
