So do we know anybody at Whitman (not quite the same question as "do we
know anybody in Walla Walla"! ;-)* If such a work is languishing in a dusty
corner of the Whitman library, perhaps somebody ought to get me a grant to
go prepare it for the Web. ;-)

*PS to non-Washingtonians: Walla Walla, where Whitman College is located,
is also the site of the Washington State Penitentiary, the main state
prison. To say one "knows somebody in Walla Walla" has a rather
non-academic feel to it. Other Washington toponyms with similar
connotations include Monroe (state reformatory), Purdy (state women's
prison), Steilacoom (Western Washington State Hospital, a psychiatric
lockup) and when I was a kid, Sedro-Woolley (the now defunct Northern State
Hospital for the Criminally Insane). My mom was from Sedro-Woolley, and so
I can appreciate perhaps better than many Anglos the hurtfulness of "squaw"
toponyms. OTOH, Washington State's *Bellevue* does *not* have the Bedlamite
connotations it might elsewhere.
