Ah, that sounds possible (i.e., the Smithsonian's, being a gov't pub, is
not in copyright and could be reprinted freely).  However, there is indeed
an 1863 Craimoisy ed. of Gibbs' "Alpabetical Vocabulary of the Chinook
language," which has led to some confusion with his Jargon dictionary. (I
also have copies of both which I made at the Multnomah Co. library.)
