Another Chinook Jargon Dictionary

[Francisc Czobor]

Klahowya David,
   
  There is a dictionary of Granville Stuart available on-line on Early Canadiana Online (http://www.canadiana.org/ECO/PageView/35301/0003), but it looks to be something different: it's title is "A dictionary of the Chinnook jargon, in use among the tribes of Oregon, Washington Territory, British Columbia, and the north Pacific coast, with critical and explanatory notes" and dates probably from 1865.

  Klahowya all,

The SWORP program has recieved from the National Anthropological 
Archives two dictionaries of Chinook Jargon.

The first is MS 263, Vocabulary of the Chinook Jargon, with Historical 
Note, 44pp dated Oct. 25 1868. The dictionary is arranged alphabetically 
and is labeled as if Granville Stuart is the author, but originates from 
Lieut. G.P. Belden. Reading inside of the NAA description, the first 
page is faded but reads "The Chinnook Jargon, North-western Tribes of 
Indians, Oregon, Washington & British Columbia on the North Pacific 
Coast, Lieut. G. P. Belden, 2nd Cav.

The second book is MS 264, Vocabulary of the Chinook Jargon, Collected 
by Lieut. G. P. Belden, arranged by J. Curtin. n.d. 53pp. This is also 
arranged alphabetically.

Has anyone heard of these dictionaries before? I see mention of the 
Granville dictionary online but is the Granville dictionary simply 
Granville publishing Belden's original dictionary?

David
