Willis Eugene Everette

[David Lewis]

Hi Dave-
Yes we have a number of Everette's letters and other documents in the 
SWORP Collection at the University of Oregon. All of the tribes in 
Oregon have copies of these items. There are placenames as well as 
Chinook Jargon subjects in his documents. The original manuscripts are 
at the National Anthropological Archives in Maryland.
