You probably already have this from the APS library catalog.  I didn't see any ref. to 1943 materials, but there are also entries under the Boas collection.  There are references to George Herzog and N.P. Herzog, but not with reference to Winnebago.      Bob

Dear Siouanists,

Amelia Susmann mentions in the preface to her PhD Dissertation "The Accentual
System of Winnebago" (1943) that she had recorded "ritualistic and narrative
(Hocank) texts amounting to some fifteen thousand words" as well as a dozen of
"records on the phonograph" together with Dr. Herzog. Does anyone has an idea
whether these materials still exist somewhere, or where it makes sense to look
for in order to find them. Does anyone know who Dr. Herzog was?

Every hint is wellcome - with my best wishes and seasonal greetings

Johannes
