Pacific Northwest Americana ^ y THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IRVINE Gift of THIi HONNOLD LIBRARY PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECKLIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COMPILED BY CHARLES W. SMITH Associate Librarian, Universitg of Washington Library Edition 2, Revised and Enlarged NEW YORK THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY London; Grafton fli Company 1921 Published April 1921 : PREFACE In 1909, a union checklist of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest was published by the Washington State Library. That list represented the combined resources of thirteen representative libraries and was cooperatively prepared. The present list is based directly upon the former edition and is similar to it in all essential features. It includes descriptive material relating to the his- tory of the region lying north of California and west of the Rocky Mountains, comprising the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, together with British Columbia, Alaska and the Yukon. The word history has been used in its broadest sense including a wide range of literature bearing upon the region. The following classes of material have been excluded 1. Manuscripts. 2. State documents, because listed in Bowker and the Monthly List of State Publications. 3. Federal documents, for which there are government indexes also the Subject Index compiled by Katharine B. Judson. Exception to the rule has been made in the case of some few state and federal docu- ments of rarity and importance. 4. Periodicals published in the region, except those devoted mainly or wholly to history. Serials, however, as year-books and publications of societies have been included as a part of the institutional history of the Pacific Northwest. 5. Maps, except those independently issued and bound in book form. City documents have been largely omitted on the assumption that each city library will have specialized in its own local publications. Directories have been omitted if published after 1900. Reprints and excerpts from magazines, when of historical importance, have been included. The checklist is of date January 1, 1920. Of the thirteen libraries represented in the first edition, the following three ^ have withdrawn : Montana State Library, the Library of Pacific University, and the Library of Washington State College. Unique items from these libraries, however, are retained in the present edition. The new edition is greatly strength- ened by the cooperation of the following additional libraries : University of Brit- ish Columbia Library, Library of the Oregon Historical Society, Oregon State Librart, and the public libraries of Boise, Idaho, and Tacoma, Washington. The edition of 1909 was intended primarily as a librarian's handbook for use in a cooperative development of library resources. How well it served that purpose may be judged from the present survey disclosing more than twice the number of distinct items and a still greater increase in the total number of vol- umes reported. vi PREFACE III the belief that the present hst may prove of more general service as a bibliography of Pacific Northwest Americana, its publication has been placed with a house whose bibliograi)hicaI works are widely known and used. It may not be amiss to mention that certain changes in style, such as deletion of punc- tuation, have been made to conform to the standards established by this house. The work has been prepared with the endorsement of the Pacific Northwest Library Association. Acknowledgment is here made of the prompt and enthusi- astic assistance of the staflP members who furnished the data from each library. Charles W.

  • An Early St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon Bilingual' Text 1 Introduction 1 2 About the Newspaper
    "Fox and Cayooty": an early St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon bilingual' text Henry Davis and David Robertson University of British Columbia and CHINOOK List This paper contains a transliteration (from the original Duployan shorthand) and . translation of an early bilingual St'at'imcets-Chinook Jargon text, with accompanying historical, orthographical and grammatical notes. The story was first published in 1892 in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper by the oblate priest J-M.R. Le Jeune; it thus counts as one of the earliest texts in either language. 1 Introduction 1 It is well known to the student of Salishan languages and cultures that before the time of Franz Boas, extremely few coherent texts, as opposed to relatively numerous fragmentary word-lists, of northwest Native American languages were collected and published. The nascent modern disciplines of anthropology and linguistics demanded such documentation. However, another force besides science played a considerable role in the earliest recordings of indigenous languages of this region: The activities of Christian missionaries, which led to work allowing in some cases (viz. Joseph Giorda, S1's 1871 dictionary of Kalispel) an excellent view of historical stages in the lives of these languages otherwise lost to us.2 An example of the same phenomenon is available to us also in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper published by Oblate father J.-M.R. Le Jeune from 1891 to about 19043, primarily in the Chinook Jargon, of which it is an extensive and often overlooked document. In volume 2, Issue 47 of Kamloops Wawa, dated October 16 [sic], 18924, we find under the English heading "Recreative" the following: Kopa Pavilion ilihi nsaika tlap ukuk hloima syisim kopa Lilwat wawa[:] Fox and Cayooty.~.

  • Native American Languages, Indigenous Languages of the Native Peoples of North, Middle, and South America
    Native American Languages, indigenous languages of the native peoples of North, Middle, and South America. The precise number of languages originally spoken cannot be known, since many disappeared before they were documented. In North America, around 300 distinct, mutually unintelligible languages were spoken when Europeans arrived. Of those, 187 survive today, but few will continue far into the 21st century, since children are no longer learning the vast majority of these. In Middle America (Mexico and Central America) about 300 languages have been identified, of which about 140 are still spoken. South American languages have been the least studied. Around 1500 languages are known to have been spoken, but only about 350 are still in use. These, too are disappearing rapidly. Classification A major task facing scholars of Native American languages is their classification into language families. (A language family consists of all languages that have evolved from a single ancestral language, as English, German, French, Russian, Greek, Armenian, Hindi, and others have all evolved from Proto-Indo-European.) Because of the vast number of languages spoken in the Americas, and the gaps in our information about many of them, the task of classifying these languages is a challenging one. In 1891, Major John Wesley Powell proposed that the languages of North America constituted 58 independent families, mainly on the basis of superficial vocabulary resemblances. At the same time Daniel Brinton posited 80 families for South America. These two schemes form the basis of subsequent classifications. In 1929 Edward Sapir tentatively proposed grouping these families into superstocks, 6 in North America and 15 in Middle America.

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

  • Mobilian Jargon in Historiography: an Exercise in the Ethnohistory of Speaking
    24 Southern Anthropologist Mobilian Jargon in Historiography: An Exercise in the Ethnohistory of Speaking Emanuel J. Drechsel University of Hawaii, Manoa Patricia Galloway (2006: 225-244) made Mobilian Jargon the subject matter of a chapter in her recent book Practicing Ethnohistory – with several challenging conclusions about its structure, functions, and sociohistorical contexts that call for a response. My essay addresses fundamental misconceptions about this Muskogean- based pidgin language, while raising some broader issues of documentation and analysis relevant to the historical sociolinguistics of greater Louisiana. More to a Name Than Meets the Eye Throughout her essay, Galloway refers to the pidgin as “Mobilian” without the modifying attachment of “Jargon.” The use of the short form would seem a minor terminological difference, were she not to use the same name in reference to Mobilian proper when discussing the Mobilian Indians’ language. This leads to a fundamental confusion of the vernacular and the pidgin by the same name. As I pointed out (Drechsel 1997: 52, 205, 234), it is imperative to differentiate “Mobilian Jargon” from “Mobilian” (like other pidgins and their source languages such as “Chinook Jargon” versus “Chinook” and “Delaware Jargon” versus “Delaware”) because of fundamental extralinguistic as well as grammatical differences between them (Silverstein 1996, 1997). Mobilian Jargon was a Muskogean-based pidgin with a morphologically reduced, analytical grammar; Mobilian proper a Native American vernacular of so far unidentifi ed provenance, with a full-fl edged, synthetic or possibly even polysynthetic grammar and a complex morphology of infl ections and/or affi xations. To imply that Mobilian Jargon directly related to Mobilian proper misrepresents linguistic and historical facts.

  • Pidgins and Creoles
    Chapter 7: Contact Languages I: Pidgins and Creoles `The Negroes who established themselves on the Djuka Creek two centuries ago found Trio Indians living on the Tapanahoni. They maintained continuing re- lations with them....The trade dialect shows clear traces of these circumstances. It consists almost entirely of words borrowed from Trio or from Negro English' (Verslag der Toemoekhoemak-expeditie, by C.H. De Goeje, 1908). `The Nez Perces used two distinct languages, the proper and the Jargon, which differ so much that, knowing one, a stranger could not understand the other. The Jargon is the slave language, originating with the prisoners of war, who are captured in battle from the various neighboring tribes and who were made slaves; their different languages, mixing with that of their masters, formed a jargon....The Jargon in this tribe was used in conversing with the servants and the court language on all other occasions' (Ka-Mi-Akin: Last Hero of the Yakimas, 2nd edn., by A.J. Splawn, 1944, p. 490). The Delaware Indians `rather design to conceal their language from us than to properly communicate it, except in things which happen in daily trade; saying that it is sufficient for us to understand them in that; and then they speak only half sentences, shortened words...; and all things which have only a rude resemblance to each other, they frequently call by the same name' (Narratives of New Netherland 1609-1664, by J. Franklin Jameson, 1909, p. 128, quoting a comment made by the Dutch missionary Jonas Micha¨eliusin August 1628). The list of language contact typologies at the beginning of Chapter 4 had three entries under the heading `extreme language mixture': pidgins, creoles, and bilingual mixed lan- guages.

  • Mamook Kom'tax Chinuk Pipa/Learning to Write Chinook
    77 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES Mamook Kom'tax Chinuk Pipa/Learning to Write Chinook Jargon: Indigenous Peoples and Literacy Strategies in the South Central Interior of British Columbia in the Late Nineteenth Century Emma Battell Lowman University of Hertfordshire ABSTRACT During the mid-nineteenth century, the advent of multiple gold rushes swept foreign popula- tions into what is now known as the British Columbia Interior, bringing a variety of European languages to the homeland of a multitude of Indigenous languages. In order to bridge commu- nication gaps between these populations, Chinook Jargon, a composite trade pidgin, quickly spread. The Jargon or “Wawa” became so common that, in the last decade of the century, Catholic priest Father J. M. R. Le Jeune developed and standardized a shorthand writing sys- tem for the Jargon — Chinuk pipa — and used it to publish a popular local newspaper. At the same time, residential schools began operating in the region, and English was aggressively promoted; however, contrary to expectations at the time and perceptions since, English literacy developed slowly in the British Columbia Interior. By contrast, Chinook pipa spread quickly and literacy in the Chinook Jargon — for a time — outstripped English literacy. Drawing on extensive primary research in the archives of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate missionary order, interviews, and literature in linguistics, missionary history, Indigenous languages, and colonial exchange, this article considers the different learning and teaching strategies that were used to develop English and Chinook literacy, and their subsequent successes or failures. In so doing, it challenges understandings about the role of pidgins and literacy in more global settler colonial contexts and offers an intervention to the wider theme of the role of literacy in the missionary project.
