This review is from: Cummings' Vocabulary of Shawnee (American Language Reprints) (Hardcover)

This is an interesting book from a historical linguistics perspective. It is a reprint of an 1850's vocabulary of Shawnee recorded by Indian agent Richard Cummings. It is a very small volume, however, and there is no phonetic key. For what it is, this is a good book, but don't buy it expecting to learn the Shawnee language from it.
