This review is from: The Mobilian trade language (Hardcover)

Having grown up with a grandfather that still knew some of the language, I was additionally enlightened on reading this book.
The theme of the depth of influence of Eastern woodland Indians on the American sub-culture in South has been severely neglected. So much of what is held to be Anglo or "African" factors seem more & more to be native. Food, words, family residential & migration patterns, attutudes of self-preservation & family loyalities all seem to be in part drawn form our mixed-blood heritage. Even with those who are unaware of it.
excellent book.
