Book Synopsis Heckewelder's Vocabulary of Nanticoke by : John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder
Book excerpt: "Native American Language, Algonquian language, linguistics, language dictionary. This volume features 146 words of this Maryland language collected in 1785 by John Heckewelder, a Moravian missionary. Heckewelder compiled the vocabulary from a Nanticoke chief residing in Canada, probably at Six Nations Reserve. The volume was collated from various manuscripts found in the collections of the American Philosophical Society and contains valuable background information gleaned from Heckewelder's personal correspondence."
