Inhaltsangabe
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... W. D. Howells (" The Undiscovered Country," Douglas edition, Edinburgh, 1884, Vol. ii, p. 77, and p. 7) has the form chipmuck. S. S. Haldemann ("Pennsylvania Dutch," 1872, p. 58) gives "chipmunk, a groundsquirrel (Tamias): chip, probably from its cry, and Swiss munk, a marmot." Rev. VV. M. Beauchamp tells us (" Journal of Amer. Folk-Lore," Vol. ii, 1889, p. 160) that the Delaware Indians of Pennsylvania called "January the squirrel month, or the time when chipmucks came out of their holes."

Baraga gives the Ojebway for squirrel as 'atchi/amo, and Wilson as ahjidumo. The Mississaguas of Scugog, Ontario, nasalize the final 0 and make it aichitamon. The initial a of this word is often imperfectly sounded, and is liable to be dropped; thus, Long gives the Chippewa word as chetamon. Tyrrel (" Proc. Canad. Inst.," vi, 85) gives atchitamoo as the Saulteaux name of the Sciurus Hudsonius. Chipmunk is perhaps a corruption, aided by folk-etymology, of this Algonkin name of the squirrel. Joaquin Miller uses the form chipmonk (in Arizonian), and also chip-monks (in Califorman). A. F. Chamberlain. Toronto, Ont. The Bowie Knife (Vol. i, p. 49; Vol. I ii, p. 251).--Jeff. Davis tells the following 1 story of Bowie and his celebrated knife: "Henry Clay once told me of his first meeting with Colonel Bowie. It was in the i early days, and Clay was traveling in a!...
