Reseña del editor:

Excerpt from Indian Names of Places Near the Great Lakes, Vol. 1

A glance at a map of the country adjacent to our Great Lakes, will show that a large number of Indian Names of places, rivers, et cetera, have been retained in their original or in a mutilated form; and it is with some of these, of Algonkin origin, with which we deal, in order to rescue from oblivion some interesting historical facts and legendary tales, as well as to give a clearer insight into the beautiful and well-equipped language of the fast disappearing race of red men who once occupied that country.

Most of these words have never appeared on the printed page, at least not in their present form; and those which the reader may have encountered in similar publications, will here be found interpreted either differently, or more fully.

Absolute freedom from errors and inaccuracies.
