Title
Natick Dictionary: A New England Indian Lexicon - Paperback
by James Hammond Trumbull (Author), Robert D. Madison (Introduction by), Edward Everett Hale (Introduction by)
James Hammond Trumbull was a prolific New England antiquarian and linguist. In connection with his research into the Native languages of New England, his discovery that some of the languages were highly systematic enabled him to decipher the grammar and vocabulary from rough phonetic accounts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Though Trumbull never saw his work published, the Bureau of American Ethnology finally produced the Natick Dictionary in 1903.
Since Trumbull's dictionary translates words both from Natick to English and from English to Natick, it is not only an excellent scholarly resource but also a useful learning tool for nonspecialists approaching Algonkian with only English-language skills.
Robert and Karen Madison's introduction to this edition outlines Trumbull's life and writings and also reviews the major sources Trumbull used in his research.
Author Biography

Madison is a former professor of English at the United States Naval Academy. Karen Lentz Madison teaches at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville). Together they have edited James Fenimore Cooper's Ned Myers: Or, A Life Before the Mast and are working on a critical edition of Cooper's The Wept of Wish-Ton-Wish.
