A Vocabulary of Susquehannock (American Language Reprints Series)

The book follows the version translated by Peter S. Duponceau in 1834, with added material from the original 1696 Swedish edition. Discrepancies between the two editions are fully noted and catalogued in the appendix.Thomas Campanius Holm is the author of 'A Vocabulary of Susquehannock (American Language Reprints Series)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781889758855 and ISBN 188975885X.
