Field, _Ind. Bibliog._, no. 1306; Sabin, xvii. p. 319. There is a French edition, _Antiquités Péruviennes_ (Paris, 1859). Dr. Tschudi later published _Reisen durch Süd Amerika_, in five vols.

[Squier was sent to Peru on a diplomatic mission by the United States government in 1863, and this service rendered, he gave two years to exploring the antiquities of the country. His _Peru_ embodies various separate studies, which he had previously contributed to the _Journal of the American Geographical Society_ (vol. iii. 1870-71); the _American Naturalist_ (vol. iv. 1870); _Harper’s Monthly_ (vols. vii., xxxvi., xxxvii.). He contributed “Quelques remarques sur la géographie et les monuments du Pérou” to the _Bulletin de la Société de géographie de Paris_, Jan., 1868. A list of Squier’s publications is appended to the Sale _Catalogue_ of his Library (N. Y., 1876), which contains a list of his MSS., most of which, it is believed, passed into the collection of H. H. Bancroft. Mr. Squier’s closing years were obscured by infirmity; he died in 1888.—ED.]

Angrand, _Antiquités Américaines: lettres sur les antiquités de Tiaguanaco, et l’origine présumable de la plus ancienne civilisation du Haut-Pérou_ (Paris, 1866).—ED.]
[1301] This superb work was issued at Berlin and London with German and English texts. The English title reads, _Peruvian Antiquities: the Necropolis of Ancon in Peru. A contribution to our knowledge of the culture and industries of the empire of the Incas. Being the results of excavations made on the spot._ Translated by A. H. Keane. With the aid of the general administration of the royal museums of Berlin (Berlin, 1880-87); in three folio volumes, with 119 colored and plain plates. The divisions are: 1. The Necropolis and its graves. 2. Garments and textiles. 3. Ornaments, utensils, earthenware; evolution of ornamentation, with treatises by L. Wittmack on the plants found in the graves; R. Virchow on the human remains, and A. Nehring on the animals. [A few of the plates are reproduced in black and white in Ruge’s _Geschichte des Zeitalters der Entdeckungen_. The authors represent that the graveyard of Ancon, an obscure place lying near the coast, north of Lima, was probably the burial-place of a poor people; but its obscurity has saved it to us while important places have been ransacked and destroyed. The reader will be struck with the richness of the woven materials, which are so strikingly figured in the plates. On this point Stübel published in Dresden in 1888, as a part of the _Festschrift_ of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the “Verein für Erdkunde,” a paper _Ueber altperuanische Gewebemuster und ihnen analoge Ornamente der altklassischen Kunst_ (Dresden, 1888). Some of the plates in the larger work impress one with the great variety of ornamenting skill. The collection formed by John H. Blake from an ancient cemetery on the bay of Chacota, now in the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, Mass., is described in the _Reports_ of that institution, xi. 195, 277. Reference may also be made to B. M. Wright’s _Description of the collection of gold ornaments from the “huacas,” or graves of some aboriginal races of the northwestern provinces of South America, belonging to Lady Brassey_ (London, 1885).—ED.]

[1308] [There are two or three Peruvian periodicals of some importance for their archæological papers. The _Mercurio Peruano de Historia, Literatura y Noticias publicas que da a luz la Sociedad Academica de Amantes de Lima_ (Lima, 1791-1795), appeared in twelve volumes. It is often defective, and the Spanish government finally interdicted it, as it was considered revolutionary in principle. It was edited at one time by the Père Cisneros. There is a set in Harvard College library.
The _Revista Peruana_ (Lima) has been the channel of some important archæological contributions. Others appeared in the _Museo Erudito, o los Tiempos y las Costumbres_ (Cuzco, 1837, etc.)—ED.]

[1310] I do not now believe that the idolatrous practices and legends, preserved by Arriaga and Avila, had any connection with the _Chimu_ race.

The grammar and vocabulary are usually bound up together. [The two were priced respectively by Leclerc, in 1878, at 2,500 and 600 francs.—ED.]
The grammar and vocabulary of San Tomas were reprinted at Lima in 1586 by Antonio Ricardo. In the list given by Rivero and Von Tschudi (_Antigüedades Peruanas_, p. 99), the printer Ricardo is entered as the author of this Lima edition of San Tomas.

A second edition was printed at Lima in 1619; and a third in 1700. To this third edition a vocabulary was added of the Chinchaysuyu dialect, by Juan de Figueredo. A fourth edition was published at Lima in 1754, also containing the Chinchaysuyu vocabulary, which is spoken in the north of Peru. [For this 1754 edition see Leclerc, no. 2409. It is worth about $50.—ED.]

This work is extremely rare. Only three copies are known to exist, one in the library at Madrid, one in the British Museum, which belonged to M. Ternaux Compans, and one in possession of Dr. Villar, in Peru. A copy was made for William von Humboldt from the British Museum copy, which is now in the library at Berlin.

[1341] A most graphic and picturesque account of the ceremonies attending the process of adoption is given in the _Narrative of the Captivity of Col. James Smith_. He was taken prisoner, in May, 1755, by two Delaware Indians, and carried to Fort Duquesne. He describes the methods of the men and the women in an Indian town by which he was adopted as one of the Caughnewagos. He shared the life and rovings of the tribe till 1760, when he got back to his home; accompanied Bouquet as a guide; was colonel of a regiment in our Revolutionary War, and afterwards a member of the Kentucky legislature. Here certainly was a varied career.
[1342] Governor Colden says that when he first went among the Mohawks he was adopted by them. The name given to him was “Cayenderogue,” which was borne by an old sachem, a notable warrior. He writes: “I thought no more of it at that time than as an artifice to draw a belly-full of strong liquor from me for himself and his companions. But when, about ten or twelve years after, my business led me among them,” he was recognized by the name, and it served him in good stead. (_Hist. of Five Nats._, 3d ed., i. p. 11.) The savages always took the liberty of assigning names of their own, either general or individual, to the Europeans with whom they had intercourse. The governor of Canada, for the time being, was called “Onontio”; of New York, “Corlear”; of Virginia, “Assarigoa”; of Pennsylvania, “Onas,” etc. At a council of the Six Nations with the governors of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland, held at Lancaster in June, 1744, it came under notice that the governor of Maryland had as yet no appellation assigned him by the natives. Much formality was used in providing one for him. It was tried by lot as to which of the tribes should have the honor of naming him. The lot fell to the Cayugas, one of whose chiefs, after solemn deliberation, assigned the name “To-carryhogan.” (Colden, ii. p. 89.)
[1343] From Archives of Massachusetts, vol. lxviii. p. 193:—
“For the Indian Sagamores, and people that are in warre against us.
“Inteligence is Come to us that you haue some English (especially weomen and children) in Captivity among you. Wee haue therefore sent this messenger, offering to redeeme them either for payment in goods or wompom; or by exchange of prisoners. Wee desire your answer by this our messinger, what price you demand for euery man woman and child, or if you will exchainge for Indians: if you haue any among you that can write your Answer to this our messuage, we desire it in writting, and to that end haue sent paper, pen and Incke by the messenger.

[1347] By the treaty at Lancaster, the Indians covenanted to cede to the English, for goods of the money value of £400, the lands between the Alleghanies and the Ohio. See our Vol. V. 566.—ED.
[1348] These treaties are fully presented, with all the harangues, by Colden, vol. ii.
[1349] The most capable and intelligent interpreter employed by the English for a long period, and who served at the councils for negotiating the most important treaties of this time, was Conrad Weiser. He came with his family from Germany in 1710, and settled at Schoharie, N. Y. His ability and integrity won him the confidence alike of the Indians and the English. In the _Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania_, vol. i. pp. 1-34, are autobiographical, personal, and narrative papers and journals by this remarkable man, equally characterized by the boldest spirit of adventure and by an ardent piety. He gives in full his journal of his mission from the governments of Pennsylvania and Virginia to negotiate with the Six Nations in 1737. [See Vol. V. 566.—ED.]

[1351] Governor Dinwiddie, in urging the assembly of Virginia, in 1756, to active war measures, warned them of the alternative of “giving up your Liberty for Slavery, the purest Religion for the grossest Idolatry and Superstition, the legal and mild Government of a Protestant King for the Arbitrary Exactions and heavy Oppressions of a Popish Tyrant.” (_Dinwiddie Papers_, ii. p. 515.)
[1352] In Mr. Parkman’s _Montcalm and Wolfe_, i. p. 65 and on, is a lively account of the busy zeal of Father Piquet in making and putting to service savage converts of the sort described in the text. [See Vol. V. 571.—ED.]
[1353] The excellent James Logan, who came over as secretary to William Penn, and who always claimed to be a consistent member of the Society of Friends, took an exception to a position on one point,—that of maintaining the right, and even obligation, of defensive warfare. A letter of very cogent argument to this effect was addressed by him to the Society of Friends in 1741, remonstrating with them for their opposition in the legislature to means for defending the colony. _Collections of Historl. Soc. of Penns._, i. p. 36. [See Vol V. p. 243.—ED.]
[1354] It was but a repetition of the passions and jealousies of the colonists of Massachusetts, as maddened by the devastation inflicted upon them in King Philip’s war, when they themselves broke up the settlements, then under hopeful promise, of “Praying Indians,” at Natick and other villages, the fruits of the devoted labors of the Apostle Eliot. The occasion of this dispersion and severe watch over the Indian converts was a jealousy that they had been warmed in the bosom of a weak pity merely for a deadly use of their fangs.

[1357] The official papers are given in full by Colden, who adds a very able memorial of his own, in favor of the act, addressed to Governor Burnet, in 1724. It was estimated that the Indian trade of New York increased fivefold in twelve years.

[1360] It is estimated that not less than two hundred of these scattered traders, who had confidently ventured into the wilderness on the assurance of the treaty, were massacred, after being plundered of goods of more than a hundred thousand pounds in value.
[1361] [The events of the Pontiac war can be followed in Vol. V.—ED.]
[1362] The bibliography of the subject is nowhere exhaustively done. The _Proof-sheets_ of Pilling as a tentative effort, and his later divisionary sections, devoted to the Eskimo, Siouan, and other stocks, though primarily framed for their linguistic bearing, are the chief help; and these guides can be supplemented by Field’s Indian _Bibliography_, the references for anonymous books in Sabin’s _Dictionary_ (ix. p. 86), and sections in many catalogues of public and private libraries, like the Brinley (iii. 5, 352 etc.), devoted wholly or in part to Americana, and the foot-notes and authorities given in Parkman, H. H. Bancroft, and many others.
[1363] Parkman’s merits as a historian are elsewhere recognized in the present history. See Vols. II., IV., and V. He first gave his summary of Indian character in the introductory chapter of his first historical book, his _Pontiac_. He later completed it in papers in the _North Amer. Rev._, July, 1865, and July, 1866, and finally in the introduction to his _Jesuits_.
[1364] This class of material, including the _Lettres Edifiantes_, has been examined in our Vol. IV. 292, 296, 316, etc. Cf. Shea’s _Charlevoix_, i. 88; _Glorias del segundo siglo de la compañia de Jesus, 1646-1730_ (Madrid, 1734).
Parkman calls Brébœuf the best observer among the Jesuits. On their missions see _Revue Canadienne_, Jan., 1888; _Dublin Review_, xii. (1869) 70; _Mag. Amer. Hist._, iii. 250. Margry (vol. i.) has a “Mémoire” on the Recollects, 1614-1884. Cf. _Revue Canadienne_, by S. Lesage, Feb., 1867, p. 303. On the earlier Canadian missions see N. E. Dionne in _Nouvelles Soirées Canadiennes_, i. 399; _U. S. Catholic Monthly_, vii. 235, 518, 561; and the Abbé Verreau on the beginnings of the Church in Canada, in _Roy. Soc. Canada, Proc._, ii. 63.

[1377] Such were the _Travels_ of Alexander Henry, the _Sufferings_ of Peter Williamson, and the long list of so-called “Captivities” (see Vol. V. 186, 490). Probably Mr. Samuel G. Drake was for many years the most assiduous promoter of this class of books. This compiler’s sympathetic sentiment clearly affected his rhetoric and sometimes the accuracy of his statements.

[1386] The question has often been discussed as to the origin of the title of “Indian summer,” as applied to a beautiful portion of our autumnal season. Dr. Doddridge gives us an explanation of its original significance, or, at least, of an association with it, which would make a feeling of dread rather than of romance its most striking suggestion. He says that to a backwoodsman the term in its original import would cause a chill of horror. The explanation is as follows: The white settlers on the frontiers found no peace from Indian alarms and onsets save in the winter. From spring to the early part of the autumn, the settlers, cooped up in the forts, or ever at watch in their fields, had no security or comfort. The approach of winter was hailed as a jubilee in cabin and farm, with bustle and hilarity. But after the first set-in of winter aspects came a longer or shorter interval of warm, smoky, hazy weather, which would tempt the Indians—as if a brief return of summer—to renew their incursions on the frontiers. The season, then, was an “Indian summer” only for blood and mischief. So the spell of warm open weather, of melting snows, in the latter part of February—a premature spring—was a period of dread for the frontiersmen. It was called the “pawwawing days,” as the Indians were then holding their incantations and councils for rehearsing for their spring war-parties.
[1387] Cf. further on Hildreth and his books our Vol. VII. p. 536.
[1388] There are notices of other books of this kind in Vols. V. and VII. of the present History. Particularly, may be mentioned Joseph Pritt’s _Mirror of Olden Time_ (Chambersburg, Va., 1848; 2d ed., Abingdon, Va., 1849), in which the most interesting portions are the personal narratives of such captives to the Indians as Col. James Smith, John M’Cullough, and others, the full credibility of which is vouched for by those who knew them as neighbors and associates. This class of narratives by men who for years, willingly or unwillingly, affiliated with their wild captors make very intelligible to us the fact that the whites are much more readily Indianized than are Indians led to conform to the ways of civilization. Cf. Archibald Loudon’s _Selection of some of the most interesting narratives, of outrages, committed by the Indians, in their wars with the white people. Also, an account of their manners, customs, traditions, etc._ (Carlisle, 1808-11; Harrisburg, 1888).

[1390] See Vol. V. 68.
[1391] See Vol. VII. 264.
[1392] The original paintings for the plates are now in the Peabody Museum (_Report_, xvi. 189). M’Kenney also published his _Memoirs, official and personal, with sketches of travel among the northern and southern Indians_ (N. Y., 1846), in two volumes. He had been in 1816 the agent of the United States in dealing with the Indians, and in 1824 had been put at the head of the Indian bureau.
[1393] The English editions are generally called _Illustrations of the Manners_, etc.
[1394] The best bibliographical record of Catlin’s publications is in Pilling’s _Bibliog. Siouan languages_ (1887), p. 15. Cf. Field, p. 63; Sabin, iii. p. 436.
[1395] The volume contains three interesting portraits of Catlin and reimpressions of his drawings as originally published.
[1396] For diversity of opinions respecting it see Allibone’s _Dictionary_. The modern scientific historian and ethnologist think in conjunction in giving it a low rank compared with what such a book should be. The fullest account of the bibliography of this and of Schoolcraft’s other books is in Pilling’s _Proof-sheets_. Whatever credit may accrue to Schoolcraft is kept out of sight in the title-page of a condensation of the book, which has some interspersed additions from other sources, all of which are obscurely included, so that the authorship of them is uncertain. The book is called _The Indian Tribes of the United States, edited by F. S. Drake_ (Philad., 1884), in 2 vols. There is another conglomerate and useful book, edited by W. W. Beach, _The Indian Miscellany; papers on the history, antiquities [etc.] of the American aborigines_ (Albany, 1877), which is a collection of magazine, review, and newspaper articles by various writers, usually of good character.

[1407] See Vol. IV. p. 299. The Hurons as the leading stock in Canada are, of course, to be studied in the _Jesuit Relations_ and in all the other accounts of the Catholic missions in Canada, as well as in the early historical narratives, alluded to in the text, and in such special books as the Sieur Gendron’s _Pays des Hurons_ (see Vol. IV. 305), and in the accounts of leading missionaries like Jean de Brébœuf. Cf. Félix Martin’s _Hurons et Iroquois_ (Paris, 1877); J. M. Lemoine in _Maple Leaves_, 2d ser.

[1437] This was the earliest of Morgan’s important writings on the Iroquois, but the full outcome of all his views on the Indian character and life can only be studied by following him through his later _Ancient Society_, his _Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity_, and his _Houses and House-life of the American Aborigines_. Cf. Pilling’s _Proof-sheets_ for a conspectus of his works. Morgan’s early studies on the Iroquois sensibly affected his judgment in his later treatment of all other North American tribes.
[1438] Hale has also contributed to the _Mag. Amer. Hist._, 1885, xiii. 131, a paper on “Chief George H. M. Johnson, his life and work among the Six Nations;” and to the _Amer. Antiquarian_, 1885, vii. 7, one on “The Iroquois sacrifice of the white dog.”

The early writers to elucidate the condition of the Delawares soon after the white contact are Vanderdonck, Campanius, Gabriel Thomas, and later there is something of value in Peter Kalm’s _Travels_. The early authorities on Pennsylvania need also to be consulted, as well as the _Penna. Archives_, and the _Collections_ of the Penna. Hist. Soc., and its _Bulletin_, whose first number has Ettwein’s _Traditions and language of the Indians_. Of considerable historical value is Charles Thomson’s _Enquiry_ (see Vol. V. 575), and the relations of the Quakers to the tribes are surveyed in an _Account of the Conduct of the Society of Friends towards the Indian Tribes_ (Lond., 1844); but other references will be found _post_, Vol. V. 582, including others on the Moravian missions, the literature of which is of much importance in this study.
