Lee + + Oogashik, 1896 + + + * * * * * + + +PREFACE + +The author, in placing this little book before the public, feels that +in so doing he adds his mite to the useful and timely literature of +the day. The ground has not been covered before, and all travelers in +the Alaskan Peninsula will appreciate to its fullest extent the purpose +of this work. + +The aborigines of this far away country have no written language, and +this work aims to put before the traveler or trader a means of +communication with this people which it is hoped will be of mutual +benefit to both. + +Many years of residence in this country and thorough familiarity with +its people, have, we believe, well equipped us for the realization of +our task. + THE AUTHOR + + + * * * * * + + +Alaska Indian Dictionary. + + +A +
