Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Bureau of American Ethnology, to which I am especially indebted, not only for much information concerning Indian names, but for guidance, advice, and suggestions in obtaining sources of informa tion. Indeed, most of the information concerning the meaning of Indian names is derived, either directly or indirectly, from this source.
