Hodge, Frederick Webb, ed. Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico. 2 pts. pt. 1. $1.25. Supt. of doc.
7–35198.
Treats of all the tribes north of Mexico, including the Eskimo, and those tribes south of the boundary more or less affiliated with those in the United States. It has been the aim to give a brief description of every linguistic stock, confederacy, tribe, subtribe or tribal division, and settlement known to history or even to tradition, as well as the origin and derivation of every name treated, whenever such is known, and to record under each every form of the name, and every other appellation that could be learned.
“Though confessedly incomplete, the handbook represents a vast amount of research by an army of observers, and students of ethnography will look forward to the publication of the second part with keen anticipation.”

“It is fair to say that in the future, students of the American Indian must have this manual always at hand. The Bureau and the editor are to be congratulated upon this publication which is, in a certain sense, among many contributions to scholarship, the greatest which the Bureau has yet made.”
