Ah! the waves come in. Take down the sail. It will be dreadful; let us go towards the shore, lest we perish. Is there a river near? A small river comes in near here; we will fly there. Steer for that place, Sam. Now we are out of danger. A dreadful time! See, how the lake looks! We will perhaps be long wind-bound here. Let us pitch the tent here, boys, it will rain; it is cloudy. It is raining now. Bring in our luggage. We must start early in morning, if it is fine weather. 12. Usual conversation between two Indians, when they meet together in their hunting ground. Halloo! halloo!! I am glad to see you, how do you do? I am very well, and you? I am very well, thank you. What luck have you had? I have been very lucky this week. I have caught twenty beavers and five otters. Did you catch any minks? I have caught sixteen. I have also killed a bear. Was he fat? Very fat. And you, what luck have you had? How is your ground? is there plenty of beaver? Not much; but there is plenty of moose. How many moose did you kill? Twenty-two. Well, that's very good. You must have also caught few beavers. Yes, I have caught ten. Now, tell me when you intend to go down. I think I shall go down sometime next week. I wish I could get ready by that time, so as to go home with you. If you like to come down with me, I will wait for you at L6ng Lake. That's all right. Now let us part. Good-bye. Grood-bye, take care of yourself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe original edition of this important grammar of the Abenaki language was first published in 1884 by Joseph Laurent (Sozap Lol Kizitgw), chief of the Indian village of St. Francis, P.Q., Canada. Its full original title was New familiar Abenakis and English dialogues, the first vocabulary ever published in the Abenakis language, comprising: the Abenakis alphabet, the key to the pronunciation and many grammatical explanations, also synoptical illustrations showing the numerous modifications of the Abenakis verb, &c.: to which is added the etymology of Indian names of certain localities, rivers, lakes, &c., &c. Today the Abenaki language is seriously endangered and is only spoken by a few elders in Southern Quebec, although there is an active interest in its revitalization. It is a member of the Algonquin family of First Nations (Native American) Languages and is related to a number of languages spoken, or once spoken, in New England and Eastern Canadian."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKYears before Jamestown was settled, European adventurers and explorers landed on the shores of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts in search of fame, fortune, and souls to convert to Christianity. Unbeknownst to them all, the "New World" they had found was actually a very old one, as the history of the native people spanned 10,000 years or more. This work is a compilation of old and new essays written by present-day archeologists, by explorers and missionaries who were in direct contact with the Indians, and by scholars over the last three centuries. The essays are in three sections: Prehistory, which concentrates on the Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Woodland phases of the native heritage, the Contact Era, which deals with the explorers and their experiences in the New World, and Collections, Sites, Trails, and Names, which focuses on various dedications to the native population and significant names (such as the Massabesic Trail and the Cohas Brook site).
