Ridout's Vocabulary of Shawnee

by Thomas Ridout

Overview

This volume reproduces a vocabulary recorded by an English merchant named Thomas Ridout who compiled a list of 400 Shawnee words in the late-18th century. Ridout was taken prisoner by the Shawnees and adopted by a chief named Kakinathucca. He subsequently learned to speak their language and recorded his vocabulary on scraps of tea paper. This vocabulary was first printed as an appendix to Ridout's letters in 1890, and is one of the earliest major vocabularies of the Shawnee language.
