White Mountain Apache Texts

Description

Author: Goddard, Pliny Earle  (1869-1928)

Publisher: American Museum of Natural History (New York)

Condition: Fair.  Binding tight.  No marks, folds.  Title page and half-title page have chipping, tears, wear to edges.  This was a copy of the original volume I’ve had for several years that had no covers. I had it rebound in a hardcover, maybe give it another 100 years of life. Bubbling to new front and rear covers  (see photo).

Notes: Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. XXIV, Part IV.  “Under the circumstances existing at the time the texts could be secured in the neighborhood of San Carlos more advantageously than on the White Mountain Reservation.  That first given, dictated by the father of Frank Crockett, is the better material, from the standpoint of phonetic transcription.  In large part this was due to the fact that the work was done with father and son; but by that time also considerable familiarity with the language had been acquired by the recorder.  The long narrative by Noze supplies a fairly abundant vocabulary with a wealth of grammatical forms.  These texts taken together with those from the San Carlos given above will perhaps be sufficient for the Apache of Arizona except for the Tonto who live some distance west and whose dialect is rather different.”  (From the Introduction)  Companion volume to San Carlos Apache Texts (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/indian/san-carlos-apache-texts/ )
