About This Item
Swan lived in Washington Territory (actually both Oregon and Washington) during 1853-55. According to Decker, he was a "secret agent for the Northern Pacific Railroad." Much of this book, however, is devoted to Swan's investigations of Indian life in the Northwest, including a good deal of material on Indian linguistics and brief vocabularies of the Chinook and Chehalis languages. It is lauded by Tweney as one of the classics of the Pacific Northwest.
