Glossary of Mississippi Valley French, 1673-1850 e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Indian, I have next placed the abbreviation Ind. Then follows the customary abbreviation to Show the part of speech. The definition is given, whenever possible, in a Single word. For all words of unusual meaning I have cited the authority of region al dictionaries or have added illustrative passages from travel books and documents to show the particular sense in which the word was used. For terms descriptive of customs I have named sources where the reader will find much fuller accounts than I have had space for. For those standard but often misused words included I give the definition without citation of authority, for they are to be found in Littre. Except for words of these last two classes, current or standard uses of entries have not been mentioned.
