ABENAKI INDIAN LEGENDS, GRAMMAR AND PLACE NAMES.

By HenryLome Masta. Published by the press ofLa Voix des Bois-Francs, Victoriaville,P. Q.

This book which I have reviewed at length in the Boston Transcript has at once a popular value as well as an interest to scholars. The Masta family of the Abenaki tribe has sent several members to Dartmouth College (Moor's Charity School), and has maintained a school for Indians on the St. Francis reservation for more than 100 years. The first Masta Wzokhilain (other spellings) established the school after returning from his schooling in Hanover. The present Masta, now eighty years of age has conducted the school for more than fifty years. His book is highly praised by Professor A. Irving Hallowell of the department of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania.
