Journals, account-books and note-books by a Tsimshian Indian: with reminiscences of his early life; extracts by Sir Henry Wellcome from the journals 1875-1905; and a LÌ€ist of journals, account books and other memorandum books of Arthur Wellington Clah', with brief notes by Wellcome on the development of writing and culture. Port Simpson, B.C., Vancouver, & Victoria, Canada; New Metlakahtla, Alaska, U.S.A. [&c.] The journal series was intended to be a history of his people: it includes daily weather-notes, regular pious interjections, and much sporadic material on his life and work, on epidemics, residual potlatch ceremonies, Indian relations with the white man, and on land-claims. [See Arctander (1909), pp. 57, 58 (portrait of Clah facing), 122-123, 133-134; Swanton (1968), pp. 543, 606-607; and Wellcome (1887), pp. 9, 13, 50-51; and WMS/Amer.141]. |
