The Chinook Jargon And How To Use It is a comprehensive guide to the oldest trade language of the American continent, written by George Coombs Shaw and published in 1909. The book provides a complete and exhaustive lexicon of the Chinook Jargon, which was widely used by Native American tribes and European settlers in the Pacific Northwest during the 19th century. The author offers a detailed description of the language's grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, as well as its historical and cultural context. The book includes numerous examples of Chinook Jargon phrases and sentences, along with their English translations, making it a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
