For the convenience of readers who
might like a brief summary of and TOC for my blog
series on Jacques-Charles Sabrevois's Memoir on the Savages of
Canada:
Part One (23 November 2012): Niagara
Falls, Seneca porters, the rivers and hunting prospects of the Ohio
country.
Part Two (12 December 2012): The
Odawas, Potawatomis, and Hurons of Detroit – dwellings, clothing,
dances, games; fortunately, Yahtzee is not among the latter.
Part Three (23 Jan. 2013): The Odawas
of Michigan's lower peninsula; the Indians of Green Bay (Ho-Chunk,
Menominee, Sauk, Mesquakie); Mesquakie dress and lifeways.
Part Four (22 April 2013): The
Illiniwek and their Frenchified customs.
Part Five (1 May 2013): The Maumee and
Wabash Rivers, the Miamis, and the similarities between their forts
and the Tuileries; conclusions.
A little more to come in the near future on matters French and Louisianan.
