Book Condition: As New. No DJ. Printed card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 380 pp 8vo. The great variety of Indian place-names in Kansas resulted from attempts to create a permanent Indian frontier in the West. The study of place-names has many facets-linguistics, geography, legends, literature and folklore. The author has grouped the names into chapters based mainly on tribes or linguistic families and treated the names in their historical context, delving into the circumstances that caused them to be given to each political and topographical feature and including a variety of interpretations. A clean very presentable copy.
