Early Ute and Shoshone Vocabularies

Published on Apr 11, 2019

Utah Historical Society

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries a number of Ute and Shoshone vocabularies were published in Utah. Dimick Baker Huntington prepared and printed the earliest vocabularies beginning in 1853. Others were subsequently written by the Indian interpreter Joseph A. Gebow, the LDS missionary George W. Hill, and the zoologist and ethnographer Ralph V. Chamberlin. Recently, Huntington’s first edition of the earliest Ute and Shoshone vocabulary, thought to be lost, was discovered in two copies—one published, the other unbound galley proofs. Both rare copies are now housed at the LDS Church History Library. For more information about this edition, see the summer 2015 issue of the Utah Historical Quarterly.
