Vocabulary of the Shoshone Language 1877

George W. Hill, Vocabulary of the Shoshone Language (1877)

George W. Hill, a Mormon Indian missionary, had taught Shoshones in their own language at Fort Limhi in 1855. He wrote Vocabulary of the Shoshone Language, published by the Deseret News in 1877, with words “spelled as phonetically as the English alphabet will allow, and with it any person may learn to speak the dialect so that an Indian can understand him.” A copy is held by the LDS Church History Library.
