BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



Gibbs {(i.) — Contiimofl. 



In 1854 ho received (he appointment of collector 

 ol' the port of Astoria, which he held durinij 

 Mr. nilmorc's administration. Later he re- 

 moved from Oregon to Washington Territory, 

 and settled ixi^on a rancli a few miles from Fort 

 Steilacoom. Here he had his headquarters for 

 several years, devoting himself to the study of 

 the Indian languages and to the collection of 

 vocabularies and traditions of the northwest- 

 ern tribes. During a great part of the time 

 he was attached to the United States Govern- 

 ment Commission to determine the boundary, 

 as the geologist and botanist of the expedition. 

 He was also attached as geologist to the survey 

 of a railroad route to the Pacific, under Major 

 Stevens. In 1857 he was appointed to the 

 northwest boundarj' survey under Mr. Archi- 

 bald Campbell, as commissioner. In 1860 Mr. 

 Gibbs returned to New York, and in 1861 was 

 on duty in Wa.shington guarding the Capital. 

 Later he resided in "Washington, being mainly 

 employed in the Hudson Bay Claims Commis- 

 sion, to which ho was secretary. He was also 

 engaged in the arrangement of a large mass of 

 manuscript bearing upon the ethnology and 

 philology ofthe American Indians. His services 

 were availed of by the Smithsonian Institution 

 to superintend its labors in this field, and to his 

 energy and complete knowledge ofthe subject 

 it greatly owes its success in this branch of the 

 service. The valuable and laborious service 

 which he rendered to the Institution was 

 eutirelygratuitous, andin his death that estab- 

 lishment as well as the cause of science lost an 

 ardent friend and an important contributor to 

 its advancement. In 1871 Mr. Gibbs mai-ried 

 his cousin, Miss Mary K. Gibbs, of N"ewi)ort, 

 R. I.,and removed to New Haven, where he 

 died on the 9th of April, 1873.

The author owes much to the manuscript 

 dictionary of Rev. G. Mengarini, who, first of 

 all the Jesuit missionaries, possessed himself 

 of the genius of this language, and, besides 

 speaking it with the perfection of a native 

 Indian, reduced it also to the rules of gram- 

 mar. — Preface.
