BIBLIOGEAPHY OF TRIBES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO 



83 



Despard, George Pakenham — Continued 

 the thousand words it contained at the begin- 

 ning of that year. I'assages in the following 

 article show that the Rev. Mr. Despard made 

 strenuous efforts to master the Yahgan tongue — 

 efforts which met with much success. 



(6) Fireland: or, Tierra del Fuego. 

 (In Sunday at home, London, 1863, x, 

 676-680, 696-698, 716-718, 731-734, 



744-748.) 



One of our most important sources for Yahgan 

 culture— see especially pp. 679-680, 696, 698, 716- 

 717. Passim about a score of Yahgan words, and 

 on p. 698 a few good data on Yahgan grarnmar— 

 the first published data on the subject, as far as I 

 am aware. 



The Rev. Mr. Despard first made the acquain- 

 tance of the Yahgans in the spring of 1857, and 

 from then imtil his departure for England in 

 1862, had excellent opportunities for studying 

 them and their language, both in their native 

 habitat, to which he made several visits, and at 

 the Falkland Mission, whither successive groups 

 of Yahgans were brought for extensive stays . He 

 began the serious study of their language on his 

 first meeting with them at Cinco-Mai Harbor, 

 Navarin Island. His lexical and grammatical 

 researches, built upon and greatly amplified later 

 by the Rev. Thomas Bridges, are of special inter- 

 est, inasmuch as they are the historical starting 

 point, if we except Admiral Fitz-Roy's inaccu- 

 rate vocabulary, in the modern study of Yahgan 

 linguistics. His treatment of Yahgan culture 

 gives evidence that he was a keen observer and a 

 cautious and accurate investigator and chronicler.

A criticism, unfavorable but reserved, of Dr. 

 Graebner's (q. v.) application of the Kulturkreis 

 theory to America, especially to Fuegia. Prof. 

 Dixon, however, leaves open to a certain extent 

 the question of the possible Oceanic origin of the 

 Fuegian plank boat (pp. 5.3-.54).
