832 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [Bull. 137 



There is as yet no single good work on the Shawnee. Henry Har- 

 vey's History of the Shawnee Indians, published in 1855, is useful; 

 Mooney has many notes on them in his various writings; and The 

 Wilderness Trail, by Charles A. Hanna, is important for the move- 

 ments of the Shawnee bands. In Bureau of American Ethnology 

 Bulletin 73 I have brought together considerable material bearing 

 on the movements of those Shawnee who went south (Swan ton, 1922). 

 More recently Drs. Charles F. and Erminie W. Voegelin have added 

 greatly to our knowledge of the Shawnee language and along with it 

 their history and institutions. The appearance of Shawnese Tradi- 

 tions, by C. C. Trowbridge, edited by Vernon Kinietz and Erminie W. 

 Voegelin, has been of special service to students of this ubiquitous 

 people. In the present paper our interest in this tribe and the Quapaw 

 is purely marginal. 



The most important sources of information regarding the Caddo 

 are the narrative of Henri Joutel, La Salle's companion during the 

 Texas misadventure, and the reports of the Spanish Franciscan mis- 

 sionaries Casaiias de Jesus Maria, Francisco Hidalgo, and Isidro 

 Felis de Espinosa. The Historia, and particularly the Memorias, of 

 Juan A. de Morfi are also important, but he derives his material 

 mainly from Hidalgo and Espinosa. Items regarding this tribe were 

 collected by Prof. H. E. Bolton and incorporated into articles con- 

 tributed to the Handbook of American Indians, especially part 2. 

 and printed in his own works. Reference may also be made to the 

 concluding chapters of M. R. Harrington's monograph entitled "Cer- 

 tain Caddo Sites in Arkansas," and to a sketch of these people by 

 Mrs. Lee C. Harby in the Annual Report of the American Historical 

 Association for the year 1894, pages 63-92. A collection of Caddo 

 Myths was made by Dr. G. A. Dorsey some years ago and printed 

 by the Carnegie Institution, and in 1941 Dr. Parsons added some 

 "Notes on the Caddo." Most of the essential parts of this material I 

 brought together in Bulletin 132 of the Bureau of American Ethnology 

 (Swanton, 1942). 



The later history of the Five Civilized Tribes has been completely 

 covered by Foreman and Debo. For my few notes on the physical 

 characteristics of the Indians of this section, I have relied mainly 

 upon the writings of Boas, Hrdlicka, Collins, and Krogman.
