Revised Edition of the 1937 Edition published by Louisiana State University. Tight bright book with no marks or stamps. This study deals with the origin and meaning of Indian geographic names in Alabama. It records the pronunciation only of those names on which reasonably trustworthy data could be obtained. It does not include a detailed history either of aboriginal place names in Alabama or of the tribes that formerly inhabited the state. Its primary aim is linguistic; hence it is not concerned with such names as Colbert and McIntosh, which, though borne by prominent Indians, are manifestly not of Indian origin. Nor does it deal with novel and artificial forms, examples of which are Abanda, Aladocks, Alaflora, Alaga, Alco, Falco, Flomaton, Florala, Newala, and Norala; or with modern importations from various Indian tongues that were unknown to the Alabama tribes. Some of these imported names are Chetapa, Cohasset, Cuba, Eutaw, Havana, Idaho, Java, Keego, Kiowa, Klondyke [sic], Manila, Manistee, Maricopa, Mattawana, Nenemoosha, Neshota, Nokomis, Nyota [sic], Oneonta, Orono, and fully a dozen more.
