Bibliography of Place Name Literature, United States, Canada, Alaska, and Newfoundland (Book Review) 1949-06-30 2 .pdf application/pdf 1435 58 60 By the ad- dition of a detailed 68-page name and subject index, the compilers have not only given us the individual authors and place names but a most interesting group of subject entries which is so suggestive of further study that we have yielded to the temptation of copying some of them : Animals, artificial names, battlefields, bayous, Bible ยท names, birds, border towns, camps , cantons, capes, Celtic names, Chinese, classical and corrupted names, dams, desert, Dutch, English, Eskimo and European names, explorers, forts, freak and French names, fur- naces, German names, ghost towns, gold camps, historical, Icelandic and Indian names, the latter subdivided by tribe, islands, Italian and Japanese names, lakes, literary names, military posts, mills, mines, mining towns, missions, mountains, nicknames, Norse names, parks, patriotic and personal names, plains, plantations, plants, post offices, religious names, rivers, Russian names, saints, Span- ish names, states (nicknames), statesmen, streets, Swedish names, synthetic names, topographic features, underworld names and water holes. Since there is no adequate dictionary of place names in the United States and Canada, it is necessary to se.arch the separately published gazetteers, manuals and articles, over 2000 of which are assembled here for the first time. cache/crl-10462.pdf txt/crl-10462.txt
