by R. A. Douglas-Lithgow
Category: History

This dictionary of Native American places was originally published in 1909. Alphabetically arranged by Native American name, this reference work gives insight into the Native origins of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont cities, towns, rivers, streams, lakes, and other locales. The Abnaki confederacy of tribes of northern New England gets their name from the word Wabunaki meaning ""land or country of the east"" or ""morning land.""
