Note 18 — Chapter XXXIII
Reading edition
The Americans and the Indians have adopted several words, which each believe peculiar to the language of the others. Thus “squaw,” “papoose,” or child, wigwam, &c. &c., though it is doubtful whether they belonged at all to any Indian dialect, are much used by both white and red men in their Intercourse. Many words are derived from the French, in this species of prairie nomaic. Partisan, brave, &c. are of the number.
