Summary:
Harrington was a Bureau of American Ethnology ethnologist involved in the study of over one hundred American tribes. His speciality was linguistics. Most of the material concerns California, southwestern, northwestern tribes and includes ethnological, archeological, historical notes; writings, correspondence, photographs, sound recordings, biological specimens, and other types of documents. Also of concern are general linguistics, sign language, writing systems, writing machines, and sound recordings machines. There is also some material on New World Spanish, Old World languages. In addition, there are many manuscripts of writings that Harrington sketched, partially completed, or even completed but never published. The latter group includes not only writings about anthropological subjects but also histories, ranging from a biography of Geronimo to material on the history of the typewriter. The collection incorporates material of Richard Lynch Garner, Matilda Coxe Stevenson, and others. In his field work, Harrington seems sometimes to have worked within fairly firm formats, this especially being true when he was "rehearing" material, that is in using an informant to verify and correct the work of other researchers. Often, however, the interviews with informants (and this seems to have been the case even with some "rehearings") seem to have been rather free form, for there is a considerable intertwining of subjects. Nevertheless, certain themes frequently appear in his work, including annotated vocabularies concerning flora and fauna and their use, topography, history and biography, kinship, cosmology (including tribal astronomy), religion and philosophy, names and observations concerning neighboring tribes, sex and age division, material culture, legends, and songs. The fullness of such materials seems to have been limited only by the time Harrington had to spend with a goup and the knowledge of his informants.

Scope and Contents:
This subseries of the Correspondence series is a small file of letters sent or received by persons other than Harrington. Some of these items may have been hand delivered to him; others were possibly enclosures which became separated from their covering letters.

Certain letters were sent to and from individuals who were staying with him such as Indian informants (Lucerecia Garcia, Isabelle Meadows, Perry Keahtigh) or young assistants (Jack and Glenn Marr). In some cases Harrington actually wrote the letters and signed the informant's name.
Arrangement:
The letters have been arranged in alphabetical order according to the name of the writer. There are several items at the end of the set in which the sender is not clearly identified.

Date:
1918-1921, 1939
Scope and Contents:
This subseries of the Plains series consists of John P. Harrington's research on the Caddo, Pawnee, Wichita, and Comanche languages. Harrington accumulated a total of forty-two pages of original notes on Caddo, Pawnee, and Wichita. The information was taken in 1918 and 1921 in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and in Washington, D.C. Although linguistically unrelated, six pages of Comanche terms, also collected in 1918 in Anadarko, follow the Caddoan material.

The Caddo vocabulary consists of six pages of animal and miscellaneous terms obtained from Joe Edman on June 22,1918, at Anadarko, Oklahoma. A two-page copy of the animal terms (former B.A.E. ms. 4136) were given by Harrington to J. R. Swanton, who later deposited them in the B.A.E. archives naming Harrington as the collector (n.d.). The Pawnee section contains semantically arranged vocabulary of only a few words in each of ten categories, and fifteen pages of grammatical notes. Correspondence indicates that the information was recorded in Washington on February 18 to 21,1918, from James Murie, who was not paid for his time. Murie also provided additional random information in January 1921. There are also short typed extracts from Sapir and Boas. The Wichita files consists of six pages of grammatical notes emphasizing the pronouns and thirty-four cards dealing with numerals were given by Harrington to J. R. Swanton, who later deposited them in the B.A.E. archives (n.d.) (former B.A.E. ms. 4136pt.). He also recorded twenty-one pages of grammar and vocabulary from Eben Rose and John Haddon, June 1918, at Anadarko, Oklahoma. There is also a small selection of secondary Wichita material from Swanton.

The Comanche notes comprise six pages of random terms from Herbert Yernipcut taken on June 21, 1918, at Anadarko, Oklahoma, and three pages of miscellaneous vocabulary. There are two pages of names of Comanche Indians whose portraits were in one of DeLancey Gill's albums, obtained from a person identified only as Millet, and dated May 10, 1924. A letter dated May 26, 1924, from Comanche Albert Attock requests pictures of Chief Quanah Parker and Peyote Chief Blind Man.

Scope and Contents:
This subseries of the Northeast/Southeast series contains Harrington's Cherokee research. The material on hand is principally ethnographic and historical and, except for Bachrach's trip into Mexico, is based on numerous secondary sources, most of which were only briefly consulted. Generally, these sources are clearly identified in the notes. Information from the 1945 interview with Gritts is scattered throughout the material. The minimal linguistic content has as its main source James Mooney's Myths of the Cherokee (1900). Etymologies of several persons' names and placenames were initiated but not seriously developed. There is a photostat of Sequoyah's syllabary obtained from a manuscript in the National Archives.

The vocabulary is arranged one term to a page and probably extracted from Mooney (1900), absolute identification being in doubt due to the fact that he did not include Mooney's orthographic symbols for pronunciation in Cherokee. The material was neither annotated nor reheard. A brief, numbered vocabulary from either Ben or Long contains some equivalences from Mooney (1900).

A partial preliminary draft with notes for "Sequoyah's Cherokee Alphabet" may represent an initial collaboration with Morrison in 1938 and 1939. Small amounts of data on Cherokee phonetics and a limited linguistic treatment of the names of Sequoyah's family are included. The little information he was able to acquire from Edna Hogman was later interfiled. Background information is provided on other Indian and non-Indian syllabaries.

Notes, correspondence, and newspaper clippings refer to the Harrington/Bachrach grave exploration in January 1939. Bachrach was accompanied by Baron Craeger who wrote the Tulsa World articles; E. V. Schrimscher (Shimsa), a part-Cherokee who claimed to be a cousin of Will Rogers; and George McCoy, a Cherokee fluent in the language. A digest of their trip into Mexico is in Harrington's handwriting. There are general notes on the life of Sequoyah. Information taken from Gritts was later inserted. Included are a copy of a photograph of Narcissa Owen (1896) and of her painting of Sequoyah. A third section contains reading notes from such sources as old newspapers and periodicals, B.A.E. scrapbooks, and the manuscripts of John Alexander (1839 -1840) and John Howard Payne (1835) (photocopy and typescript are filed in the N.A.A.). A number of excerpts are from the Cherokee Advocate and Cherokee Phoenix. Extensive notes were made by Mrs. Evelyn Danner in the Library of Congress in April 1939. Brief data on tobacco among the Cherokee and its Carib origins and usage stress Carib rather than Cherokee information.

There are scattered and unrelated linguistic, nonlinguistic, and ethnographic notes and correspondence for 1938 and 1939.A photocopy of a 1936 newspaper clipping concerns Houston B. Teehee (Di-hi-hi or "Killer"), a Cherokee who was Register of the Treasury in Wilson's administration. Another group is labeled "Cherokee Plcns. Della Brunstetter house interview" and contains North Carolina Cherokee terms.
Biographical / Historical:
John P. Harrington's interest in Cherokee centers mainly around the life of Sequoyah, a search for his grave and his Cherokee syllabary. The earliest dated references stem from a brief collaboration with Gouverneur Morrison, author and reporter, who apparently worked as Harrington's research assistant in May and June of 1938, and with whom he maintained contact at least into early 1939. In January 1939, Harrington began funding a search for Sequoyah's grave in Mexico, possibly with his own money. Harrington researched the project in Washington and his collaborator, Harry Bachrach, worked in the field. The two men had a contract with The Tulsa Daily World for exclusive rights to the story. The grave was never discovered but the Tulsa World found enough copy for a four-installment article printed between January 27 and 30, 1939.

Levi B. Gritts was interviewed in 1945. Gritts was a Cherokee school teacher and fluent speaker of his native language. He provided both linguistic and nonlinguistic information.

Other informants briefly mentioned are Edna Hogman (or Hogner, spelling uncertain), a Cherokee employee of the Office of Indian Affairs, and "Ben" and his friend Allen W. Long. It is unclear which of the latter two men was actually the informant. A Norman Adams of Washington, D.C., may have been involved in the Sequoyah grave effort, but in what capacity is not documented.

Scope and Contents:
This subseries of the Northeast/Southeast series contains Harrington's Creek, Seminole, Alabama, Koasati, and Choctaw research. These include original field notes in Creek and Seminole Harrington took from John Thompson on April 22, 1940, most of which were corrected by Haas on the same date. Another larger group of terms were extracted from Haas' typewritten unpublished manuscript (ca. 1938 -1940) and filed one term to a page in random order. There are no linguistic comments by Harrington. A still larger section labeled "Haas Orthography" contains occasional comments by Harrington. Presumably this section also stems from a then unpublished manuscript by Haas. The majority of his comparative linguistic notes involve Haas and Thompson, with Harrington sitting in as a third party. Choctaw equivalences are based on Byington (1915). A few Koasati and Alabama terms are included. Some notes apparently reflect conversations between Harrington and Haas, with some emphasis on phonetics and ethnohistory. The interview with Sylvestine presumably was brief--it yielded only a few general comments on Alabama placenames. There is a section on the etymology of the name Alabama. Harrington copied various versions from Hodge's "Handbook" (1907) and added some original annotations as well as comments from Haas, Thompson, and Sylvestine. Also in this subseries are two pages of random terms, undated, and no source given. Three Choctaw words were apparently taken from Allen Wright's Chahta Leksikon, a Choctaw in English Definition (1880). The subseries also contans excerpts from conversations Harrington had with Edward Sapir.
Biographical / Historical:
While on a Delaware language field trip centered around Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in April 1940, John P. Harrington evidently found time to be present when the linguist Mary R. Haas interviewed Creek speaker John Thompson. She also commented on notes Harrington took directly from Thompson, and she shared with him information from her unpublished manuscript of Creek vocabulary. He also interviewed James Feagin Sylvestine, a patient at the Shawnee Sanitorium in Oklahoma and an excellent Alabama speaker. Harrington also frequently consulted Cyrus A. Byington's, A Dictionary of the Choctaw Language (1915) and Frederick W. Hodge's "Handbook of the American Indians North of Mexico" (1907).

Scope and Contents:
This subseries of the Notes and writings on special linguistic studies series contains material that supplement Harrington's Northeast/Southeast field notes.

The file on Algonquian includes three slips of Fox, Cree, Ojibwa, and Massachusett (labeled "Natick") vocabulary in the hand of Truman Michelson; typed copies of the above; notes on Cree and Ojibwa from secondary sources; information on the growing of wild rice by the Menominee; and miscellaneous notes on placenames and tribenames regarding the Cree, Ojibwa, Conoy, Nanticoke, and Narraganset.

The Shawnee/Peoria section consists of six pages of notes on Shawnee tribal divisions.

Among the miscellaneous material on the Abnaki languages is a page of Penobscot vocabulary obtained from Frank Siebert in April 1940. The remaining material was compiled during fieldwork on Western Abnaki at St. Francis in 1949. There are four pages on possible informants from Charles Nolet and a page of vocabulary from "Am"; bibliographic references; and lexical and grammatical notes excerpted from the works of Joseph Laurent and Masta.

For Massachusett there are three pages of miscellaneous notes with references to Trumbull's Natick Dictionary.

The bulk of the file on Iroquoian consists of a typed copy of an unidentified historical text from the 1880s. It discusses the relations of the Iroquois with the Spanish, French, and English settlers in the New World. Special mention is made of Gy-ant-va-chia (Cornplanter), chief of the Seneca. The spacing of the lines of text suggests that Harrington was planning to add a translation or annotations of some kind. There are also three pages of miscellaneous notes in his hand.

Most of the file on Delaware consists of information on placenames and tribenames obtained from Frank Siebert, Carl F. Voegelin, and a number of Oklahoma residents in 1940. Siebert gave both Delaware and Penobscot terms, and Unami words were given by Roy Longbone, Salley Fallleaf, and Jake Parks. Munsee forms were obtained from Josiah Montour and Jane Pattice of the Six-Nations Reserve in Ontario, Canada. Also included are a carbon copy of a typed list of possible informants and several pages of miscellaneous notes from the works of Brinton, Strachey, and Zeisberger.

The section on Creek/Seminole/Alabama/Koasati/Choctaw contains twenty-one pages of vocabulary (mostly on tribenames) which Harrington obtained in an interview with James Feagin Sylestine, a speaker of the Alabama language, on April 25, 1940. The informant's home was in Livingston, Texas, although he was at the Shawnee Sanatorium at the time Harrington worked with him. The remaining miscellaneous notes were excerpted from various published and manuscript sources. They include references to Creek, Cherokee, Seminole, Alabama, and Choctaw.

Miscellaneous material relating to the East consists of brief notes which Harrington copied from a number of secondary sources. There are mentions of the Huron, Wyandot, Powhatan, and Cherokee tribes, among others. Three of the pages consist of a partial typed list (alphabetically arranged K to M) of "Carolina and Virginia Algonquian" words. This list is based on that given in the commentary on the map of Raleigh's Virginia, pages 852 to 872 of The Roanoke Voyages, which was published by the Hakluyt Society in 1955.
