Part I of this volume includes an ethnographic sketch, and a description of the grammar used in the Klamath language. This book offers a critical contribution to the history of Native Americans and is a must-read for anthropologists, linguists and students of Native American history.

Autorenporträt
ALBERT SAMUEL GATSCHET (1832-1907), a Swiss-American linguist who emigrated to the United States from Switzerland in 1877, joined the Bureau of American Ethnology, a part of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1902, Gatschet was elected as a member of the American Antiquarian Society, thanks in part to his study of the Klamath culture, which is recognized as a seminal work in its field.
