"The author,John Napoleon Brinton Hewitt (December 16, 1859 - October 14, 1937) , was a linguist and ethnographer who specialized in Iroquoian and other Native American languages. Hewitt was born on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation near Lewiston, New York. His parents were Harriet and David; his mother was of Tuscarora, French, Oneida, and Scottish descent, his father of English and Scottish, but raised in a Tuscarora family. His parents raised him speaking the English language, but when he left the reservation to attend schools in Wilson and Lockport, he learned to speak the Tuscarora language from other students who spoke the language."

Additional Notes
Catonsville, 25 July 1982
Dear Dorothea! This is - I think - a photo of some ancient Lancaster Co. place, as I found it with other Lanc. cards. Do you recognize it? I a bit envy my family: CSR, CGS + CGS-R today, driving through Lanc. to take CSR to Middlebury for 2 wks French seminar. Hope this catches you before you leave for Detroit and (!) Seattle. I'm staying here cooking for Daddy for the 2 weeks; doubt he wants to budge from here for me to drive him to Lanc. to check on gravestones, tho' I'd like an excuse to go. However, I have a PROJECT for here: write an article on the measles - shots hassle. You'll be hearing more soon, I hope. Thanks for the Memorial Day note. Safe journeying! Love from Margaret.
