Petter dictionary

Rodolphe Petter, English-Cheyenne Dictionary. Kettle Falls, Washington: Valdo Petter, 1915.

This set of web pages includes a scanned version of Petter's massive dictionary, scanned from a microfilm of a copy of the dictionary that included Petter's own handwritten annotations of new material learned after the publication in 1915. The filming from which this scan was produced was apparently done in 1958, although the details are unknown. The original book with annotations seems to have been lost; oral tradition here at the MLA says that it went to the Newberry Library for some reason, but they have never been able to confirm that they have it. The rest of Petter's papers and book collection are here.

This scan was done in 2004 on a Minolta MS 6000 which produced 200 dpi bitonal tiff images which were then converted to png (in case anyone cares).

You will notice that some page references refer to "gutter." When the microfilming was done, the filmer often filmed the gutter between an even and an odd page in order to better pick up handwritten notes that ran into the gutter.

If you notice any unreadable pages or bad links, please let us know and we can rescan.
