Evolution publishes scholarly books on ancient, ecclesiastical, colonial, and American Indian history and language. Visit our website at www.evolpub.com
Evolution Publishing is a small press founded in 1994 and based in southern New Jersey. Nearby, William Penn signed his famous treaty with Tamanend of the Lenape, General George Washington made his daring Christmas Eve crossing of the Delaware, and just across the river in Philadelphia, a young Benjamin Franklin published his Pennsylvania Gazette and Poor Richard's Almanac. We are proud to be part
of the American publishing heritage, and feel honored to share this heritage with our neighbors around the country and the world. We publish scholarly reprints and new books on Native American language, culture and history, American dialectology, American colonial history, Classical and Medieval history and language.
It seems that our website is currently down. Our long-time ISP went dark over the weekend and we haven't been able to reach them, so this is looking like a long outage! While we are enabling an alternative arrangement, you can always order our books through your favorite Catholic bookshop, or else via Amazon.

Ridout's Vocabulary of Shawnee
compiled by Thomas Ridout 1788
Part of the American Language Reprints series, Vol. 35
http://evolpub.com/ALR/ALRbooks.html
This volume reproduces a vocabulary recorded by an English merchant named Thomas Ridout who compiled a list of 400 Shawnee words in the late-18th century. Ridout was taken prisoner by the Shawnees and adopted by a chief named Kakinathucca. He subsequently learned to speak their language and recorded his vocabulary on scraps of tea paper. This vocabulary was first printed as an appendix to Ridout’s letters in 1890, and is one of the earliest major vocabularies of the Shawnee language.

This is exactly the type of review we hope to receive for books in our Christian Roman Empire series. Thank you Jason Shealey!
"Excellent ancient source on Roman history during the Tetrarchy. I was skeptical this might just be a poor reprint of a 19th century translation. I was very wrong. The language was very up to date and easy to read. I was also very grateful for the footnotes at the end of each chapter. They offered a wealth of information. The history itself offers some great insight into the revolving door of the Tetrarchy in rather short and sweet “chapters.” I was glad to see it was more historical than church history, although there is definitely some bias. Very excited to get the other books in the series."
