Other Notes
This book was published posthumously in 1957 (Bloomfield passed away in 1949). Of particular interest are the texts, which have both the Ojibwe text and English translations.
There may be phonograph records available somewhere; they were mentioned in the text, and may still be in the possession of the University of Michigan.
