Scope and content
Note included with manuscripts by E. K. Burnett says these texts were probably used by Speck for his Penobscot Transformer Tales, published in the International Journal of American Linguistics, volume 1, number 3, page 187-192, 1918. The texts are written in the Penobscot language, but have English subtitles. The pages are annotated with information on how they should be published. They include narratives and what appear to be interviews as well as lists of translations, and stories from the Penobscot Indians.
