Notes:

"The squaws of the Onondagas made this book that the great chiefs might give them wampum for it, so that the squaws, having wampum, might bribe the medicine men to cure with weird charms those who have been wounded in the long battle and cannot fight for themselves. For pity of the wounded in the long battle the squaws of the Onondagas in their Council Halls did this book."

"Copyright, 1909, by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth"--Verso of title leaf.
