| 词源 | Native American place-names. “Mississippi,” Walt Whitman wrote, “the word winds with chutes—it rolls a stream three thousand miles long. . . . Monongahela, it rolls with venison richness upon the palate.” Thousands of charming place-names deriving from American Indian languages adorn the map of the United States. These include, to mention just a few of the most notable, Chicago, Niagara, Allegheny, Saratoga, Susquen- hanna, Potomac, Tallahassee, Manhattan, and Tacoma. Fully 24 of the 50 states bear American Indian names. |
