Description:Three notebooks containing Washo texts told by consultants Bill Cornbread and Sam Dick, along with an envelope; writing on the envelope seems to indicate that the texts were obtained in some form from Grace Dangberg. The cover page of the first notebook reads, “Book 1, Texts from Bill Cornbread, First Complete Recordings”, and the notebook contains transcriptions of texts that are almost exclusively in Washo. The cover page of the second notebook reads, “Book 2, Texts from Bill Cornbread, Second Complete Recordings”, and the notebook contains more transcriptions of texts, again almost exclusively in Washo. The cover of the third notebook reads, “Revised Texts, 1. Adventures of Coyote”, and the notebook contains a transcription of “Adventures of Coyote”; the first page of this notebook contains the following notes about the text: “recounted by Bill Cornbread; Dresslerville, Nev., March 1944. Revised with Sam Dick; Minden, Nev., March 1947”.
