Primarily Shawnee linguistic notes and texts with some ethnographic notes collected by Truman Michelson. A large portion of the materials were collected during Michelson's fieldwork among the Absentee Shawnee in Oklahoma in 1911. Michelson obtained ethnographic information and stories from Joe Billy, while Thomas Alford provided linguistic information and served as one of the interpreters for Billy. Also in MS 2719 are Shawnee stories in English that Joseph Nocktonick of Shawnee, Oklahoma, sent to the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1934.
