Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. James Owen Dorsey (October 31, 1848 February 4, 1895) was an American ethnologist, linguist, and Episcopalian missionary who contributed to the description of the Ponca, Omaha, and other southern Siouan languages. Dorsey was born in Baltimore. He attended the Theological Seminary of Virginia, became a deacon of the Episcopal Church in 1871, and a missionary to the Ponca Indians that same year. He had a remarkable aptitude for languages and a sympathetic and helpful personality which won the confidence of the Indians. He lived 27 months as a missionary in Nebraska and South Dakota, learning the difficult (for English speakers) Siouan language of the Ponca and Omaha Indians. Ill health forced him to leave the West and to become a pastor in Maryland. He continued to work on linguistic analysis of Ponca and Omaha, but his efforts to link those languages with Hebrew were considered "crude and immature."
