Sign Talk: A Universal Signal Code, Without Apparatus, for Use in the Army, the Navy, Camping, Hunting, and Daily Life
1918
Translated by Lillian Delger Powers
Published in 1918, 'Sign Talk' by Ernest Thompson Seton is a comprehensive guide to a universal signal code based on gesture communication, particularly influenced by the sign language of the Cheyenne Indians. This practical manual features a vocabulary of approximately 1,725 signs, complete with illustrations and translations in French and German. Seton's work serves both as an ethnographic account and a tool for bridging communication gaps in various contexts, including military, camping, and daily life, while preserving the heritage of Native American sign language.
