toms. The second category of content was information relating to such topics as other tribes and tribal leaders, ancient Indian art, and temperance among the Indians. A third category consisted of interesting information about such topics as western scenery, the fur trade, and Mexican civilization. Finally, the magazine contained many topical poems as well as didactic verse and essays written in the literary mode of the day.
Much of the content was supplied by Schoolcraft, and many pieces were written by his wife. Much of the Ojibwa lore was supplied by Mrs. Schoolcraft's brother George Johnston and their mother, the daughter of Waub Ojeeg, a well- known Ojibwa leader. Part of the content appeared later in Schoolcraft Algic Researches and other works. 3 The research reflected in the pages of The Muzzinyegun laid the groundwork for later ethnological studies for which Schoolcraft is best known today. 4
