The Manuscript Pictograph America was recorded by D. Emanuel in 1860.
This correspondence is to share an interesting document with you - called the Book of Wild.

I scanned this document from Microfilm at Rice University in Houston, TX. It was recorded by Domenech Emanuel (1825-1903). This 1860 document is called The Manuscript Pictographique Amerique. (Book of Wild). D. Emanuel started out as a French Missionary where he stayed in St. Louis at the Seminary of the Barrens.
I think he may have acquired the document when he was at that seminary, The origin of the document with American Indian Pictographs probably has much earlier origin.
Of particular interest are the written languages on the document and the depictions of swords and scabbards, as well as sailing ships. I have seen some similar scripts from Easter Island tablets but i do not know what it is or what it says. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
D. Emmanuel was one of the first ordained missionaries in texas, and spent a lot of time as an amateur ethnographer. He made trips to the Western states and recorded many interesting examples of petroglyphs in several later works.
Imp.Lemercier Paris, this ideographic of the "Red Indians" was indeed controversial. The author wrote some responses to this document were "full of hatred of a national jealousy".
