"Kohl...spent nearly half a year among the Ojibway south of Lake Superior...his writing about...the Ojibway have received much attention." -Germany and the Americas (2005)."Kohl, one of my favorite recorders of Native American beliefs and lore, says about these man-eaters in his 1860 book Kitchi-gami, '...Windigo...is always regarded with terror and horror.'" -American Monsters (2014)."Kohl wrote of Wisconsin Ojibwe...no one is so despised by the Indians as the narrow hearted egotist and greedy miser." -Honoring Elders: Aging, Authority, and Ojibwe Religion (2009)."For more information on Lake Superior...another interesting read is Kitchi-Gami...by Johann Georg Kohl." -Great Lakes Island Escapes (2016).Johann Georg Kohl (1808– 1878) was a German travel writer, historian, geographer and policeman. From 1854 to 1858, he traveled in the United States. He prepared some valuable maps for the U.S. government. In his classic work "Kichi-Gami" about the Ojibway of Lake Superior he provides a fascinating study in contrasts and similarities. An urbane, well-traveled European, a trained ethnologist, and an accomplished popular writer, he visited the Ojibway in 1855 and turned his sensitive powers of observation on a nation of people he found not unlike his own. He describes daily life, detailing religious practices, legends, foods, games, medicines, homes, clothing, and methods to travel, hunting, and fishing. Kohl's respect for the Ojibway makes his writing especially appealing to the modern reader.
