John Peabody Harrington (1884–1961) was an American linguist and ethnologist and a specialist in the native peoples of California. Harrington is noted for the massive volume of his documentary output, most of which has remained unpublished: the shelf space in the Library of Congress dedicated to his work spans nearly seven hundred feet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peabody_Harrington <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/John+Peabody+Harrington">Read more on Last.fm</a>
