Summary
"This classic study of the history of Pennsylvania's Indians, from the time of the European contact forward, was originally published in 1961. This accessible work explores the primary groups of Indian peoples most important to Pennsylvania's history-its most prevalent, primarily the Delaware or Lenni Lenape and the Susquehannock people, and the outside groups that had the largest impact upon Pennsylvania, primarily the neighboring Iroquois and refugee groups such as the Shawnee. The volume explores customs, governance, belief systems, conflict, migration, and policy, among many other topics. Sympathetic and balanced, this book has long been considered one of the best books on the Indian peoples of Pennsylvania." [from Amazon.com]
