Here is a story of the Lenape Indians who lived in what is now New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. It describes their culture, crafts, and language as no other book has done. Hunters, fishers, artisans of flint and skins and basketry, tellers of traditional tales, dwellers in a region of hills and barrens, of rivers and forests, they had developed a way of life adjusted to the world around them.In presenting the lore and heritage of the Lenapes, Dr. M.R. Harrington does so through the eyes of a shipwrecked English boy who became a captive of the Indians, and was eventually adopted into the tribe. The narrative is lively reading, and the facts on which it is based are accurate. With the accompanying Clarence Ellsworth line drawings, the reader can understand and even reproduce many of the objects the author the Lenape bows and arrows, muccasins and mats, baskets and bowls.This new edition is a reissue of an often asked for an unavailable New Jersey classic, first published in 1938.
A Story of American Indian Life in Colonial Times "This exciting adventure story incorporates Harrington's] vast knowledge of Indian life, lore, and crafts." --New Jersey Education Association Review Thousands of schoolchildren have read the adventures of Dickon, the English boy who was rescued from a shipwreck by the Lenape Indians, told in The Indians of New Jersey by M. R. Harrington. Now they and others can follow Dickon's further adventures in The Iroquois Trail, now reissued by Rutgers University Press. As Dickon and his companions travel the Iroquois Trail in search of his Lenape brother, Little-Bear, they learn the ways of Onondagas, Senecas, Mohawks, Oneidas, and Cayugas. Dickon tells his own story, describing the day-to-day activities in the villages along the trail--their ways of making clothing, weapons, household articles, and ornaments, and how they hunt, cook, travel, and worship. He meets Hiawatha, Deganawide, Jigonsasay, and other Indian leaders. His tale is accompanied by line drawings that vividly portray the art of making baskets, moccasins, bows and arrows, clothing, and other everyday articles. These illustrations were done by Don Perceval, a renowned artist and specialist on Indians. The late M. R. Harrington was for many years the curator of the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles. He is the author of The Indians of New Jersey: Dickon Among the Lenape, also available from Rutgers University Press.

Not illustrated. 1921 ...practically the same language. This is qualified by the statement, however, that a few tribes more primitive than the rest, such as the Guanahatabiyes of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, the Ciguayos of Haiti, and the Eyeri of Porto Rico, were different in language. Moreover, he observes a point that the present writer has noticed, that the few Guanahatabibe (or Guanahatabiye) names that survive are different in formation from those of the rest of the island. He has little to remark on the Ciguayo language, but does say that the Eyeri words which have been preserved from Porto Rico suggest the connection of this latter people with the Carib family. All through the work, however, it is noticeable that the use of the word "Taino" as a general term for the predominant class of natives' of the Greater Antilles, whose language Zayas is presenting, is studiously avoided, as is any statement that these people may be affiliated with the Arawak linguistic family. Before taking up his vocabulary, Zayas finally presents a' study of the formation of the language as nearly as it can be elucidated at the present time, which account will be utilized in our second volume. Brinton's "Arawack Language."--We cannot leave the subject of authors dealing with the principal aboriginal (Taino) language of Cuba without referring to the work of Brinton,32 who identified it as Arawak, beyond the shadow of a doubt, by comparing many words with the Arawak language as spoken up to 1800 by the tribesmen of British Guiana and Dutch Guiana. He begins his paper with an outline of the grammar, then considers its affiliations with other stocks, notably the Carib and Tupi, presents a vocabulary of the ancient language of the Greater Antilles as compared with modern Arawak, and finally ...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
