Book Description
"History, Manners, and Customs of the Indian Nations Who Once Inhabited Pennsylvania and the Neighbouring States" by John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder is a remarkable historical exploration that immerses readers in the rich tapestry of Native American heritage in Pennsylvania and its surrounding regions. Heckewelder's meticulous research and deep respect for the subject matter shine through in this compelling work. As a Moravian missionary who lived among the Delaware and other Native American communities, he brings a level of authenticity and understanding that is truly commendable. This book not only provides a vivid and respectful account of the customs and traditions of these indigenous nations but also offers valuable insights into their interactions with European settlers, a perspective often absent from conventional historical narratives. For those intrigued by Native American history, early American settlers, or a more profound understanding of Pennsylvania's past, this book is an invaluable resource, presenting an often-overlooked facet of American history with clarity and reverence.

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. From the Introduction: "The reader of the following pages, having already seen what has induced me to come forward with an historical account of the Indians, after so many have written on the same subject, will perhaps look for something more extraordinary in this than in other works of the kind which he has seen. Not wishing any one to raise his expectations too high, I shall briefly state that I have not written to excite astonishment, but for the information of those who are desirous of knowing the true history of those people, who, for centuries, have been in full possession of the country we now inhabit; but who have since emigrated to a great distance."

Book Description
Reverend Heckewelder (1743-1823) was an American missionary for the Moravian Church who was an evangelist to the Indians and assisted in treaties with them. His extensive studies of the languages and customs of the American Indians, particularly the Delawares, resulted in the publication of this work in 1818, and he was the author of several other similar studies. Reprinted from the revised edition of 1881 with additional notes.
