Note 1442 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

We may also note: D. B. Brunner’s Indians of Berks county, Pa.; being a summary of all the tangible records of the aborigines of Berks County (Reading, Pa., 1881), and W. J. Buck’s “Lappawinzo and Tishcohan chiefs of the Lenni Lenape” in the Penna. Mag. of Hist., July, 1883, p. 215. The early writers to elucidate the condition of the Delawares soon after the white contact are Vanderdonck, Campanius, Gabriel Thomas, and later there is something of value in Peter Kalm’s Travels. The early authorities on Pennsylvania need also to be consulted, as well as the Penna. Archives, and the Collections of the Penna. Hist. Soc., and its Bulletin, whose first number has Ettwein’s Traditions and language of the Indians. Of considerable historical value is Charles Thomson’s Enquiry (see Vol. V. 575), and the relations of the Quakers to the tribes are surveyed in an Account of the Conduct of the Society of Friends towards the Indian Tribes (Lond., 1844); but other references will be found post, Vol. V. 582, including others on the Moravian missions, the literature of which is of much importance in this study. Cf. Chas. Beatty’s Journal of a two months’ tour (London, 1768), the works of Heckewelder and Loskiel, and Schweinitz’s Zeisberger. Cf. Miss Fletcher’s Report, p. 78.
