ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I beg to gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to Schoolcraft’s works on the Eastern Indians, and to Morgan’s “League of the Iroquois” for much valuable information about the old-time Lenape and Iroquois Indians, and to the Lenape-English Dictionary edited by Daniel G. Brinton, and published by The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, for many ancient Lenape words.
