Book Description
Excerpt from Once Upon a Time in Delaware This book is published by the Delaware Society of the Colonial Dames of America for the use, primarily, of the children of Delaware, in school and out. Its style and matter are therefor chosen to suit young readers. Many historical points in these stories are more or less disputed. The original sources do not always agree. In preparing these stories of Delaware for children's reading, it has been thought best to use anecdotes and interesting traditions whenever they could be found. The result is a substantially true set of stories, which do not however, undertake to settle the facts in any disputed case, but are designed to leave in a child's mind the broad outlines of Delaware history. The stories have all been read and revised by the Hon. Alexander B. Cooper of New Castle, to whom the thanks of the Colonial Dames are here expressed for his wise and constant help. The Rev. Joseph B. Turner, of Dover, has also kindly read over several of the stories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The White Wolf One of the most popular leaders was the famous young warrior Running fox, the son of the Delaware war-chief. This lad of seventeen winters had gained great fame the previous year in a series of daring exploits against the Mohawks. Accompanied by a single companion he had journeyed to the Mohawk camp, and after a long and perilous captivity succeeded in carrying away a famous medicine-trophy which the Delawares believed made the great Mohawk chief, Standing Wolf, invincible. Later, when Standing Wolf led an immense war-party against the Delaware camp, Running Fox killed him in a desperate hand-to - hand encounter, and led the Delawares to a splendid victory.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Adoption of Mew-Seu-Qua, Tecumseh's Father, and the Philosophy of the Delaware Indians, With Unpolished Gems The Delaware Tribe of Indians was the head of the Algonquin confederation of which 37 tribes recognized them as Grandfather. The head Chief of the Delaware Indians was called Great Sachem. There was a chief of each clan, the Turtle Clan, the Wolf Clan, the Turkey Clan and a war chief of each Clan. The Delaware In dians also recognized in ancient times a Council of Mothers, and it was the women or the Council of Mothers that would plead for peace when peace was made. The same custom was recognized by all the Algonquin Confederation. Sometimes in minor wars or tribal disputes, individual tribes or bands of the confed eration would go to war on their own initiative; but in case of great grievances, runners were always sent to the Grand Council of the Delawares, and the Great Sachem of the Delaware tribe had a right to call to the assist 'ance of those allied into the Confederation, all members of the Confederation. Many of the traditions as handed down by oration correspond with that of the other tribes of the Federa tion. Among other things, no member of one tribe could marry into the one clan of his Father or Mother, and for that reason ofttimes a young man called a Hunter would wander to a distant country, sometimes among the Confederation of the Algonquins, and sometimes even to the enemy's camp to get a wife. In the particular case in which this story follows, Tecumseh's father went from Kentucky to the Western part of Pennsylvania to the Delaware Country to seek awife, and the narratives that are here recited, are as near as can be translated from the Delaware language to the English.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Address to the Inhabitants of the State of Delaware Fellow Countrymen and Citizens, - I hope I shall not be charged with impertinence, if I endeavour to call your attention to one or two subjects, of great importance to ourselves and our posterity. The voice of admonition, when it comes from a friend, may sometimes be heard with advantage, even though little may be offered which was not previously known. It must be admitted that the time, now passing over us, is of a very singular character. Pecuniary distress seems to have spread its raven wing over every part of our land. The merchant at his desk, the mechanic in his shop, and the farmer at the plough, have felt and still feel, its withering and benumbing influence. Without war or famine, to destroy or withhold the productions of the earth, industry languishes and enterprise sickens. May we not, in this case, adopt the opinion, "that affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;" but that there is an overruling Hand, which guides the destinies of nations, and often brings distress upon them, by means which human sagacity can neither foresee nor prevent?

Book Description
Excerpt from Miriam's Heritage: A Story of the Delaware River Miriam Morgan's home is nestled among the mountains of the Delaware: a long narrow valley, hedged by hemlock-crowned hills sloping eastward to the river. A brook, after miles of wandering in the forest, finds an outlet here; leaping merrily down the southern hillside; resting quietly in the pond above the mill; dashed to glittering fragments on the wheel; then rushes foaming across the valley to join the beautiful river, which sweeps unheeding by, until, lingering at a rocky cliff, its current is divided: part hurries onward, and part returns to welcome the noisy little brook, and reflect again the grassy bank, the white cottage, and the green hills; forming one of the prettiest scenes to the eye of an artist, and the best rafting eddy to the eye of a lumberman, to be found in the country. Here millions of feet of logs and lumber are each year rafted by hardy men, who brave heat and cold, fire and flood, to cut, haul, rescue, and raft the lumber, which is their only source of revenue. Sometimes a storm overflows the mountain streams, fills the mill-ponds, bursts the dams, and sweeps away buildings, bridges, roads, trees, and lumber. Sometimes a traveller empties the hot ashes from his pipe by the roadside, or a deserted camp-fire will be fanned by the breeze into a flame, and cords of bark and acres of timber are destroyed.
