The Delaware Indians: Eastern Fishermen & Farmers

by Sonia Bleeker

For the sixth volume in her authoritative series about North American Indians, Miss Bleeker has chosen a tribe whose former territory is now Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and southern New York. ... This important tribe's typical habits and customs, legends and ceremonies, are presented through the eyes of one particular family and its children. The history of the Delaware--including a graphic picture of their happy relations with William Penn--is brought up to the present day.

We read the first four chapters as part of learning about the Algonquian tribes of Indians. I was amazed at how much my children (Ages 7 & 5) enjoyed this older book. I will definitely try to seek out others by this author.
