Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Government of Pennsylvania: A Supplement to Elementary American History and Government Algonquins and Iroquois. The Indians whom the settlers found on their arrival in Pennsylvania were a branch of the Algonquin family called the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians. Their traditions said that they had come years ago from the west and had finally succeeded in crossing the Alleghanies in spite of the opposition of the Iroquois. For several hundred years the Iroquois had been organized into a great confederacy called the Five Nations. This union made them more effective as fighters, so that, at the coming of Penn, they had succeeded in conquering all the Algonquin tribes in the east. The Indians lived in small huts of bark or skins, grouped in villages, which were generally located along good streams where there was tillable land on which the Indians could raise the com, beans, squash, pumpkin, and other vegetables which they cultivated. All the tribes were divided into clans each of which had a sachem who was the chief authority. The sachems decided questions concerning peace and war and other matters which affected the tribe as a whole. When the tribe went to war, the authority over the warriors was given to the chiefs who gathered around them enough warriors to undertake an expedition. The Dutch. Interested by the explorations of Henry Hudson, the Dutch sent an expedition to America in 1613 for the purpose of establishing posts for trading with the Indians. One of their captains, Cornelius May, entered the capes of the Delaware and gave his name to Cape May. On a later expedition May sailed up the river and built a fort which he called Fort Nassau, opposite Philadelphia.
