The Indians of Lenapehoking

The Indians of Lenapehoking (Len-nah-pay-haw-king, meaning the "Land of the Lenape") contains reliable archaeological, historical, and ethnographical information about the Lenape or Delaware Indians, and dispels numerous inaccuracies found in older accounts.  This highly illustrated book, in its sixth printing, has been popular among upper-class students.  Designed under grants from the New Jersey Department of Education and New Jersey Historical Commission in consultation with teachers and librarians.
