Strona 133 - Father, pay attention to what I am going to say. While you, father, are setting me" (meaning the Indians in general) "on your enemy much in the same manner as a hunter sets his dog on the game, while I am in the act of rushing on that enemy of yours, with the bloody destructive weapon you gave me, I may perchance happen to look back to the place from whence you started me, and what shall I see ? Perhaps I may see my father shaking hands with the Long-Knives ; yes, with these very people he now calls...
Strona 253 - Harkee, bear ! you are a coward, and no warrior, as you pretend to be. Were you a warrior, you would show it by your firmness, and not cry and whimper like an old woman. You know, bear, that our tribes are at war with each other, and that yours was the aggressor. You have found the Indians too powerful for you, and you have gone sneaking about in the woods, stealing their hogs ; perhaps at this time you have hog's flesh in your belly.
Strona 299 - The fame of this great man extended even among the whites, who fabricated numerous legends respecting him, which I never heard, however, from the mouth of an Indian, and therefore believe to be fabulous. In the revolutionary war, his enthusiastic admirers dubbed him a saint, and he was established under the name of St. Tammany, the patron saint of America. His name was inserted in some calendars, and his festival celebrated on the first day of May in every year. On that day a numerous society of...
Strona 46 - ... from a distant country, and had struck upon this river somewhat higher up. Their object was the same with that of the Delawares ; they were proceeding on to the eastward, until they should find a country that pleased them.
Strona 171 - The murderer was thunderstruck, and without replying a word, slunk off and left the house. The anecdote with which I am going to conclude this chapter, will display an act of heroism produced by this elevation of mind which I have called pride, which, perhaps, may have been equalled, but, I dare say, was hardly ever surpassed. In the spring of the year 1782, the war chief of the Wyandots of Lower Sandusky sent a white prisoner (a young man whom he had taken at Fort...
Strona x - Names which the Lenni Lennape or Delaware Indians gave to rivers, streams, and localities, within the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, with their significations.
Strona 47 - When the Lenape arrived on the banks of the Mississippi they sent a message to the Alligewi to request permission to settle themselves in their neighborhood. This was refused them, but they obtained leave to pass through the country and seek a settlement farther to the eastward. They accordingly began to cross the...
Strona 98 - considers himself as being created by an all-powerful, wise and benevolent Mannitto ; all that he possesses. all that he enjoys, he looks upon as given to him or allotted for his use, by the Great Spirit who gave him life ; he therefore believes it to be his duty to adore and worship his creator and benefactor...
Strona 256 - They view this desperate act as the consequence of mental derangement, and the person who destroys himself is to them an object of pity. Such cases do not frequently occur. Between the years 1771 and 1780, four Indians of my acquaintance took the root of the may-apple, which is commonly used on such occasions, in order to poison themselves, in which they all succeeded, except one. Two of them were young men, who had been disappointed in love, the girls on whom they had fixed their choice, and to...
Strona 328 - I swear to your Majesties, that there is not a better people in the world than these ; more affectionate, affable, or mild. They love their neighbors as themselves and they always speak smilingly.
