Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Minisink Double Wedding: A Story of Old Minisink Village Between the Minisink Indian War of 1754-8, and the French and Indian War of 1763-5 The following story is laid in Jersey Miuisink, as the part of old Minisink east of the Delaware river was once called. Old Minisink was the land of the Minsi. or. as the Dutch settlers called them. Mnusey Indians. They inhabited the Delaware river valley between the Pahoqtialin mountains on the east in New Jersey, now called the Blue mountains. and the Kittatinny mountains on the west in Pennsylvania; and extending from the Water Gap to Rose's point by the Nevcrsink River valley, and to Lacknwaxeu on the upper Delaware. The Mnusey of the German settlers, or in English the Minsi Indians, were the third division of the Letini Lenape or Delaware tribe. The first and ruling division was the Unami (Tortoise); the second the Wunslichtgo (Turkey); the third the Minsi (Wolf). The first inhabited New Jersey south and east of Pahoqualin mountain to the Atlantic ocean; the second occupied all the mountainous region south of the country of the Acquanaschioih, or Five (Six) Nations in Pennsylvania and part of Ohio, and were termed the Highlanders; the third occupied as we have seen, the Delaware and Neversink river flats and were termed the Lovvlanders. The three divisions each spoke a different dialect, yet could understand each other. They were also easily distinguished by their accent and the tribal totem which each warrior usually kept displayed in a sketch upon his person or arms. Thus at the capture of Wyltwyek (Kingston) by the Indians in September, 1663, the Dutch people easily recognized the Mnusey Indians among their assailants. The Minisink war was undertaken by the Delawares, sanctioned by the Six Nations, against the settlers in Pennsylvania Minisink for frauds perpetrated on them, and it was settled by Teedyuscnng in 1758. The French war began about 1764 and was carried on by predatory bands of warriors instigated by the wars between the English colonies and the French colony in Canada. After the English captured Canada there was a short cessation of Indian troubles, later revived by the Revolutionary war. During all these early wars there resided a considerable number of white people in Jersey Miuisink, who. besides the Indian wars, were involved for half a century in a struggle between the states of New York and New Jersey, as to which of them owned the lauds in that region. This arose from a dispute over the boundary line between the states. The scene of our story is laid in the disputed laud district. The states agreed that the line between them should begin on the Hudson river in latitude 41 degrees and 40 minutes, and should run to the most northern branch of the Delaware river.

Download or read book Manhattan to Minisink written by Robert S. Grumet and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drivers exiting the New Jersey Turnpike for Perth Amboy, and map readers marveling at all the places in Pennsylvania named Lackawanna, need no longer wonder how these names originated. Manhattan to Minisink provides the histories of more than five hundred place names in the Greater New York area, including the five boroughs, western Long Island, the New York counties north of the city, and parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Robert S. Grumet, a leading ethnohistorian specializing in the region’s Indian peoples, draws on his meticulous research and deep knowledge to determine the origins of Native, and Native-sounding, place names. Grumet divides his encyclopedic entries into two parts. The first comprises an alphabetical listing of nearly 340 Indian place names preserved in colonial records, located by county and state. Each entry includes the name’s language of origin, if known, and a brief discussion of its etymology, including its earliest known occurrence in written records, the history of its appearance on maps, and the name’s current status. The book’s second section presents nearly 200 place names that, though widely believed to be of Indian origin, are “imports, inventions, invocations, or impostors.” Mistranslations are abundant in place names, and Grumet has ferreted out the mistakes and deceptions among home-grown colonial etymologies that New Yorkers have accepted for centuries. Complete with a concise history of Greater New York, a discussion of the region’s naming practices, a useful timeline, and four maps, this is an invaluable resource both for scholars and for readers who want a more intimate knowledge of the place where they live or visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Quick, the Avenger of the Delaware, devoted his life to exterminating the few remaining Indians in northeast Pennsylvania. At the time this book was written, he was one of the great icons of American folklore and his exploits were the common fare of fireside storytellers and cracker-barrel old-timers. Today, Tom Quick is virtually forgotten. Political correctness recently motivated his hometown of Milford, PA to dismantle the handsome monument over his remains and replace it with an apologetic plaque. References to him have been eliminated from almost every local history.This book is the original biography of Tom Quick, published in 1851. It contains virtually every tale associated with the craft and cunning of Tom Quick, as well as many narratives relating to the early settlers of the upper Delaware Valley. Of special interest to historians are the chapters devoted to the Battle of Minisink during the American Revolution. The abridged version, published in 1894, lacks several key chapters, footnotes and the Appendix.This masterfully-crafted eBook faithfully preserves the original 1851 edition in its entirety and is fully-searchable and fully-printable.
