Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indians of Manhattan Island and Vicinity The Manhattans and their neigh bors, unlike the Indians west and north of them, wore no shirts or coats. Instead, they covered the upper parts of their bodies with robes made of dressed deer leather, of wolf, wildcat, or bear fur, or of the shimmering feathers of the wild turkey, neatly attached to a netted fabric. So closely and carefully were these feathers applied that they are said to have shed the rain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Death in New York History and Culture of Burials Undertakers Executions written by K. Krombie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like every aspect of life in the Big Apple, how New Yorkers have interacted with death is as diverse as each of the countless individuals who have called the city home. Waves of immigration brought unique burial customs as archaeological excavations uncovered the graves of indigenous Lenape and enslaved Africans. Events such as the 1788 Doctors' Riot--a response to years of body snatching by medical students and physicians--contributed to new laws protecting the deceased. Overcrowding and epidemics led to the construction of the "Cemetery Belt," a wide stretch of multi-faith burial grounds throughout Brooklyn and Queens. From experiments in embalming to capital punishment and the far-reaching industry of handling the dead, author K. Krombie unveils a tapestry of stories centered on death in New York.

This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Wars and the Uprising of 1655-Yonkers Depopulated: A Paper Read Before the Yonkers Historical and Library Association The situation may be briefly summed up as follows The Indians, as owners, had already been crowded off Manhattan Island, but they dwelt in considerable numbers thereon by permission of the Dutch. A like state of things was existent upon Long Island. Upon the main land north of the Harlem they still lived in many an ancestral nook and in many an out-of-the-way corner. Cowed, crowded, watchful, many inclined to great friendliness, others full of wrath and determination to repossess their fair fields and fisheries. Along the Hudson, and stretching across the land far away on either side of it, were other Indian settlements, usually peacefully inclined so far as the Dutch settlers were concerned, but at strife often with other dusky tribes. Upon Manhattan Island, and presumably upon the Van der Donck plantation to the north of it, the Indians had been accustomed to free access to streets and farms and in some instances to the houses. No doubt they thought that if the white settler could enter upon their close and take home their rabbit or their fish, they, too, had equal right to poach upon his domain. We shall see. It may not be amiss to note here a few facts as to these aboriginal owners of our manor and county. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Indian Tribes of North America Classic Reprint written by John R. Swanton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Tribes of North America From the date of its first appearance in 1891 the Powell map of Linguistic Families of American Indians North of Mexico has proved of the widest utility. It has been reissued several times and copied into numerous publications. There has, however, been almost equal need of a map giving the location of the tribes under the several families. To one familiar from his readings in early American history with the names and locations of our prominent eastern tribes, such as the Delaware, Iroquois, Cherokee, and Choctaw, the preparation of a tribal map would seem to be simple, and it would indeed be so if all Indians had been grouped into bodies as clearly marked as those mentioned. But even in the eastern United States the term tribe is quickly found to have no uniform application. The Creeks were a confederation of a few dominant tribes and a number of subordinate bodies, each formerly independent. The name Delaware is com mouly said to have covered three tribes or subtribes, but while two of these seem never to have been independent of each other, the third, the Munsee, is often treated as if it were entirely separate. The name Powhatan was applied to about 30 tribes or subtribes which had been brought together by conquest only a few years before Virginia was settled, and the term Chippewa, or Ojibwa, is used for a multitude of small bands with little claim to any sort of governmental unity. In the case of the Iroquois, on the other hand, the tribe was only a part of the governmental unit, the Iroquois Confederation, or Longhouse. The northern Plains tribes present a certain coherence but farther south and west our difficulties multiply. An early explorer in Texas states that in that region, by nation was to be understood only a single town or perhaps a few neighboring villages, and in fact the number of tribal names reported from this section seems almost endless. In the governmental sense, each Pueblo community was a tribe, and if we were to attempt a complete list we should have in the first place a large number of existing, or at least recently existing.
