Book excerpt: "The Grand Canyon has inspired storytellers and mythmakers for centuries. Stories told of it in oral traditions, books, newspapers, and brochures have entertained and fired the imaginations of listeners and readers with descriptions of subliminal beauty and endless adventure. The best Grand Canyon raconteur of them all might be John Hance, the first permanent Euro-American settler at Grand Canyon, a river guide, and a teller of such tall tales that his talent for spinning yarns helped establish the tourist trade at Grand Canyon more than a hundred years ago. Yet, as Shane Murphy points out, Hance's name is now largely forgotten. Visitors to Grand Canyon National Park won't find a statue of Hance or a commemorative sign or plaque with his name on it. Those who ride the Colorado River through the canyon might learn a little about Hance from a guide when they descend Hance Rapids, the longest and steepest of them all. Otherwise the name John Hance, which was once synonymous with Grand Canyon, is no longer part of its story. Shane Murphy's biography is an effort to rescue Hance from obscurity. It provides insights into Hance's life before he went west with his family to strike it rich as a miner in Arizona Territory. More importantly, Murphy shows how Hance and his outsized personality brought the wonders of an equally outsized landscape to the attention of would-be travelers before the days of the National Park Service and the creation of Grand Canyon National Park in 1919"--
Download or read book The Delaware Indians written by Clinton Alfred Weslager and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1972 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the best tribal histories . . . the product of decades of study by a layman archeologist-historian. With a rich blend of archeology, anthropology, Indian oral traditions (he gives us one of the best accounts of the Walum Olum, the fascinating hieroglyphics depicting the tribal origins of the Delaware), and documentary research, Weslager writes for the general reader as well as the scholar."--American Historical Review In the seventeenth century white explorers and settlers encountered a tribe of Indians calling themselves Lenni Lenape along the Delaware River and its tributaries in New Jersey, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, and southeastern New York. Today communities of their descendants, known as Delawares, are found in Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Ontario, and individuals of Delaware ancestry are mingled with the white populations in many other states. The Delaware Indians is the first comprehensive account of what happened to the main body of the Delaware Nation over the past three centuries. C. A. Weslager puts into perspective the important events in United States history in which the Delawares participated and he adds new information about the Delawares. He bridges the gap between history and ethnology by analyzing the reasons why the Delawares were repeatedly victimized by the white man.
