‎Heckewelder John Gottlieb Ernest 1743 1823‎

‎History Manners Customs of The Indian Nations Who Once Inhabited Pennsylvania and the Neighboring States‎

‎xliv-47-465 pages with index. Royal octavo 9 3/4" x 6 3/4" bound in green cloth with spine label and lettering in black. Third edition.In the autumn of 1771 John Heckewelder entered upon his career as an evangelist to the Indians sharing the various fortunes of the Moravian mission among that people for fifteen years. The well-known missionary David Zeisberger having in 1768 established a mission among a clan of Monseys on the Allegheny within the limits of what is now Venango county was induced in the spring of 1770 to migrate with his charge to the Big Beaver and to settle at a point within the jurisdiction of the Delawares of Kaskaskunk. Heckewelder was appointed Zeisberger's assistant. In the spring of 1773 the mission was transferred to the valley of the Muskingum and Heckewelder became a resident of the Ohio country. Here several towns were build harboring the Moravian Indians and the missionaries. On the opening of the western border-war of the Revolution in the spring of 1777 the Moravian missionaries on the Muskingum realized the danger of their position. As neutrals both sides suspected them. As a result the moved their operations to a point on the Huron forty miles by water northwest of Detroit and built New Gnadenhutten in 1782. Four years later it was abandoned and resettled at Cuyahoga in present day norther Ohio. He severed his connections with the mission in 1786 and settled with his wife and family at Bethlehem. During this period of fifteen years he devoted his interest to work among the Indians. In 1792 Heckewelder with General Rufus Putnam went to me with the chiefs of the Seven Nations to treat for peace. Thirty-one of the chiefs signed a treaty of peace. In the spring of the following year once again he was commissioned to assist at a treaty with the United States for the purpose to ratify an agreement with the Miami of the Lake. Between 1797 and 1800 the subject of this work visited the Ohio country four times and in 1801 moved back to Gnadenhutten. Here he remained for nine years and preached the Gospel among the natives. In a time when there was a growing interest among people of science in this country Heckewelder was sought out in his retirement and called upon to contribute from his experience. In this way originated his association with Du Ponceau and Wistar of the American Philosophical Society and that of a career literary labor. In addition to occasional essays which are incorporated in the Transactions of the Historical and Literary Committee of that society Heckewelder in 1818 published this work. His Narritive of the Mission of the United Brethren among the Delaware and Mohican Indians appeared in 1820 and in 1822 he prepared his well-known collection of Names which the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians gave to the Rivers Streams and Localities within the States of Pennsylvania New Yersey Maryland and Virgina with their Significations.

‎Ancient Encounters : Kennewick Man and the First Americans‎

‎Simon & Schuster New York 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/New. 303 pages. This book is an unread copy. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. The skeleton known as Kennewick Man was discovered in 1996 by two young men along the Columbia River near Kennewick Washington. When the skeleton was brought to Jim Chatters a forensic anthropologist Chatters first believed that the remains were those of a nineteenth-century pioneer. He was astonished when radiocarbon dating revealed the skeleton to be approximately 9500 years old making it one of the oldest skeletons ever found in North America. But what really intrigued Chatters was that despite his antiquity Kennewick Man did not resemble modern Native Americans. So who was he and where did he come from "Ancient Encounters" is Chatters' compelling account of his quest to find the answers to these questions-a quest that ultimately was halted by political considerations. Chatters' investigation was cut short because local Indian groups claimed the skeleton under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act NAGPRA and demanded the right to rebury the remains. The Army Corps of Engineers which had jurisdiction over the land where Kennewick Man was found seized the skeleton and put it into federal storage where it remains to this day. The skeleton was not reburied because a group of scientists whom Chatters contacted to help him in his investigation filed suit to prevent this. Their suit is scheduled to go to trial in 2001. But "Ancient Encounters" is much more than a story of political intrigue. This is an anthropological detective story told by the first scientist to have studied Kennewick Man. In the short time that the skeleton was in Chatters' hands he learned a great deal about the man's life. Numerous serious injuries-including a spearpoint embedded in his hip-indicate that Kennewick Man led a dangerous perhaps even violent life. His physical characteristics suggest a relationship to the people of Polynesia perhaps a common ancestry. As Chatters consulted other experts and explored museum collections he learned that many of Kennewick Man's physical features were shared by other ancient skeletons discovered in the Americas. The first Americans or Paleo-Americans as they are known to some in the scientific community may have arrived in the Americas earlier and by a different route than has been generally agreed. Kennewick Man may hold significant clues to the ancestry of the people of the Americas which is why Chatters argues his skeleton deserves further study. Fascinating and impassioned "Ancient Encounters" is an important exploration of the origins of our earliest ancestors-and a critical examination of the controversy over who owns the past.
