Book Synopsis King of the Delawares by : Anthony F. C. Wallace
Book excerpt: "King of the Delawares, with a new preface by the author, provides a fascinating portrait of Teedyuscung, from his early years when he tried to bring white customs to the Delawares, through his long and ardent efforts to regain lands belonging to his people, and ending with his murder in 1763 by land-hungry settlers. Using a psychological/anthropological approach that he largely invented, Wallace clearly demonstrates the tragedy of the Delawares' existence, caught between the English, the French, and the Iroquois."--Cover.
