[1435] Cf. Vol. IV. 297. Schoolcraft later included in his Indian Tribes a reprint of David Cusick’s Ancient Hist. of the Six Nations (1825), the work of a Tuscarora chief. Brinton (Myths, 108) calls it of little value. Elias Johnson, another Tuscarora, printed a little Hist. of the Six Nations at Lockport in 1881.

[1437] This was the earliest of Morgan’s important writings on the Iroquois, but the full outcome of all his views on the Indian character and life can only be studied by following him through his later Ancient Society, his Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity, and his Houses and House-life of the American Aborigines. Cf. Pilling’s Proof-sheets for a conspectus of his works. Morgan’s early studies on the Iroquois sensibly affected his judgment in his later treatment of all other North American tribes.
[1438] Hale has also contributed to the Mag. Amer. Hist., 1885, xiii. 131, a paper on “Chief George H. M. Johnson, his life and work among the Six Nations;” and to the Amer. Antiquarian, 1885, vii. 7, one on “The Iroquois sacrifice of the white dog.”
A few other references on the Iroquois follow: Drake’s Book of the Indians, book v.; D. Sherman in Mag. West. Hist., i. 467; W. W. Beauchamp in Amer. Antiquarian (Nov., 1886), viii. 358; D. Gray on the last Indian council in the Genesee Country, in Scribner’s Mag., xxv. 338; Penna. Mag., i. 163, 319; ii. 407. For the Schaghticoke tribe, see Hist. Mag., June, 1870; and for those of the Susquehanna Valley, Miner’s Wyoming and Stone’s Wyoming. E. M. Ruttenber’s Indian Tribes of the Hudson River (Albany, 1872) is an important book. Miss Fletcher’s Report includes a paper on the N. Y. Indians, by F. B. Hough.

[1440] There is a sketch of this singular character in Brinton’s Lenape, ch. 7.
[1441] Also Amer. Whig Review, Feb., 1849; and in Beach’s Indian Miscellany.
[1442] We may also note: D. B. Brunner’s Indians of Berks county, Pa.; being a summary of all the tangible records of the aborigines of Berks County (Reading, Pa., 1881), and W. J. Buck’s “Lappawinzo and Tishcohan chiefs of the Lenni Lenape” in the Penna. Mag. of Hist., July, 1883, p. 215. The early writers to elucidate the condition of the Delawares soon after the white contact are Vanderdonck, Campanius, Gabriel Thomas, and later there is something of value in Peter Kalm’s Travels. The early authorities on Pennsylvania need also to be consulted, as well as the Penna. Archives, and the Collections of the Penna. Hist. Soc., and its Bulletin, whose first number has Ettwein’s Traditions and language of the Indians. Of considerable historical value is Charles Thomson’s Enquiry (see Vol. V. 575), and the relations of the Quakers to the tribes are surveyed in an Account of the Conduct of the Society of Friends towards the Indian Tribes (Lond., 1844); but other references will be found post, Vol. V. 582, including others on the Moravian missions, the literature of which is of much importance in this study. Cf. Chas. Beatty’s Journal of a two months’ tour (London, 1768), the works of Heckewelder and Loskiel, and Schweinitz’s Zeisberger. Cf. Miss Fletcher’s Report, p. 78.
