This classic study of the history of Pennsylvania’s Indians, from the time of the European contact forward, was originally published in 1961. This second edition has been revised and updated to incorporate more modern content while keeping Wallace’s classic voice and unique perspective. This accessible work explores the primary groups of Indian peoples most important to Pennsylvania’s history—its most prevalent, primarily the Delaware or Lenni Lenape and the Susquehannock people, and the outside groups that had the largest impact upon Pennsylvania, primarily the neighboring Iroquois and refugee groups such as the Shawnee. The volume explores customs, governance, belief systems, conflict, migration, and policy, among many other topics. Sympathetic and balanced, this book has long been considered one of the best books on the Indian peoples of Pennsylvania.

<p>Published by the Erie County Historical Society in cooperation with the Erie Historical Museum and Planetarium. The project was supported by grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. "In 1795, the Pennsylvania legislature passed an "Act to Establish a Town at Presque Isle," and the community was to be named Erie. The history of Erie, Pennsylvania is as complex and varied as the lives of the countless men and women who built the city and made it what it is today. The purpose of this booklet is not to provide an exhaustive study of Erie's past, but rather to increase our understanding of the community we live in by providing a general chronology and outline of the city's history. By looking at those events which have made Erie a unique and distinct community, we can perhaps gain a new understanding of our city and our own lives." ---from the Introduction</p>
