Andrew Newman examines several controversial episodes in the historical narrative of the Delaware (Lenape) Indians, including the stories of their primordial migration to settle a homeland spanning the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, the arrival of the Dutch and the first colonial land fraud, William Penn's founding of Pennsylvania with a Great Treaty of Peace, and the \"infamous\" 1737 Pennsylvania Walking Purchase. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Newman demonstrates, the quest for ideal records--authentic, authoritative, and objective, anchored in the past yet intelligible to the present--has haunted historical actors and scholars alike.
