The text, written by the Reverend John Heckewelder, a Moravian missionary based in Ohio and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, includes the author's observations, anecdotes, and advice, preserving not only his knowledge about the Indian nations in the eighteenth century but also his perspective, as a missionary and settler, on Native Americans and the often-fraught relationships between the tribes and European settlers. This version of the text, published in 1876, contains an introduction and notes by the Reverend William C. Reichel as well as a glossary of Lenape words and phrases and letters between the author and the then-president of the American Philosophical Society concerning the study of the Indian nations and their languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271067012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271067018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metalmark Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.05d","brand":"John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199038968063,"sku":"9780271067018","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d77b5f5b-6640-4e91-a75c-63435d58a95b.jpg?v=1727924848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-manners-and-customs-of-john-gottlieb-ernestus-heckewelder-9780271067018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
