Review
“Clear and compelling. . . . Through the life of Hannah Freeman, Marsh places the mythology of Penn’s peaceable kingdom in stark relief.”—Jean R. Soderlund, Western Historical Quarterly (Jean R. Soderlund Western Historical Quarterly 2016-09-13)"A thoughtful documentation of one woman's struggle to maintain her ancestral homeland."—Booklist (Booklist 2014-04-15)“In a genre that so often focuses on the lives of politically significant ‘great men’ (and occasionally women), we rarely learn of the lives of the marginalized, but this is exactly what historian Dawn G. Marsh has attempted. A Lenape among the Quakers is a scathing indictment of the hypocrisy of Quakers’ professions of peace while engaged in a land grab.”—Michelle LeMaster, Ethnohistory (Michelle LeMaster Ethnohistory)“Engagingly written—and impassioned as Marsh clearly chastises Hannah Freeman’s Quaker neighbors for their hypocrisy in promoting friendly relations with indigenous neighbors and landowners, while facilitating their dispossession.”—Gunlog Fur, Journal of the Early Republic (Gunlog Fur Journal of the Early Republic 2016-09-13)“With great insight and sensitivity, Dawn Marsh has pieced together Hannah Freeman’s story. All who have ever wondered what happened to Pennsylvania’s Native people should read this book.”—Nancy Shoemaker, author of A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America (Nancy Shoemaker 2013-09-20)“Using the closely examined life of a single eighteenth-century Native American woman, Dawn Marsh convincingly challenges Pennsylvania’s claim to a more just and humane treatment of its indigenous peoples, persuasively contending that Native Americans adopted complex strategies to preserve their cultural heritage, and explores the significance of the continuing mythology of ‘Indian Hannah’ Freeman—all in a good read.”—Melton McLaurin, author of Celia, A Slave (Melton McLaurin 2013-10-03)“Marsh makes commendable use of the scant documentary evidence to piece together Hannah Freeman’s life. Her painstaking efforts to give Hannah a voice are impressive.” Thomas Britten, The Historian (Thomas Britten The Historian)

Am thoroughly enjoying this much needed record of a person I have heard of all my life. I was born and still reside in the very area Indian Hannah lived and died. Also I am Quaker and my ancestors names are included in this well researched and written book.
I'm helping in recreating a Lanape home (wigwam) in my home state and the story of Hanna Freeman encorages me to learn more.
Excellent quality and delivery. Thanks so much! Would definitely order again from this seller.
This book reads the way a TV documentary sounds. Chapter 3 has valuable insights and I wish more people knew these details. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in history, especially early American history.A fascinating factoid from the book:Pennsylvania's homicide rate in the 1720's alone exceeded London's rate for all of the 18th century.(Every time a politician talks about violence like it's a new problem, think about that fact.)There is excellent insight to how the European settlers created poverty in a land that once had none. Then sections that show how they complained that people they made poor were now in poverty and, as such, a burden. There's even an excellent description of what a poorhouse was and how it came to exist.The book reveals Pennsylvania's false history, the settlers lie that there was an absolute extinction of all Indians in Pennsylvania. Hannah's death was part of their evidence. But the book also mentions that the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission reports 50,000 PA residents with Native American lineage, some of who are Lenni-Lenape like myself.The reasons I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 are as follows:I'm not sure that the Shackamoxon meeting under the Elm tree is actually well known by all Pennsylvanian children, though it should be. How the actual "naming" process works isn't revealed until page 78, so it might be confusing as to how the Lenapes names are assigned or assumed by the colonists before that section. The difference between Minsi and Munsee should have been touched upon, especially given how often people mistakenly use them interchangeably. Page 115 starts using the term "The Delawares" without mentioning how that name came into use, or who Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr is. The Walking Purchase mentions the runners, but doesn't note the wildly boasted— that they were identical siblings. (This cheating strategy is well known enough to be parodied in modern comedies.)
As I read this somewhat interesting account of the early American treatment of Delaware Indians I couldn't get one thing out of my mind. I suspect when the native Americans saw hoards of Europeans taking over their land and driving them westward they felt much the same as I do today. As our country is being taken over by people we never invited or wanted we are losing our way of life just as the natives did. But just as many Americans today have no concern about the influx of uninvited illegals, the natives initially weren't too upset over the increasing populations of Europeans. Once immigration reached a crucial threshold it was too late. The home team had lost and the situation could not be reversed. I do find what happened to American natives to be saddening. However, this is an example of the history of human expansion. We should not allow ourselves to label 18th century Americans as evil because they believed the natives to be less than civilized. They were not civilized by the standards of today or of 300 years ago. 18th century Americans had to struggle for subsistence and we hadn't gotten comfortable enough to get into the "give me your tired, your poor..." Routine. Getting off my soap box I do enjoy reading about the native history even though the author admits much of it is embellished. It is also eye awakening for me to read that we weren't too mean to the aging native Hannah to give her welfare and a place to live in a poor house. I wasn't aware such places existed in those days. I did appreciate the efforts made by Wm Penn and the Quakers to live in harmony with the natives. I liked the author's attempt to put the plight of the Delaware into the larger history of the natives but she could have included so much more. I was slightly perturbed that the author frequently repeated herself.
Book could use more history and less criticism of Chester County residents, past and present. Was an interesting read of Hannah' s life.
