{"title":"M R Harrington","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"indians-of-new-jersey-book-m-r-harrington-9780813504254","title":"The Indians of New Jersey","description":"Here is a story of the Lenape Indians who lived in what is now New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. It describes their culture, crafts, and language as no other book has done. Hunters, fishers, artisans of flint and skins and basketry, tellers of traditional tales, dwellers in a region of hills and barrens, of rivers and forests, they had developed a way of life adjusted to the world around them.   In presenting the lore and heritage of the Lenapes, Dr. M.R. Harrington does so through the eyes of a shipwrecked English boy who became a captive of the Indians, and was eventually adopted into the tribe. The narrative is lively reading, and the facts on which it is based are accurate. With the accompanying Clarence Ellsworth line drawings, the reader can understand and even reproduce many of the objects the author describes: the Lenape bows and arrows, muccasins and mats, baskets and bowls.   This new edition is a reissue of an often asked for an unavailable New Jersey classic, first published in 1938.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49655937499409,"sku":"GOR003280843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50128733667601,"sku":"CIN0813504252G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50206045569297,"sku":"CIN0813504252A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008176750865,"sku":"NIN9780813504254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51550792089873,"sku":"CIN0813504252VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52588869615889,"sku":"NLS9780813504254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813504252.jpg?v=1752315542"},{"product_id":"iroquois-trail-book-m-r-harrington-9780813504803","title":"The Iroquois Trail","description":"Thousands of schoolchildren have read the adventures of Dickon, the English boy who was rescued from a shipwreck by the Lenape Indians, told in The Indians of New Jersey by M. R. Harrington. Now they and others can follow Dickon's further adventures in The Iroquois Trail.   As Dickon and his companions travel the Iroquois Trail in search of his Lenape brother, Little-Bear, they learn the ways of the Onondagas, Senecas, Mohawks, Oneidas, and Cayugas. Dickon tells his own story, describing the day-to-day activities in the villages along the trail-their ways of making clothing, weapons, household articles, and ornaments, and how they hunt, cook, travel, and worship. He meets Hiawatha, Deganawide, Jigonsasay, and other Indian leaders. His tale is accompanied by line drawings that vividly portray the art of making baskets, moccasins, bows and arrows, clothing, and other everday articles. These illustrations are done by Don Perceval, a renowned artist and specialist on Indians.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49762562310417,"sku":"CIN0813504805G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008025755921,"sku":"NIN9780813504803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144739287313,"sku":"NLS9780813504803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813504805.jpg?v=1752317571"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ceremonies-of-the-lenape-1921-book-m-r-harrington-9780548665985","title":"Religion And Ceremonies Of The Lenape (1921)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51003497087249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003497775377,"sku":"NIN9780548665985","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0548665982.jpg?v=1750782854"},{"product_id":"sacred-bundles-of-the-sac-and-fox-indians-book-m-r-harrington-9789353952525","title":"Sacred bundles of the Sac and Fox Indians","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51067675181329,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51067676623121,"sku":"NIN9789353952525","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52478702387473,"sku":"NLS9789353952525","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9353952522.jpg?v=1750969442"},{"product_id":"cherokee-and-earlier-remains-on-upper-tennessee-river-1922-book-m-r-harrington-9780548993569","title":"Cherokee And Earlier Remains On Upper Tennessee River (1922)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51134893130001,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51134895751441,"sku":"NIN9780548993569","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0548993564.jpg?v=1751167079"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ceremonies-of-the-lenape-1921-book-m-r-harrington-9780548981597","title":"Religion And Ceremonies Of The Lenape (1921)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51136127172881,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51136129892625,"sku":"NIN9780548981597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0548981590.jpg?v=1751198624"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ceremonies-of-the-lenape-book-m-r-harrington-9781408648520","title":"Religion And Ceremonies Of The Lenape","description":"CONTENTS PAGE: Preface . 13 CHAPTER I Pantheon . 17 Supreme Being . 18 Evil Spirit . 24 Manitowiik of the Four Directions 25 TheSun . 27 The Moon . 28 The Earth . 28 Thunder Beings . 29 Keepers of the Heavens . 31 Misingh li kiin, or Living Solid Face . 32 Mother Corn . 43 CHAPTER I1 Minor Deities . 45 Doll Being . 4.5 Tornado . 47 Snow Boy . 48 Comet . 48 Evil Manitowiik . 49 Animal Spirits . 49 Plant Spirits . 51 Local Genii . 51 INDIAN NOTES - - - . - 6 LENAPE PACE CHAPTER CHASPuTrEvR iv 1 a 1 l 1 of the Soul . 52 The Soul . 52 The Land of Spirits . 52 Ghosts and Mediumship . 54 Early Accounts . 56 Penn . 56 Brainerd . 56 Zeisberger . 57 CHAPTER IV Visions and Guardian Spirits . 61 .

He contacted various chieftains and descendants of the Lenape, many of whom were scattered across different locations, particularly in Kansas and Oklahoma. The author's enquiry spans the belief structure of the Lenape; an overarching God has many minor deities subordinate, and these are listed and discussed. The importance of spirits is analyzed: some act as guardians to mortals while others corrupt with evil intentions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs and illustrations depict the costumes and attire of the Lenape, plus a selection of objects significant to their ceremonies. The vision quests, notably induced by the consumption of the peyote cactus, are described and pictured. As with many Native American traditions, the natural world and the animal kingdom inspire many of the rituals: gathered groups would often dedicate their fervent prayers and songs to a given creature or aspect of nature. For the Lenape, the use of the drums during such gatherings was paramount: several illustrations of expertly carved drumsticks and drawn-out animal hides accompany the text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51386603995409,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51386605306129,"sku":"NIN9781789873559","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178987355X.jpg?v=1750994377"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ceremonies-of-the-lenape-1921-book-m-r-harrington-9781163974421","title":"Religion And Ceremonies Of The Lenape (1921)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51656688337169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51656688533777,"sku":"NIN9781163974421","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1163974420.jpg?v=1750792134"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ceremonies-of-the-lenape-book-m-r-harrington-9781023542685","title":"Religion and Ceremonies of the Lenape","description":"Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
