| | 4 | Author: | Jackson, Halliday,1771-1835. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Some account of my journey to the Seneca Nation of Indians, and residence amongst that people, 1798-1799
| | | | Dates: | 1798-1799 | | | | Abstract: | This manuscript, entitled "An account of my journey to the Seneca Nation of Indians, and residence amongst that people," was compiled by Halliday Jackson, a Quaker missionary, during his yearlong residence with the Seneca Nation in New York. Jackson's chronicle is well-written, detailed, and often fascinating. It includes descriptions of daily life, weather, customs, and minutes of councils. A similar version was edited by Anthony F.C. Wallace and published in Pennsylvania History in 1952.

| | | | Dates: | 1840 | | | | Abstract: | This fascinating account of the Natchez was written in 1840 and appears to convey oral history of the time.

The document contains biographical data on prominent members of the Natchez and other native peoples, such as Pushmataha.

| 17 | Author: | unknown | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | John Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder papers
| | | | Dates: | 1800-1870 | | | | Abstract: | The John Heckewelder Collection consists of an assortment of documents, almost all of which deal with Native Americans. Heckewelder was a Moravian missionary to Delaware Indians in Pennsylvania who was a prominent figure in nineteenth century intellectual circles. The primary focus of the collection is on his attempt to preserve Native American languages, especially those of the Lenni Lenape (Delaware) in Pennsylvania. His correspondence and one publication also chronicle Native American history, customs, and life. Heckewelder also kept a meteorological journal while on his mission to Gnadenhutten, Pennsylvania from 1802-1814, which is part of the collection. Much of the collection comes from Heckewelder's correspondence with the APS and its prominent member and linguist Stephen Du Ponceau.
