Summary |
In 1681, the land we know today as Pennsylvania was a sprawling wilderness. Except for occasional clearings and medows, forests were everywhere. Since about 1630, European colonists had been living in small towns - hamlets, really - along the Delaware River, but these settlements were scattered. Pennsylvania's Indians had become skilled farmers, and often gave or sold surplus crops to Europeans who were struggling to establish toeholds in North America. But the Indians also relied heavily on fishing and hunting. Deer, bear, turkey, shad, eels and mussels were common foods in native towns. How then did the conflict between Settlers and Indians come about? |
