About this book
The Walam Olum, or Red Score, is a record in symbols and text said to preserve the ancient history of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Daniel G. Brinton, professor of ethnology and archaeology in Philadelphia, prints its complete text and symbols with a new translation and an inquiry into whether it is genuine.
Around it he groups studies of the Native peoples of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland: the Algonkin and Iroquois stocks, the Eastern Algonkin confederacy and its tribes, and the Lenape's history, traditions, language and customs. His preface admits the text may prove a fabrication. The volume appeared in 1885 as number five in a series on aboriginal American literature.
