"Introduction" And "Notes" To 1845 Gowans Edition Of Daniel Denton's A Brief Description Of New-York (1670), Gabriel Furman, Daniel Denton, Paul Royster (Transcriber & Depositor)

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

Furman’s introduction and notes to Daniel Denton’s A Brief Description of New York (1670) are less an attempt to elucidate that original work than an occasion for disquisitions on a variety of subjects; not, however, without their own charm and intrinsic interest.

Gabriel Furman (1800-1854) was a Brooklyn lawyer, justice, and state senator, as well as an antiquarian, collector, and lecturer. He published Notes, Geographical and Historical Relative to the Town of Brooklyn in 1824, and was a lifelong compiler of research, manuscripts, and documents, many of which were edited for publication after his death as Antiquities of Long Island …

David Cusick’S Sketches Of Ancient History Of The Six Nations (1828), David Cusick, Paul Royster (Editor & Depositor)

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

This very early (if not the first) account of Native American history and myth, written and published in English by an Indian, is valuable on that score alone. This online electronic edition (in pdf format) was transcribed from digital images of the 1828 edition in the Library of Congress. No attempt has been made to correct or regularize spelling and punctuation or to standardize the language of the original; some typographical errors have been corrected, and these are listed in the notes.

The history begins at the Creation, with the twin brothers Enigorio and Enigonhahetgea (the good spirit and evil …
