Farnham could not have written the man's name?

I wonder what the Delaware thinks now as he watches us from the spirit world. He probably sadly shakes his head. Yet there is always hope.

What is the source of this?

@ekiroto9 A journal written by Thomas Farnham in I believe 1838. The journal is authentic, but Farnham may have been a bit imaginative. Other members of his party told different stories about their ill fated 1838 expedition from Peoria to the Columbia.

Farnham could have faked it. Even so, the words were written shortly following his 1838 trip, so they still are impressive to me. I have thought about contacting Dartmouth to find out if there was a Delaware Indian enrolled there say 1810 to 1820 but I'd probably have to pay someone to do the research and I can't afford that.

Yes, I think so. Even if Farnham put words in the Delaware's mouth, the fact that people were thinking such things so long ago.........while we are still going in the other direction!
