Synopsis

The Conquest Series is an Indian saga of the Delaware Indians. This novel recounts the events that led to the loss of the Delaware homeland, a homeland given them by the Great Spirit hundreds of years before the Europeans arrived.In The Conquest Series Lenape heroes come alive as storytellers and orators pass their history on to their own people. Their record of events sounds strikingly different than the biased tales so often told in the white man’s history books.The Conquest Series uses the true life story of Glikkikan, a famous Lenape war chief who almost took Fort Pitt to tell about the conquest of the Lenape homeland, and about his own personal conquest as he sought another homeland for himself and for his people.
