(Edward Manning) 07009870 Footprints of the Red Men Indian geographical names in the valley of Hudson's river, the valley of the Mohawk, and on the Delaware: their location and the probable meaning of some of them. Produced by Roger Burch with scans provided by the Internet Archive. "Footprints of the Red Men" by Edward Manning Ruttenber is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into Indian geographical names found in the Hudson River valley, the Mohawk valley, and on the Delaware, exploring their locations and meanings. The book aims to preserve and elucidate the significance of these names, which reveal insights into the geography, history, and culture of the indigenous peoples who inhabited these regions. The opening of the book lays the groundwork by emphasizing the importance of Indian geographical names as descriptive and significant rather than mere arbitrary labels. Ruttenber discusses the inconsistencies in the recording and understanding of these names due to variations in dialects, spelling by early European settlers, and the loss of original meanings over time. He intends to investigate the original meanings and connections of these names to the features of the land they described, ultimately suggesting that they can offer a richer understanding of the natural world and historical context from the perspective of the indigenous tribes.
