[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] about three and a half miles west of Doylestown, in that county. Heckewelder adds, that when Colonel George Morgan of Princeton, visited the western Indians, by order of congress, in 1776, he was so beloved for his goodness that the Lenapes gave to him the name of their venerated chief. Morgan brought back to the whites such glowing accounts of the qualities of the ancient chief, that, in the revolutionary war, he was dubbed a saint, his name was placed on some calendars, and his festi val celebrated on the first day of May in every year. " On that day a numerous society of votaries walked together in pro cession through the streets of Philadelphia, their hats decorated with bucks' tails, and proceeded to a handsome rural place out of town which they called a wigwam, where, after a long talk or Indian speech had been delivered, and the calumet of friend ship and peace had been smoked, they spent the day in festivity and mirth. After dinner Indian dances were performed on the green in front of the wigwam, the calumet was again smoked, and the company separated." " After the war," adds Thatcher, " these meetings were broken up; but since that time Tam many societies have sprung up in Philadelphia and New York, which have excited no little influence in political circles." ALLUMMAPEES, or Sassoonan, is the first ruling king of the Lenapes, known to the records. He was the associate, perhaps the successor of Tamany.
