The principal tribes on the other side of New York Bay and the west bank of the Hudson (all belonging to the Lenape or Delaware nation) were the Navesinks, Raritans, Hackinsaeks, Aquackanonks, Tappans, and Haverstraws. The Wappinger sub-tribes or chieftaincies of Westchester County, thanks chiefly to the careful researches of Bolton, are capable of tolerably exact geographical loca-tion and of detailed individual de-scription. Bolton is followed in the main by Huttenber, who, giving due credit to the former while adding the results of his own investigations, is the final authority on the whole sub-ject at the present time. No apolo-gies need be made for transferring to these pages, even quite literally.
