128 WOLF DAYS IN PENNSYLVANIA. 



Lenni-Lenape. During the various periods of Indian 

 hostilities in what is now Pennsylvania, the Munsee, 

 and especially the Minsi, were the most hostile to the 

 white settlers because of having been driven from the 

 country adjacent to the Delaware River by the various 

 purchases of the Penn family, and then driven from 

 the Susquehanna, notably at Wyoming, by the various 

 Susquehanna purchases. The Munsee were usually 

 allied with the Mahickons and the Senecas, and be- 

 came veritable "wolves" in their raids on settlements. 

 The above information was furnished to the writer by 

 Rev. Dr. George P. Donehoo, of Coudersport, one of 

 the great authorities on the Indian period in Pennsyl- 

 vania, and the able secretary of the State Historical 

 Commission, The history of the Indians is closely 

 interwoven with that of the wolves, and further re- 

 searches will surely unearth a wealth of interesting 

 materials.
