CHAPTER XIV.
PARLEY TELLS OF THE ORIGINAL NATIVE AMERICANS.
I recollect when I was staying in America, an old Delaware Indian came to Boston to sell some skins and furs, and he called at the house where I was stopping.

He had once been a chief among the Indians, but was now poor.
I went to this Indian's home, which was a little hut near Mount Holyoke.
We found his wife and his three children; two boys and a girl.

They came out to meet us, and were very glad to see their father and me.
I was very hungry and tired when I arrived.

The Indian's wife roasted some bear's flesh, and gave us some bread made of pounded corn, for our supper.
I then went to bed on some bear skins, and slept very well.

Early in the morning I was called to go hunting with the Indian and his two sons.
