Brinton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the ethnological studies of the Lenape, or Delaware Indians, highlighting their legends, history, language, and traditions. Central to the text is a focus on the WALAM OLUM, an ancient record believed to capture significant aspects of Lenape culture and history. The opening of the book introduces the author’s preface, explaining his motivation for compiling studies on the Lenape people, particularly the WALAM OLUM, which had previously been thought lost. Brinton notes his collaboration with native Delawares for translation and insights and emphasizes the importance of documenting the Lenape's customs, beliefs, and linguistic heritage. He outlines the structure of the book, hinting at the depth of research into the Lenape's history, sociology, mythology, and the authenticity of their oral traditions, setting the stage for a thorough examination of their cultural legacy.
