** "The Lenâpé and Their Legends" by Daniel G. Brinton is a historical exploration of the Lenape, also known as the Delaware Indians, from the 1800's. The ethnological study examines their rich heritage through their stories, past events, language, cultural ways, and mainly on the WALAM OLUM, a historical record believed to hold important information on Lenape life and history. The book begins with explaining the author's reasons for putting together studies on the Lenape people, in particular with the WALAM OLUM, which was once believed to be lost forever. Brinton communicates his teamwork with native Delawares for interpretations and understandings and shows the importance of recording the Lenape’s traditions, beliefs, and language heritage. He gives an easy to follow structure for the book, hinting at the amount of research into the Lenape’s history, social life, storytelling, and the truth of their spoken traditions, setting the stage for a full inspection of their legacy. **
