Brotherton: New Jersey's First and Only Indian Reservation
and the Communities of Shamong and Tabernacle That Followed
By George Flemming; Foreword by Budd Wilson
George Flemming weaves together a
variety of primary and secondary sources with archaeology gathered
over a lifetime to chronicle the accounts of the Brotherton Reservation
and surrounding communities. This labor of love is interesting
and informative, and provides an insightful look into the daily
life of missionaries and Lenape Indians living in Southern New
Jersey from the mid-18th through the 19th centuries. Chapters relating
to the surrounding communities are especially interesting considering
how much has changed in these areas. Most of the places Flemming
documents are mere memories, consumed by development or absorbed
back into the landscape.
