About This Item
Springfield: Milton Bradley and Co. Very Good+. 1883. Print. 1 pages; Fabulous chromolithograph depicting William Penn and some settlers meeting with a group of Native Americans. Image measures 8.75 X 7.75 inches; matted print measures 14 X 11 inches. William Penn entered into the Treaty of Shackamaxon in 1683 with Tamanend, a chief of the Lenape ("Delaware Indians") Turtle Clan, under the shade of an elm tree near the village of Shackamaxon (now Kensington) in Pennsylvania. The peace between the Lenape Turtle Clan and Penn's successors would endure for over 70 years, until the Penn's Creek Massacre of 1755. The treaty William Penn entered into was remarked upon by Voltaire, who called it "... the only treaty never sworn to and never broken." .
