The book covers topics such as social organization, religious beliefs, economic practices, and artistic expression, and includes detailed descriptions of the various tribes and subgroups that lived in the region. Overall, ""The Indians of Greater New York and the Lower Hudson"" is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on a little-known chapter of American history and provides valuable insights into the rich cultural heritage of the Native American peoples who once called this area home.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
