520			_a"Stories of New Jersey" by Frank R. Stockton is a collection of historical narratives written in the late 19th century. This work explores the early history and significant events in New Jersey, presenting tales of the native tribes, European explorers, and settlers who shaped the region. Through a series of chronological stories, Stockton aims to provide insight into the state's indigenous culture and the transformative encounters with various European powers. The opening of the book introduces the Lenni-Lenape Indians, depicting their origins and early migrations leading to their discovery of New Jersey, which they named Scheyichbi. The narrative discusses how they interacted with other tribes such as the Iroquois and reflects on their societal structures, customs, and governance. It illustrates the Lenape's rich storytelling tradition and their interactions with European explorers like Sebastian Cabot and Henry Hudson, setting the stage for understanding the cultural and historical significance of New Jersey as it transitioned from an indigenous territory to a contested landscape among European powers.
