Native Americans
The Lenape Native Americans that came to the area two thousand years ago, traveled on the mountain in search of food and game. There was a deciduous forest with many varieties of nut trees, Native Americans collected these foods. They collected acorns, walnuts, hickory nuts, beech nuts, chestnuts, and butternuts. Fresh water streams were used to collect water. Game such as deer, elk, and bear was hunted on the mountain.

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or americans:
“It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Our job is now clear. All Americans must be prepared to make, on a 24 hour schedule, every war weapon possible and the war factory line will use men and materials which will bring, the war effort to every man, woman, and child in America. All one hundred thirty million of us will be needed to answer the sunrise stealth of the Sabbath Day Assassins.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
