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)
“In some things, we Americans leave to other countries the carrying out of the principle that stands at the head of our Declaration of Independence.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
