John Brainerd and the First Indian Reservation.
Harper, Susanne Banta
Indian Historian, v12 n4 p20-21 1979
Describes the humanitarian founding in 1758 of the nation's first reservation--the Brotherton reservation for New Jersey's Lenni Lenape (Algonquin) Indians. The people were demoralized, sick, and decimated in numbers; and so the venture failed. In 1801 those few remaining sold the reservation and moved to join related tribes in New York. (DS)
