Teedyuscung (c. 1700-1763) was known as "King of the Delawares." He worked to establish a permanent Lenape (Delaware) home in eastern Pennsylvania in the Lehigh, Susquehanna, and Delaware River valleys. Teedyuscung participated in the Treaty of Easton, which resulted in the surrender of Lenape claims to all lands in Pennsylvania. Following the treaty, the Lenape were forced to live under the control of the Iroquois in the Wyoming Valley near modern-day Wilkes-Barre. Teedyuscung was murdered by arsonists on the night of April 19, 1763. This marked the beginning of the end of the Lenape presence in Pennsylvania.


This biography of Teedyuscing was Anthony Wallace's first book, published in 1949.

Wallace, in full Anthony Francis Clarke Wallace, (born April 15, 1923, Toronto, Ontario, Canada-died October 5, 2015, Pennsylvania, U.S.), Canadian-born American psychological anthropologist and historian known for his analysis of acculturation under the influence of technological change.Wallace received his Ph.D. in 1950 from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and taught there from 1951 to 1988. His most important work, Rockdale: The Growth of an American Village in the Early Industrial Revolution (1978), is a psychoanthropological history of the Industrial Revolution. Wallace studied the cultural aspects of the cognitive process, especially when it involves the transfer of information during periods of technological expansion. In other books he compares religion as a movement of "social revitalization" among the American Indians and in modern times. His books include King of the Delawares: Teedyuscung, 1700-1763 (1949), Culture and Personality (1961, rev. ed. 1970), Religion: An Anthropological View (1966), Death and Rebirth of the Seneca (1970), The Social Context of Innovation (1982), St. Clair: A Nineteenth-Century Coal Town's Experience with a Disaster-Prone Industry (1987), and The Long, Bitter Trail: Andrew Jackson and the Indians (1993).
