A Visit to Friends in Charleston, South Carolina, 1819

Abstract

There is much reference to the Indians, Teedyuscung and Papunahung, in the minutes of the Meeting for Sufferings, Philadelphia, as well as in the Archives of Pennsylvania. Tract no. 50, entitled " John Papunahung the Converted Indian " published at 304 Arch Street by the Tract Association, gives no facts, and leaves the impression that the savage was a Quaker convert. In reality, Papunahung's conversion was one of the first fruits of the labors of David Zeisberger. The tract should be recalled or rewritten for it does not give a true impression of the facts.
