The Conquest Series is:

•   American history through Indian eyes.

•   A historically accurate account of the Delaware (Lenni Lenape) Indians, as told by their own storytellers.

•   Maps and illustrations that give form and feature to the characters
and events.

•   A thought-provoking search for truth.

•   A story of the timeless struggle between good and evil, right and wrong.

The Conquest Series is a saga of the Delaware Indians. This novel in four volumes recounts the events that led to the loss of the Delaware homeland, a homeland given them by the Great Spirit hundreds of years before the Europeans arrived.

American Indian Painter, George Catlin (1796-1782), once wrote of the Delaware Indians: “Amongst this tribe there are some renowned chiefs, whose lives, if correctly written, would be matter of the most extraordinary kind for the reading world.” The Conquest Series is the story of the lives of some of those renowned Delaware chiefs.

In The Conquest Series Lenape heroes come alive as storytellers and orators pass their history on to their own people. Their record of events sounds strikingly different than the biased tales so often told in the white man’s history books. The Conquest Series uses the true life story of Glikkikan, a famous Lenape war chief who almost took Fort Pitt, to tell about the conquest of the Lenape homeland, and about his own personal conquest as he sought another homeland for himself and for his people. The story of the Conquest is presented in four volumes.

Glikkikan in Peace Valley

The setting for Volume I and Volume II is located in Peace Valley Park near Dublin, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Here on a hill above Neshaminy Creek, Owechela, an eighty year old chief, passes on an oral history of the Delaware Indians to his grandson, Glikkikan. But Owechela’s story is more than an oral history. Owechela aims to instill in Glikkikan a love for his homeland and to inspire Glikkikan that he might pass the courageous Spirit of Tamenend on to the next generation.

Tomahawks to Peace cover Volume III
Tomahawks to Peace

Tomahawks to Peace moves forward in Lenape history, portraying the life and times of Glikkikan. In Volume III Glikkikan is the renowned Lenape orator, the heathen war chief, the champion of his people, and the consummate seeker of truth.

Tomahawks to Peace tells the tale of how a skilled Lenape orator (Glikkikan) tries to convince a doubtful white youth (Turtle) that the Indian grievances leading to the French and Indian War were real. Turtle never accepts the truth of Glikkikan's tale until...

You will be caught up in the struggle as Glikkikan and "Turtle" try to separate truth from fiction while the world they know crashes around them.

"In Tomahawks to Peace you will discover an America you never knew existed. Rich in historical detail, this novel challenges our understanding of our Nation's history using the true words of those who seemingly had no voice in its creation, yet who were forever changed by it." Mark Turdo, author of Common People, Uncommon Community: Lenape Life in Moravian Missions.

"Tomahawks to Peace is a historical novel detailing the displacement of the Delaware Indians of Pennsylvania by the colonists from Europe. Fully true to the happenings of the time, the reconstructed story keeps the reader's interest in a way that a pure history would not. We already know the story from the perspective of the colonists and the Penn family. Here we learn how the events looked to the Indians and how their lives and livelihoods were irrevocably disrupted by the actions of others." Stephen Russell, author of Overcoming Evil God's Way: The Biblical and Historical Case for Nonresistance.
