Axion Band
The Axion or Atsayonck were a band of Lenape Native Americans from present-day New Jersey. Their name may have derived either from the Unami term for "mud" or from Assiscunk Creek. The Axion lived along the Assunpink Creek, within territory bounded by Rancocas Creek and the site of what is now Trenton. In the mid-17th century, they were one of the largest Lenape bands on the Delaware River. Name The name Axion derives from ''assiscu'', an Unami language term for "mud", and translates as "the muddy place". The name is also recorded as "Atsayonck". American archaeologist and historian Daniel Garrison Brinton suggested their name might derive from Assiscunk Creek, near Burlington, New Jersey. Czech-American anthropologist Aleš Hrdlička noted in 1902 that the Axion may have shared their etymology with the Atrions, a band living above the Mingo. American archaeologist and historian Daniel Garrison Brinton suggested their name might derive from Assiscunk Creek, near Burl ...

Delaware River
The Delaware River is a major river in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and is the longest free-flowing (undammed) river in the Eastern United States. From the meeting of its branches in Hancock, New York, the river flows for along the borders of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, before emptying into Delaware Bay. The river has been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as one of the country's Great Waters and has been called the "Lifeblood of the Northeast" by American Rivers. Its watershed drains an area of and provides drinking water for 17 million people, including half of New York City via the Delaware Aqueduct. The Delaware River has two branches that rise in the Catskill Mountains of New York: the West Branch at Mount Jefferson in Jefferson, Schoharie County, and the East Branch at Grand Gorge, Delaware County. The branches merge to form the main Delaware River at Hancock, New York. Flowing south, the river re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

After graduating from Yale University in 1858, Brinton studied at Jefferson Medical College for two years and spent the next year traveling in Europe. He continued his studies at Paris and Heidelberg. From 1862 to 1865, during the American Civil War, he was a surgeon in the Union army, acting during 1864–1865 as surgeon-in-charge of the U.S. Army general hospital at Quincy, Illinois. Brinton was sun-stroked at Missionary Ridge ( Third Battle of Chattanooga) and was never again able to travel in very hot weathers. This handicap affected his career as an ethnologist. After the war, Brinton practiced medicine in West Chester, Pennsylvania for several years; was the editor of a weekly periodical, the Medical and Surgical Reporter, in Philadelphia from 1874 to 1887; became professor ...

Extinct Native American Tribes
Extinction is the termination of an organism by the death of its last member. A taxon may become functionally extinct before the death of its last member if it loses the capacity to reproduce and recover. As a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Over five billion species are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryotes globally, possibly many times more if microorganisms are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation. Species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
