On the part of the Lenapes the name of TAMANY, or TAMANED has beerf preserved in a halo of traditionary glory. He was one of their sachems or kings, and lived possibly as late as 1680. Heckewelder says: "The fame of this great man extended even among the whites, who fabricated numerous legends respecting him, which I never heard, however, from the mouth of an Indian, and therefore believe to be fabulous."
