The Conquest Series
A Saga of the Delaware Indians
By James G. Landis
About the Series:
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.
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.
Volume I: The Lenape Homeland ($10.95)
The Lenape Homeland tells the dreams, the legends, the events, the heroes, and the beliefs of the Lenape Indians that later direct Glikkikan in his own search for truth.
The Lenape Homeland presents not only the early history of the Lenape Indians, but also the coming of the white man to the Delaware River Valley as seen through Indian eyes. This part tells of great Lenape sachems—Tamenend, Eesanques, and Mattahorn—and of their struggle to save their homeland from the thrusts of an ever-advancing foe."The author's research about this lesser-known tribe appears to be sound and extensive, and his affection for the Lenape is evident." -- Margaret Donsbach, HistoricalNovels.info
Volume II: The Homeland in My Heart ($13.95)
The Homeland in My Heart is the life story of the Lenape sage, Meas, as he staggers through the events that engulf his life and times.
Meas strains to comprehend the meaning of life as he meets with settlers, traders, pirates, governors, Mennonites, soldiers, slaves, traitors, and his own people.
The volume launches scathing Lenape attacks on the religious pretenses of the white man and mounts a defense of Native American worship and culture.
Volume III: Tomahawks to Peace ($15.95)
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.
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.

About the Author:
Love for learning sparked early in James Landis’ life. Raised on Pennsylvania and Virginia farms by a professor father and a home-loving mother, his world formed in a place where work and study intermingled. Reading and history lessons captured his young mind in class while farm chores educated his hands at home.
After graduating from high school, James chose agricultural work for three years. But the yearning for book learning propelled him on to college. For another year he sharpened English composition skills and reveled in Bible and history lessons.
James enlarged his education with diverse experiences. For fourteen years he dairy farmed on Georgia plains. He taught high school students amid Pennsylvania hills. He wrote at a publishing house in the New Mexico desert.
From his West Virginia mountain home he edited educational newsletters and penned articles for farm magazines. His hobbies vary from chess games and singing to beekeeping, landscaping, and composting.
His agricultural, economic, and historical interests spurred travel to Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
James prizes truth. He refuses to accept pat answers flipped to ethical questions. His beliefs demand Bible research, historical evaluation, and world-view consideration. James’ manifesto flies above the hearts of all seven of his children: “Drink knowledge. Hail adventure. Stand on truth.”
