ON
THE DELAWARE
AmanduS Johnson Says There
is Much MiSInfOrmatiOn
on the Subject

At the monthly meeting of the Del
aware Historical Society last night
Amandus Johnson, secretary or the
Swedish Colonial Society of Philadel-
phia, lectured on early Swedish Set
Elements on the Delaware"
Much had been written during the
last 60 years Of the Swedes in Amer
lea, Mr.. johnson said, but few of the
writer's had gone to the original doc
uments and much that had been writ
ten was inaccurate. Particularly so
was all that which had attributed the
Swedish colonization to the South Com
pany. The South Company was not
connected with the Swedish colonies
on the Delaware, Mr.. Johnson de-
clared.
The Swedish colonies on the Della
ware were the direct outcome of what
Mr.. johnson termed the great Swed-
ish copper trusts of the seventeenth
century. when the combined compan-
les sought to open a field for their
trade in the new country. The New
Sweden Company brought about the
Swedish colonization Of the banks of
the Delaware in 1886. In 1888 the first
map Of the Swedish colony about Fort
Chrlstiana on the city of Wilmington
was sent to Sweden, but II was sub
sequently lost. and Mr.. Johnson has
not been able to find It in any public
or private collection in Sweden. on
March 20, 1888. deeds were signed by
which the Indians transferred the land
TO the Swedes and Dutch allies under
Peter Minuit. In 1859 one of Minuit's
ships that had been TO Cuba brought
the first negro slave 10 this colony.
Minuit was drowned at sea during
a storm on the way back to Sweden
in August of 1888 and the administra-
tions Of various other governors were
detailed interestingly by the lecturer.
BY 1910 the final establishment Of the
colony Of Swedes had been established
and trading between the Swedes and
Indians and English and Dutch colon
lists was in progress.
A new government was organized in
1643 and the first courts We're held at
Christiana- AS early as 1906, Mr..
johnson said, the Swedes had taken up
forest conservation and large tracts of
timber had been set off into forest pre-
serves. A distinguishing feature of
the Swedish colonization was the amic-
able relations between the colonists and
the Indians.
At a brief business session prior &c
Mr.. Johnson's lecture. the following
new members were nominated: Ac.
tive-A. r. Jones. DR.. L. w. Finn
Frederick Pyle, George S. McCovern
