Excerpt from Wanamaker Primer of the North American Indian: The First American and First Tenant of the Soil of Philadelphia Now Occupied by the Wanamaker Store When Columbus and his sailors first came in sight of the outlying islands of our continent, four hundred and seventeen years ago, they believed the new country was part of the East Indies, and so they called the natives Indians, and by that name they have ever since been known.
