Preserving the Past, Serving the 
Present, Shaping the Future 

Northampton County 
Historical & Genealogical 
Society 

Don Repsher has just released The Common Sense 
Life: Tales from a Long-Ago Forest -- a meditative 
book encompassing historical contacts with the 
Native Americans of our area. Utilizing a host of 
seldom-read historical documents, Repsher’s book 
begins with the Norsemen in the 1300s and continues 
through the present, building a solid foundation for his 
discussion of Lenape lifeways and a central message 
of their spirituality. 

He was assisted in the composition of the book by 
contemporary Lenape descendants Chief Robert Red 
Hawk, Philip Graywolf, Chuck Gentle Moon DeMund, 
and Carol Kuhn. Don will hold a book-signing 
following the presentation.
