The family name of "Nimham" is on numerous land deeds and in local history books. Daniel's pursuit to reclaim the lost lands of his people from the land grabbers is well recorded, and after an unsuccessful visit to England in 1766 to reclaim the lost lands, he volunteered to serve on the continental side in the war against England. He and his son Abraham (1745- 1778) died in the Battle of Kingsbridge now in Van Cortland Park Area of the Bronx, NY.
This sculptural tribute symbolizes Nimham's duel roll during his life. His dedication to his people as the last sachem of the Wappingers in court and on the battlefield.
