The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C
The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania. -

OF COLONEL HENRY BOUQUET's EXPEDITION AGAINST the OHIO INDIANS, 1764 (CARLISLE to FORT PITT) Edited by Edward G
ORDERLY BOOK I OF COLONEL HENRY BOUQUET'S EXPEDITION AGAINST THE OHIO INDIANS, 1764 (CARLISLE TO FORT PITT) Edited by Edward G. Williams Foreword 1959, the orderly book of the march of Colonel Henry Bouquet's Inarmy from Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh) to the Muskingum River in Ohio, with an introduction and explanatory notes by this author, ap- peared in the Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine in three in- stallments. 1 At that time a promise was made to print the orderly book of the march of the army from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Pitts- burgh. A decision of editorial policy was made to print the second orderly book during that bicentennial time. The accompanying presen- tation is a fulfillment of that obligation. There were originally three books which recorded the daily orders and explicit instructions to the regimental and company commanders for every detail of duty in the camp, courts-martial, road cutting, marching, and troop formations to receive an enemy attack. 2 Only two of the books have survived the years and, after the lapse of nearly two centuries, have found their way into hands that cherish them. The William L.Clements Library of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is the reposi- tory of these rare manuscript pieces among other collections of original source materials of American history. The books are bound inbrown leather, 8 by 4-7/16 inches, hinged at the top of the narrow dimension. The pages are yellowed, foxed, and water stained but well preserved and, for the most part, very legible. Mr. Williams, scholar, historian, and author of works on General Lachlan Mclntosh, General Richard Butler, and other notable persons connected with the early history of Western Pennsylvania,— resumes his annotation of the orderly books of Col. -
War Council to Meet on the ‘FIFTEENTH of the MOON’; the Phases of the Moon Were Used As the Indians’ Way of Establishing Time
THE PONTIAC COUNCIL & PONTIAC’S WAR* Historical background: 1763 *Variously referred to as Pontiac’s War, Pontiac’s Uprising, Pontiac’s Rebellion, or the Conspiracy of Pontiac. WHO: PONTIAC, or Obwandiyag (born ca. 1720 – April 20, 1769), was a Native American Ottawa war leader, remembered for his participation in the struggle against British occupation of the Great Lakes region that bears his name: Pontiac's War. Pontiac rose to great fame and importance during this war, and yet the documentary evidence of Pontiac's life is scanty. Much of what has been written about the chief has been based on tradition and speculation, and so depictions of him have varied greatly over the years. Beyond Pontiac himself, we turn to a literal cast of thousands on the 1763 stage: the CHIEFTAINS and WARRIORS of the Indian Nations of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions; the British SOLDIERS and OFFICERS who commanded and garrisoned the forts in the region; the British SETTLERS with the aim of moving westward from the crowded English/American colonies; the French HABITANTS who had lived in the region for generations; and the French & British TRADERS, all hoping to make their fortunes here. [For a list of important names see the last pages.] [portrait of Pontiac by John Mix Stanley, Detroit Historical Museum] Flag of New France 1760 Flag of Britain 1760 WHAT: It is said that Pontiac’s April 1763 COUNCIL on the ECORSE RIVER* was the largest Indian council attended by multiple Nations yet to meet in the western territory. Chiefs and warriors of the Great Lakes Nations were summoned together, and in a few weeks’ time over a dozen tribes would join the campaign. -

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot. -
Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine
THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 46 July 1963 Number 3 BUSHY RUN: DECISIVE BATTLE IN THE WILDERNESS Pennsylvania and the Indian Rebellion of 1763 Niles Anderson Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us. —Ecclesiasticus 44:1 should ring for Colonel Henry Bouquet and western Penn- sylvanians should give obeisance this 200th year of the anni- Bellsversary of the Battle of Bushy Run. This was the battle in which on August 5 and 6, 1763, Colonel Bouquet's intrepid little army of less than 500 men repulsed an almost equal number of Indians on the hilltops east of Harrison City, Westmoreland County. This was the battle that assured the relief of Indian-invested Fort Pitt and that marked the turning point in the break-up of the wide- spread Indian rebellion — misnamed "Pontiac's Conspiracy" — that for a time threatened to wipe out all inroads of white civilization inthe frontier country and when, as one writer has stated, "Anglo-Saxon civilization stood in the presence of the greatest crisis of its history along the frontiers of Pennsylvania." l This paper is the basis of an address delivered <at a meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania on April 10, 1963.
