  • 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.

  • QUEST for PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett
    QUEST FOR PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett proper history of the Pittsburgh fire department exists, and it is possible that none ever can be produced. The materials Noare missing. Fires, floods and human carelessness have destroyed them. Now and again the need for such a book is expressed by a public official or an antiquarian scholar interested only in the philosophical aspects of the theme. In recent years it has been suggested several times that a fire department history be written by a person familiar with the subject from having, like Shakespeare's dyer, worked in it. The difficulty involved, however, soon was realized to be, in effect, insuperable. It simply is not feasible to make an authentic, truly useful history out of non-existent data. But some primary documents still survive and are available. In 1945 The Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania staged an ex- hibition of relics of the big Pittsburgh fire of April 10, 1845. It ob- served the centennial anniversary of that conflagration not only by displaying souvenirs of the disaster but also by publishing a 40-page pamphlet of carefully garnered facts about it,including a comprehen- sive list of descendants of citizens whose properties were destroyed. Most important, though, was evidence brought together in this booklet to indicate that the 1845 holocaust was of a sudden incidence and of a devastating violence so dynamic that no firefighting organiza- tioncould be effective against it. The story of the disaster that reduced to ashes nearly one thousand buildings and their contents is not an account of what resistance there was to the firebut rather an admission of the sober truth that the flames raged unchecked for seven hours.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
