  • 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.

Rivers of Steel is a heritage tourism initiative that seeks to preserve and celebrate the story of Big Steel and its related industries in southwestern Pennsylvania. More specifically, it weaves together cultural, recreational, and historical resources in a unifying physical framework with an exciting programmatic theme that will bolster the regional economy through tourism and economic development. The Rivers of Steel region, originally encompassing the six counties of Allegheny, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland, was named a Heritage Area by the Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program in April 1996. Late in 1996, Armstrong County was added to the Heritage Area, prompting the need for both historic and ethnographic surveys. Consequently, the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation (SIHC) commissioned this study, funded by the Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program, with matching funds from five local financial institutions: Farmers National Bank, Mellon Bank, Merchants National Bank, Pennwood Savings Bank, and National City Bank.

    GLIMPSES OF THE "HEROIC AGE": WILLIAMDARBY'S LETTERS TO LYMANC. DRAPER J. Gerald Kennedy the final paragraph of "The Wedding," a short story published in Ina Philadelphia monthly in 1836, a writer signing himself "Mark Bancroft" painted this affecting picture of a homestead near Washing- ton, Pennsylvania, which had been abandoned by a pioneer family: "Drawn away by that infatuation which places paradise on the outer verge of civilization,the father, son, and uncle sold their sweet home, and plunged into the deep west, and became utterly lost, long years lost to all my inquiries, and the last time Ipassed the once Osborne cot- tage, Ifound the house disfigured by waste and neglect ;the orchard trees were decayed or dead, and the stumps of the— fine sugar maple shade trees, only stood monuments of barbarism weeds and briars covered the garden." ! Set in the 1790s, the story depicted a period of transition in the Pennsylvania border country, the decade in which the growth of new towns and the cessation of Indian hostilities effectively closed the era of frontier settlement and prompted restless folk like the fictional Osbornes to push farther into the wilderness. Creating a bittersweet conclusion to an otherwise humorous tale, the final lines epitomized the relentlessness of historical change, for the ruined cottage im- plicitly represented a prior attempt to secure happiness "on the outer verge of civilization." The passage expressed a private nostalgia as well,because the author, WilliamDarby (1775-1854) ,had thirty-seven years earlier been caught up in the same "infatuation," leaving his home and family in Washington County to follow the wave of west- ward migration.

  • 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.

Dissertation Director: Jan Lewis This dissertation integrates my own specifying paradigm of “situational frontier” and his- torian David Day’s generalizing paradigm of “supplanting society” to contextualize one historical personage, George Croghan, who advanced the interests of four eighteenth-cen- tury supplanting societies—one nation (Great Britain) and three of its North American colonies (Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia)—in terms of three fields of endeavor, trade, diplomacy, and proprietorship. Croghan was an Irish immigrant who, during his working life on the “situational frontiers” of North America, mastered the intricacies of intercultural trade and diplomacy. His mastery of both fields of endeavor enabled him not only to create advantageous conditions for the governments of the three colonies to claim proprietorship of swaths of Indian land, but also to create advantageous conditions for himself to do likewise. The loci of his and the three colonies’ claims were the “situa- tional frontiers” themselves, the distinct spaces where particular Indians, Europeans, and Euro-Americans converged in particular circumstances and coexisted, sometimes peace- fully and sometimes violently. His mastery of intercultural trade and diplomacy enabled him as well to create advantageous conditions for Great Britain to claim proprietorship in the Old Northwest (present-day Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois) and for himself to do likewise.
