    Susquehanna Greenway Driving Tour Welcome to the Susquehanna Greenway, a corridor of parks, trails, and river communities stretching over 500 miles along the Susquehanna River. It is Pennsylvania’s longest greenway! The Susquehanna River has been a corridor of commerce to the Chesapeake Bay from the time that Native Americans first inhabited its shores, through the canal and industrial periods, and remains so today. The Susquehanna River Watershed provides half of the fresh water entering the Bay and drinking water to over six million people. This tour will reveal some of the historic, economic, and geographic connections between the Susquehanna River corridor and the Chesapeake Bay for many of the communities we visit. Along the way, we hope you will sense the pride river communities have with their connection to this critical resource. The cultural and natural history of the Susquehanna River is centuries long and the impact of the river is longer still when you consider geological time. This tour will guide you through both and suggest you linger when you want to explore more QR at selected stops, viewpoints, and historic river towns.

    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.

(Ph.D., History) The Emigrant Métis of Kansas: Rethinking the Pioneer Narrative Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Ralph Mann Under the U.S. government’s nineteenth century Indian removal policies, more than ten thousand Eastern Indians, mostly Algonquians from the Great Lakes region, relocated in the 1830s and 1840s beyond the western border of Missouri to what today is the state of Kansas. With them went a number of mixed-race people – the métis, who were born of the fur trade and the interracial unions that it spawned. This dissertation focuses on métis among one emigrant group, the Potawatomi, who removed to a reservation in Kansas that sat directly in the path of the great overland migration to Oregon and California.

  • Chronology of Michigan History 1618-1701
    CHRONOLOGY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY 1618-1701 1618 Etienne Brulé passes through North Channel at the neck of Lake Huron; that same year (or during two following years) he lands at Sault Ste. Marie, probably the first European to look upon the Sault. The Michigan Native American population is approximately 15,000. 1621 Brulé returns, explores the Lake Superior coast, and notes copper deposits. 1634 Jean Nicolet passes through the Straits of Mackinac and travels along Lake Michigan’s northern shore, seeking a route to the Orient. 1641 Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault conduct religious services at the Sault. 1660 Father René Mesnard establishes the first regular mission, held throughout winter at Keweenaw Bay. 1668 Father Jacques Marquette takes over the Sault mission and founds the first permanent settlement on Michigan soil at Sault Ste. Marie. 1669 Louis Jolliet is guided east by way of the Detroit River, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. 1671 Simon François, Sieur de St. Lusson, lands at the Sault, claims vast Great Lakes region, comprising most of western America, for Louis XIV. St. Ignace is founded when Father Marquette builds a mission chapel. First of the military outposts, Fort de Buade (later known as Fort Michilimackinac), is established at St. Ignace. 1673 Jolliet and Marquette travel down the Mississippi River. 1675 Father Marquette dies at Ludington. 1679 The Griffon, the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes, is built by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and lost in a storm on Lake Michigan. ➤ La Salle erects Fort Miami at the mouth of the St.
