  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.

  • Wayne S Western Campaign the Wayne-Knpx Correspondence
    Wayne s Western Campaign The Wayne-Knpx Correspondence 1793-1794- 1 HILE the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 erected a political structure for that area lying north and west of the Ohio WRiver and opened it to American settlement, it failed to insure the peaceable building of the New West. British-inspired In- dians opposed the immigration from the eastern states. When efforts by the United States Government to negotiate a peace collapsed, armies were sent out in place of peace commissioners. Until Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers, August 20, 1794, the troops sent westward met a series of defeats. First Harmar and then St. Clair retreated, beaten and broken. Morale on the frontier fell to a low ebb, and it became questionable whether the Northwest could, in fact, become an integral part of the United States. The choice of Major General "Mad Anthony" Wayne as com- mander in chief of the third major attempt to quell Indian resistance proved to be a wise one. Studying the faults in organization and training practiced by his predecessors, he was able to whip (almost literally at times) into shape an army capable of achieving the de- sired result. First at Legion Ville and later at Hobson's Choice, Wayne trained his troops, organized an efficient staff, laid in sup- plies, and prepared for an assault on the Indians waiting in the Maumee Valley. Through the letters presented here, one reads a firsthand, blow-by- blow account of the Wayne Expedition of 1793-1794, from the moment "Mad Anthony" left his Hobson's Choice camp until he jubilantly reported victory at the Maumee Rapids.

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.
