The early life of the writer of this little volume was spent on the banks of the Tuscarawas Kiver within a stone's throw of the site of the old Indian town of Gnadenhutten, and it was here that an interest in the history of the missions was first awakened. Two old apple trees which had been planted by the Indian converts, and depressions in the earth caused by the "caving in" of the cellars where stood the houses of the inhabitants, outlined what had existed, while two solemn mounds and a tall, grey monu- ment bearing the inscription, "Here triumphed in death ninety Christian Indians, March 8, 1782," told the story of the end.

  • The Commemoration of Colonel Crawford and the Vilification of Simon Girty: How Politicians, Historians, and the Public Manipulate Memory
    THE COMMEMORATION OF COLONEL CRAWFORD AND THE VILIFICATION OF SIMON GIRTY: HOW POLITICIANS, HISTORIANS, AND THE PUBLIC MANIPULATE MEMORY Joshua Catalano A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso ii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor In 1782, Colonel William Crawford led a force of a few hundred soldiers in a campaign to destroy the Indian forces gathered on the Sandusky Plains in present day Ohio. Crawford was captured by an enemy party following a botched offensive and was taken prisoner. After being tried, Crawford was brutally tortured and then burned alive in retaliation for a previous American campaign that slaughtered nearly one hundred peaceful Indians at the Moravian village of Gnadenhutten. This work analyzes the production, dissemination, and continual reinterpretation of the burning of Crawford until the War of 1812 and argues that the memory of the event impacted local, national, and international relations in addition to the reputations of two of its protagonists, William Crawford and Simon Girty. iii For Parker B. Brown iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank both members of my committee, Andrew Schocket and Rebecca Mancuso, for their continuous support, critique, and feedback. Their flexibility and trust allowed me to significantly change the overall direction and composition of this work without sacrificing quality. Ruth Herndon’s encouragement to explore and interrogate the construction and dissemination of historical narratives is evident throughout this work. I am also in debt to Christie Weininger for bringing the story of Colonel Crawford to my attention.

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.

Throughout, the use of „Patriots‟ will always be representative of the colonists in uprising, or Americans. „Loyalists‟ represent those colonists that sided with the British and fought against the Patriots during the war, which is why the American Revolution is sometimes referred to as the United States‟ first civil war. When referring to the general American Indian population of North America, „Indians,‟ „Indigenous Peoples,‟ „Native Americans‟ and „Native Peoples‟ will be used. When describing the political organizations of Native Americans at the time of the Revolution, the word „nation‟ will replace any use of the term „tribe,‟ but „tribe‟ will still be utilized when Native Americans are described in primary sources so that the effectiveness of the Revolutionary War participant‟s voice is unchanged.

    The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers, and the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in Indian Country, 1750-1774 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissah J. Pawlikowski Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Lucy Murphy Dr. Margaret Newell Copyright by Melissah J. Pawlikowski 2014 Abstract “The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers & the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in the Indian Country, 1750-1774” explores the creation of a European & Indian commons in the Ohio Valley as well as an in-depth examination of the network of interethnic communities and a secondary economic system created by refugee Euroamerican, Black, and Indian inhabitants. Six elements of creolization—the fusion of language, symbols, and legal codes; the adoption of material goods; and the exchange of labor and knowledge—resulted in ethnogenesis and a local culture marked by inclusivity, tolerance, and a period of peace. Finally this project details how, in the absence of traditional power brokers, Indians and Europeans created and exchanged geopolitical power between local Indians and Euroamericans as a method of legitimizing authority for their occupation of the Ohio Valley. ii Vita 2005 ...............................................................

  • Name-Giving Among the Delaware Indians
    N arne-Giving among the Delaware Indians1 c. A. WESLAGER HISTORIANS WORKING in the colonial records are frequently mystified, and often confused, by the entries of Delaware Indian personal names found in contemporary deeds, letters, and journals. For example, in the first Indian deed to William Penn, by which lands in Bucks County, Pennsylvania were conveyed to him on July 15, 1682, the following Ind- ians made their marks: Idquahon, Janottowe, Iduqueywon, Sahoppe, Okonickon, Merkekowen, Oreckton, Nannacussey, Shaurwaughon, Swan- pisse, Nahoosey, Tomackhickon, Westkekitt, and Tohawsiz.2 In another citation, under date of July 5, 1697, one finds a reference to "Taminy, Sachimak and Weheeland my Brother and Weheequeckhon alias Andrew, who is to be King after my death, Yaqueekhon alias Nicholas, and Quen- ameckquid alias Charles my Sonns, etc." 3 Subsequent legal instruments list numerous other Delaware Indian names, many unpronounceable, and the frequent aliases add further to the confusion, e.g., Tepakoaset alias Joe; Teshakomen alias Tishekunk; Sassoonan alias Olumapies - just to cite a few from among numerous examples found in seventeenth century Pennsylvania documents. New Jersey was also occupied by Delaware Indians at the time of the arrival of the first Europeans, and in the deed records one finds references during the same period to Peanto alias Enequeto; Oshemahamon alias John Monoockomen alias Mr. Tom Nu- nimi, and many, many others.4 Among the documentary references to the Delaware Indians in the colonial records of the state of Delaware, the following dated June 7, 1659, 1 My frequent references to Mrs. Nora Thompson Dean should make it clear that without her assistance and cooperation, which is gratefully acknowledged, this paper could never have been written.

  • Kuskusky Towns and Early Western Pennsylvania Indian History, 1748-1778
    Kuskusky Towns and Early Western Pennsylvania Indian History, 1748-1778 URING THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, Indians throughout eastern North America came under increasing pressure from D Euro-American colonies. This was especially true for native societies living on the borders of Anglo-America. The growing conflict between Great Britain and France after 1689 threatened not only the peace of their respective American colonies, but also the survival of many Indian nations, from the Iroquois of New York to the Cherokees and Creeks of the southeast, who found themselves living between the imperial giants. Of equal concern to the Delawares and Shawnees of eastern Pennsylvania was the rising tide of colonial settlement that threatened to appropriate and extinguish the natives' political indepen- dence and cultural identities. The history of one Indian townsite in the Beaver River Valley of western Pennsylvania demonstrates how some native peoples met the challenges of a world in which the balance of political and cultural power was shifting dramatically toward colonial societies that contin- ued to expand at the expense of nearby Indians. Located at or near present-day New Castle, Pennsylvania, the original town site, then called Kuskusky, was occupied by Iroquois who, like their Delaware and Shawnee neighbors, brought to western Pennsylvania the social and political threats that frequently accompanied colonial settlements and inter-colonial conflicts. By 1748, the upper Ohio Valley had been transformed into a cockpit of international and intercolonial rivalries that once more threatened the Indians living there. For almost thirty years thereafter, the Indians at Kuskusky and the newer "Kuskuskies" towns were often at the center of the Indians' now familiar struggle for security, a struggle that effectively ended in the mid-1770s when the towns and western Pennsylvania passed from the Indians' world to that of the new United States.
