    #213 The Ten Horns of Daniel 7:7 – George Washington and the start of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) / Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), part 1 Key Understanding: Why George Washington was the key person at the start of the French and Indian War. The Lord ordained that George Washington, the man born at Popes Creek Plantation in Virginia, be the key person at the very start of the French and Indian War (1754-1763) / Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), thus fully connecting (a) Daniel 7:7 and the rise of the Ten Horns with (b) Daniel 7:8 and the rise of the Revolutionary War ‘Little Horn’ Fifth Beast. George Washington and the French and Indian War. Here is the story of George Washington and the start of what developed into what Winston Churchill called the “first world war.” [Remember, Virginian George Washington would have been considered to be fighting for Great Britain at that time, for this was a generation before the Revolutionary War.] Territorial rivalries between Britain and France for the Ohio River Valley had grown stronger as the two countries’ settlements expanded. The French claimed the region as theirs, but the Iroquois Indians had begun to permit some British settlements in the region. In 1753, the French, who feared the loss of the Ohio country’s fur trade, tried to strengthen their claim to the area by building a chain of forts along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania, at the eastern end of the Ohio River Valley. The British colony of Virginia also claimed the land along the Allegheny.

  • Environmental History of the Blacklick Valley
    A Valley Reborn: A Brief Environmental History of the Blacklick Valley “The history of my country, like many other American districts, and perhaps that of the nation as a whole, had been the slow exhausting of resources. The men in their coonskin caps, the fierce Scotch-Irish of the frontier, had driven away the larger game. Their sons, who cleared the frontier, had cut the virgin forest, and the next two generations had worn out the arable soil. My country was fed with minerals, but the coal in time would be exhausted, and then? Coal picker, Nanty Glo, 1937. Photo: Ben Shahn - Malcolm Cowley, My Countryside, Then and Now (Harper’s Weekly, January 1929) Native Americans The Native American presence in the Blacklick Valley was limited primarily to members of the Shawnee and Delaware tribes. The area was used for hunting, fishing and trading on nearby Indian paths. The Catawba Trail, a major trading path, crossed Blacklick Creek just outside of the present-day community of Black Lick. Archeological evidence indicates that small native settlements once existed here. Settlements existed at the site of today’s Blacklick Valley Natural Area, on a farm outside of Dilltown and at the juncture of Two Lick and Blacklick Creek (known as Naeskahoni Town). Early Settlement and the ‘Westsylvania Movement’ The first permanent settlers arrived in the area in the 1770s, although white traders passed through here before then. At that time this portion of Indiana County was part of Westmoreland County, while Cambria County was part of Huntingdon and Somerset Counties. The area was included in a petition circulated in 1776 to create a new state to be known as Westsylvania.

Cowan M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2003 B.A., King College, 1999 Committee Chair: Dr. David Stradling Abstract This dissertation examines the growth of tourism as a strategy for downtown renewal in the postwar American city. In the years after World War II, American cities declined precipitously as residents and businesses relocated to rapidly-expanding suburbs. Governmental and corporate leaders, seeking to arrest this decline, embarked upon an ambitious program of physical renewal of downtowns. The postwar “urban crisis” was a boon for the urban tourist industry. Finding early renewal efforts ineffective in stemming the tide of deindustrialization and suburbanization, urban leaders subsidized, with billions of dollars in public finances, the construction of an infrastructure of tourism within American downtowns. By the latter decades of the period, tourist development had moved from a relatively minor strategy for urban renewal to a key measure of urban success.

  • Fort Loudoun
    Fort Loudoun Fort Loudoun, named in honor of John Campbell, the British commander-in-chief in North America and the 4th Earl of Loudoun, was a colonial American fort located on the banks of the Little Tennessee River near the Cherokee “capital” city of Chota (present-day Vonore, Monroe County). It was originally built during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) at the request of the British-allied Cherokee warriors fighting the French-allied Shawnee Indians in the Ohio country as a means of protecting their women and children when the tribe’s warriors were fighting battles far from their homes. Ft. Loudoun was the first British fort of any significance west of the Appalachians. Drawing courtesy of Douglas Henry, TN State Parks (http://www.fortloudoun.com ) Virginians were desperate for the assistance of Cherokee warriors in their war against their French and Shawnee enemies. Reeling from a French and Indian victory over British forces under General Edward Braddock in western Pennsylvania, territory claimed by Virginia, the royal governors of Virginia and South Carolina agreed to construct a fort in the Overhill country as the price for Cherokee enlistment. The fort was to serve as a point of refuge for Cherokee women and children to protect them in the event that the French or French-allied Indians attacked during the absence of the Cherokee warriors, who would be away fighting on the behalf of the British and the colonists. But when the Virginians arrived in June 1756 to construct the fort, the South Carolinians were not present. Unaware that the South Carolinian construction team led by Sergeant William Gibbs was temporarily delayed by the appointment of a new governor, the Virginians pondered their next course.
