  • THE LIBRARY Indian 'Trade Silver Ornaments Made by Joseph %Jchardson^ Jr
    THE LIBRARY Indian 'Trade Silver Ornaments made by Joseph %jchardson^ Jr. URING the past half-century archaeologists have made great I strides in the study of Indian utensils and ornaments. This D work has been carried on generally throughout the United States, wherever Indian mounds are known, and much valuable information has been obtained pertaining to those Indians who originally lived along the Atlantic seaboard and later moved to the western, north-western and southern sections of the country. Many of the Indian trade silver ornaments thus found in the Michigan and Wisconsin districts, as well as those unearthed in the mounds of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee, seem to have been made by either English or Canadian craftsmen. TKis is quite natural, as the English controlled much of the former territory until after the War of 1812, and their agents were active traders in the southern districts—along with the French—both before and after the Revolutionary War. There was also considerable Indian trade silver, and some intended as gifts, manufactured by silversmiths in New York and Philadel- phia. Little of this has so far come to light, although the best silver- smiths were established in these earlier seats of our national govern- ment. Not only are the pieces themselves very rare, but even the records concerning them seem frequently to have perished. One of the earliest references to such silver is to be found in a letter sent by General Henry Knox, Secretary of War, on February 10, 1782 to Brigadier General Rufus Putnam. This reads as follows: "Besides these goods [Indian supplies] you have delivered to you twenty sets of silver ornaments for such of the principal chiefs as shall come to a pacific agreement, and also nose and ear jewels." On August 16, 1792, Putnam wrote to Knox "and I take with me some of the medals, arm and wrist bands, and other jewels."1 These were un- doubtedly intended as presents.

  • The History of FORT KNOX by Gary Kempf
    The History of FORT KNOX By Gary Kempf Fort Knox, the Home of the Armor and Cavalry - has served as a U.S. military reservation since 1918. During this time it has played a key role in the development of military tactics, doctrine and equipment, and has been an integral part of the training establishment for both the active Army and Reserve Components. Kentucky, the Fort Knox area in particular, had long been a hunting ground for the Indians. Here the various tribes also came in parties to wage war against each other. This area was never a permanent home to any of the numerous tribes. To the south were the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, and the Creeks; to the north and northwest lived the Shawnees, Miamis, and the Wyandots; to the northeast were the Iroquois and others. It appears the Indians came because of the tremendous abundance of game. The great salt licks, in particular those near and around present day Shepherdsville, at one time attracted buffalo by the thousands. The buffalo roads were well worn and served as routes for the Indians as well as for the early White settlers into Kentucky. It was as if the Indians regarded this area of Kentucky, with the Ohio, Salt, and Rolling Fork Rivers and the great salt licks with the accompanying abundance of game and fish, as a huge cornucopia open to all but reserved for no one tribe in particular. McClure (1979), Briggs (1955), Collins (1882), Haycraft (1869/1921), and Ridenour (1929) give excellent accounts of the lives and times of the early settlers of the area.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY. VOL. LVIII. 1934 No. 2 INDIAN SILVER OBNAMENTS By HARROLD E. GILLINGHAM From the arrival of William Penn there was little trouble with the Indians as long as the Quakers were in control of the Government, as was also the case with the New Jersey settlers, who were here before 1682. Writing to the Free Society of Traders in 1683, about the Indians, Penn said "do not abuse them, but let them have justice, and you win them." William Fish- bourne's narrative of 1739 says "The Proprietor's first and principal care was to promote peace with all, accordingly he established friendly correspondence, by way of a treaty, with the Indians, at least twice a year." This was confirmed by the remarks of one of the Indian chiefs at Easton on October 7, 1758, who said: "With him [Onas] we have never had any Difference, he has always settled our Affairs without giving us any Trouble, and to our Satisfaction."1 In the first deed from the Indians to Penn, July 15, 1682, part of the consideration for the land acquired, in addition to goods and wampum, was "Three Hundred Gilders". In the treaty deed with Tamanend of 1683, one of the considerations was "Severall Guilders in Silver". It was not until 1732, in the deed for lands on the 1 Minutes of the Treaty at Easton.
