Or THE REGIONOF THE OHIO by A.W. Patterson The Allegheny-Ohio River cuts a fertile history through Western Pennsylvania into the Ohio country, setting the stage for a host of colorful characters to come to life to help shape the course of early American history. From the earliest accounts, this region of the Western PA/Ohio Valley area and the history of the Westward movement into it, were home to many eventful, exciting yet bloody incidents. The early discovery and settlement of this country by the French, and their subsequent struggle to retain occupancy of it, set the stage for the most unsettled period of Eastern Frontier history. Competing French and English interests, combined with continuing Indian warfare, lead to a long, bloody and unrelenting series of incidents making the 18th century settlement in the Ohio Valley one of the most exciting and colorful in American history. Written in the first half of the 19th century, History of the Backwoods is the earliest meaningful history written about the Ohio Valley where PA, 18th century VA and Ohio come together. As Patterson states, “Our endeavor has been to present these events, imbodied and arranged, in the order they occur.

  • Bladensburg Prehistoric Background
    Environmental Background and Native American Context for Bladensburg and the Anacostia River Carol A. Ebright (April 2011) Environmental Setting Bladensburg lies along the east bank of the Anacostia River at the confluence of the Northeast Branch and Northwest Branch of this stream. Formerly known as the East Branch of the Potomac River, the Anacostia River is the northernmost tidal tributary of the Potomac River. The Anacostia River has incised a pronounced valley into the Glen Burnie Rolling Uplands, within the embayed section of the Western Shore Coastal Plain physiographic province (Reger and Cleaves 2008). Quaternary and Tertiary stream terraces, and adjoining uplands provided well drained living surfaces for humans during prehistoric and historic times. The uplands rise as much as 300 feet above the water. The Anacostia River drainage system flows southwestward, roughly parallel to the Fall Line, entering the Potomac River on the east side of Washington, within the District of Columbia boundaries (Figure 1). Thin Coastal Plain strata meet the Piedmont bedrock at the Fall Line, approximately at Rock Creek in the District of Columbia, but thicken to more than 1,000 feet on the east side of the Anacostia River (Froelich and Hack 1975). Terraces of Quaternary age are well-developed in the Bladensburg vicinity (Glaser 2003), occurring under Kenilworth Avenue and Baltimore Avenue. The main stem of the Anacostia River lies in the Coastal Plain, but its Northwest Branch headwaters penetrate the inter-fingered boundary of the Piedmont province, and provided ready access to the lithic resources of the heavily metamorphosed interior foothills to the west.

    The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation by Harold Walker Elliott A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip Deloria, Co-Chair, Harvard University Professor Matthew Lassiter, Co-Chair Associate Professor Matthew Countryman Professor Barbra Meek Professor Tiya Miles, Harvard University Harold Walker Elliott [email protected] ORCID iD 0000-0001-5387-3188 © Harold Walker Elliott 2019 DEDICATION To my father and mother, Hal and Lisa Elliott And for Lessie Sweatt McCloud, her ancestors, and her descendants ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of eight years of graduate study and nearly a decade of research, writing, and editing. The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

  • SYNTHESIS 6.1 Prehistoric Occupation of the Bodkin Creek
    Bodkin Creek: A Maritime Archaeological and Historical Study 6.0 RESEARCH AND SURVEY RESULTS: SYNTHESIS 6.1 Prehistoric Occupation of the Bodkin Creek Study Area The Development of the Estuary Bodkin Creek was once a considerably colder and wetter place than it is at present. The region was characterized by open tundra and boreal forests. Water was trapped in ice sheets that still blanketed much of the continent, and sea levels were hundreds of feet below current levels. Major estuary systems such as the Chesapeake Bay had not yet formed. As temperatures rose, the ice sheets retreated and melt waters drove a persistent and enduring rise in sea levels. While large rivers throughout the region probably carried more water than they presently do, a stream such as Bodkin Creek would have been a small upland tributary draining toward the ancestral Susquehanna River, taking run-off to the larger stream located two-to-three miles to the east of the present mouth of the creek. As sea level rose, the mouths of rivers flowing into the ocean were inundated forming bays and extensive estuary systems including the Chesapeake Bay, which formed from the lower reaches of the Susquehanna River. Inland estuaries began to stabilize perhaps as early as 5,000 years ago as temperatures moderated and the rate of sea level rise diminished. Within the next 2,000 years, an essentially modern climate and environment became established. The undisputed record of human occupation of the region began as early as 12,000 years ago, as nomadic Paleo-Indian hunters visited the area.
