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. The motive to the undertaking has been a desire to supply a vacancy in the general history of the country, which may not have failed to be very generally remarked. Much of our western history, it is known, has never been written, while the published portions, to a great degree, have not been collected.” First hand accounts of these bold and colorful men, who penetrated the valley of the Ohio Valley leaving their blood on the footprints of time, march continually through this book. Gist and Girty, Braddock and Washington, Forbes and Armstrong, Pontiac and Cornstalk, Generals Lewis and Wayne, Colonels Crawford and Bouguet, Sam Brady and Bald Eagle, Moravian Missionaries and French explorers, all leap from these pages, leaving their footprints on its vibrant history. Every man was a hero, every man a legend to be. Witness information about Western Pennsylvania/Ohio Valley history never before seen. History of the Backwoods is another in our series of extremely hard to find books on Eastern Frontier history. 163 years after its original printing, it is now back in print for all lovers of Eastern Frontier history to enjoy. Explore the early settlement like never 319pp HB, 1st PUBLISHED IN 1843, W/ 1764 MAP OF THE BACKWOODS COUNTRY 26TH VOLUME IN GREAT PA FRONTIER SERIES … $44.95 CHIEF LOGAN: AN ANTHOLOGY Chief Logan was one of the most enigmatic Indians of his time. The son of a great Iroquoian chief, Jefferson would call him the greatest orator of the 18th century. And yet this once great, kind and gentle friend of whites and spiritual leader of his people would see his life spiral downward; committing him to wander his remaining years on the frontier a tortured and broken man. But I choose to think of Logan in better times. As a youth, Logan certainly enjoyed the view of our beautiful Buffalo Valley of Pennsylvania as much as I do. And if I had lived here 250 years ago, Logan would have been my neighbor. You see, Logan grew up at Shikellamy’s Town along the West Branch of the Susquehanna about 4 miles from where I now sit writing his story. He certainly walked our fields, hunted our woods, and delighted in our sunsets. Surely he loved our little valley. This much we have in common. Yet his world fame would come in his later years. I think a great deal about the man who would become Chief of the Mingoes. And if you, like me, wondered how did he live, what did he do, and where did he go, we have a lot in common. Tracking his many years in PA until his death in the Ohio Country and trying to answer those questions, started my life-long love affair with Logan. But of course we know this famous 18th century Indian better as Chief Logan and this anthology will help you to better understand this complicated man. Our first choice, Logan the Mingo by Franklin B. Sawvel, explains Logan’s life in an easy and understanding way. Our second selection published in 1851 by Brantz Mayer, endeavors to explain the Cresap/Greathouse controversy and how Logan came to lay the blame for his families murders at the hands of Michael Cresap when in fact the Greathouse gang was responsible. This tragic turn of events of led to Logan’s Lament, the most famous words ever spoken by an American Indian. The final part of Chief Logan is the 1997 article I wrote for the Lycoming County Historical Society and uncovers who the real Chief Logan really was. Logan’s last years would be filled with melancholy and sadness and he would be destined to wander the Ohio Frontier a broken and dejected man. His life had come full circle. From his days as a child roaming the Buffalo Valley on the Susquehanna’s West Branch, Logan was reduced at the end to begging for whiskey among the officers at Ft Detroit, somehow comforting his tormented soul in death. Now over two centuries later, we repeated his story. It is a simply story destined to be committed to the fates of the common man. Who is there to mourn for Logan? I do! 224pp Hardback CHIEF LOGAN: An Anthology (3 Books in 1) Includes Logan the Mingo by Franklin B. Sawvel; Tah-Gah-Jute; or Logan and Captain Michael Cresap by Brantz Mayer; and Chief Logan: Friend, Foe or Fiction by Ron Wenning. Limited to 1,000 copies, 25th Book in THE GREAT PENNSYLVANIA FRONTIER SERIES, Outstanding!…….. $34.95 ON THE FRONTIER WITH COLONEL ANTES by Edwin McMinn This truly remarkable man, who played such an important part in both the early history of the West Branch of the Susquehanna Valley was born in 1736, in Montgomery County, PA and came here as young man. He was appointed a justice of the peace; captain of the Eighth Company; commanded a company in Plunkett's regiment in his unfortunate raid on Wyoming, made captain of the First Company, was captain of a company in the Second Battalion of Associators and in May of 1777, he was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Fourth Battalion by the Supreme Executive Council. On the point of a high bluff, just below the mouth of Antes Creek, Col. Antes built a stockade in 1776 that was frequently occupied by settlers for their safety on the frontier. McMinn enlightens the reader with a valuable history of American Colonial frontier settlements in this true story of a Revolutionary War Pennsylvania militia commander and his pioneer family on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. Chapters contain information on Indian traditions, Indian village life, customs and traits of Indian character, sickness, death and treatment on the frontier, home life of the early settlers, early modes of transportation, treaties with the Indians and much, much more. McMinn’s accounts of Indian massacres and the Big Runaway on the Susquehanna's West Branch are priceless. His discussion of the role of women on the frontier and the culture and character of the Pennsylvania frontier people are stories rarely found in these early histories. Of note to genealogists is the Antes family history, included covering the migration of the Antes family with fellow German Moravians to Pennsylvania. You truly need to read this remarkable history to know and understand what life was like in the early 18th century Pennsylvania frontier. This is to give me the total experience of living on the 18th century Pennsylvania frontier. 514pp HB, w/40+ Illustrations. the best book I have ever read about Pennsylvania Frontier Life……………………………………………………………………….$49.95 THE EARLY HISTORY OF LYCOMING COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA by John Meginness The Aboriginal History, Colonial and Revolutionary Periods Through its Settlement and Organization as a County in 1795 by John Meginness “THAT portion of Lycoming County lying north of the Muncy Hills, and westward along the river to the Indian lands above Lycoming Creek, was the theater of many sanguinary conflicts during the Colonial and Revolutionary periods, and in that territory there is scarcely a square mile that was not baptized in fire and blood. Hostile bands of savages frequently descended from the north, killed and scalped scores of settlers, carried many into captivity who were unable to escape, destroyed their improvements, and burned their cabins. It was here that the great panic, or ‘ Big Runaway,’ occurred in 1778, which stands without parallel in the annals of pioneer settlements. ” So wrote John Meginness in 1892 as he wrote the History of Lycoming County. From her earliest Indian history over 10,000 years ago, Lycoming Cty has seen many explorers, Indian leaders, missionaries to the Indians, Indian agents, Pioneers and Indian Fighters come and go across her land. Her mountains still call out their names; Brule, Montour, Weiser, Heckewelder, Brady, Pence, Antes, pictures a great look at life was like on the early Pennsylvania frontier. 205 pp PB w/ color cover……$19.95 ALONG THE BRADDOCK ROAD From Cai-Uc-Tu-Cuc in 1723 to Braddock’s Expedition in 1755 by Will H. Lowdermilk Edited by Ronald R. Wenning. Excerpted from Lowdermilk’s original book titled “History of Cumberland, MD The inhabitants of this region were a part of the Shawnee tribe, a warlike sub-division of the Algonquin group. While the men of the tribe engaged in the pursuit of fish and game, taking time now and then to go on the warpath; their families were left at home to till the soil and grow maize and grass in the rich river bottomland. The earliest white man’s activity begins with the surveying by Colonel Thomas Cresap and the founding of Will’s Town. Later to become Will’s Creek, in honor of Indian Will, the town’s namesake, first appearing on the official 1751 map as Caiuctucuc Creek. The first official government venture into the region and westward into the Pennsylvania frontier came at the request of Governor Dinwiddie to reconnoiter French intentions and activity. To carry out this order he chose a 21-year-old unassuming young man named George Washington. Leaving Williamsburg, VA on the 31st of October, 1753, Washington would hire Christopher Gist, living on Will’s Creek, as his guide. That winter’s journey into Western PA to confront the French would conclude with Washington’s capitulation at Fort Necessity. Washington’s Journal of this expedition is an important part of this book. The subsequent building of Ft Cumberland, the build up of British forces and activity that culminated with that fateful day on July 9, 1755, is the subject of the remainder of this book. Supremely important to this book is the 60 pp ORDERLY BOOKS of Braddock from Feb. 28 to June 17, 1755, taken from the originals in the CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY as he prepares to march to Western PA. 320pp HB 250th ANNIVERSARY EDITION w/ 8 illustrations & maps.

Braddock watched his nearly 1,400 troops cross the Monongahela River for a second time on route to Fort Duquesne to do battle with the French and Indians: there, to once and for all, chase them from the Forks of The Ohio. Little was Gen. Braddock to know that by days end, he would lay mortally wounded, almost 1,000 of his men would either be dead or wounded, and the remnants of his once proud army would be in full retreat to Dunbar’s Camp some 40 miles to the rear. 400 French and Indians, hiding in wait, had laid waste to the once mighty British fighting machine and set into motion the events that would set a continent on fire for the next 8 years. The Braddock expedition and eventual disaster is one of the great mysteries of Colonial America. Was it caused by the poor performance of the British enlisted soldier? Was it caused by British infantry tactics, particularly platoon volley firing, firing at French and Indians hidden behind dense foliage? Was it because of Braddock’s advance position being nearly forty miles ahead of his backup, Colonel Dunbar and 1,000 more men and all the heavy guns? Or was it caused by an arrogant, overbearing, and stubborn General Braddock who refused to listen to practical advise from lowly woodsmen and Indians. The answer to these questions and many more are in this exciting and fact-filled book. No book on the Braddock campaign is equal to this one. Historical references call this book the best account of the Braddock disaster. But not only is this book, by far and away the most factual account, Sargent includes many additional sources of facts about the Braddock campaign that are not found in any other book. So rich in detail is this book that you will read the complete journal of Captain Robert Orme of the Coldstream guard, a right hand man to General Braddock, as well as the journal of Captain Roger Morris, aide de camp with Washington to Gen. Braddock’s campaign. Information included in the 6-part appendix is George Croghan’s statement about the Indians with him in the campaign, and his opinion about Braddock’s attitude toward these men and their fate and what might have been in “that day of our unhappy defeat.” Appendix include Braddock’s instructions for his North American campaign by order of the Duke of Cumberland, the French report of the battle and details of Braddock’s last night in London. 432pp 250TH ANNIVERSARY HB in 6-part appendix & index. 4 double-sided full color and 2 B&W foldout maps (one is a copy of the original 1853 letter from Horatio Gates Jones to the Ambassador to England requesting documents for this book.

Wenning The “purchasing” of Indian land was done through a series of land treaties and eventually resulted in one of the bloodiest periods in Pennsylvania history. This “owning” of PA was a complicated, confusing and time-consuming process in PA history that usually took years to complete. You cannot understand Pennsylvania history completely without understanding this bloody progression from Indian land to settler’s land and its effect on Indian-white relations. As we put together this interesting and colorful history on the “taking or purchasing” of Pennsylvania land from the Indians, we have attempted to shed some light on this process through the pre-revolutionary war history of PA. The first part of, Historical Map of Pennsylvania, was published in 1875 and is the centerpiece of the book. We painstakingly reproduced this 38” x 25” foldout full color map that visually explains the land grab march across PA by the settlers, treaty by treaty, as they methodically took possession of the land. You will be amazed at the brilliance and color we achieved in reproducing this fragile 130-year-old map as you unfold this beautiful map and lay it out on the table. The map has an incredible amount of information and shows the Indian Names of Streams, and Villages, and Paths of Travel; The Sites of Old Forts and Battlefields; The Successive Purchases From The Indians; and The Names and Dates of Counties and Towns. Along with the Historical Map, this book contains 5 additional parts that explain the treaty process. Part 2 contains the “History of Land Titles” from the Annual Report of the Secretary of Pennsylvania Internal Affairs in 1894. Part 3 is from the “Indian Wars of Pennsylvania” published in 1931. Part 4 is the “Conference at Fort Pitt April-May 1768” from the Pennsylvania Colonial Records Vol. IX published in 1852. Part 5 is the “Proceedings at a Treaty Held at Fort Stanwix In the Months of Oct. & Nov. 1768 “from Documents Relative to the State of New York, Vol. VIII, originally published at Albany 1857 and Part 6 is the details of the “Purchase of Fort Stanwix Nov 5, 1768”, from 1852 Pennsylvania Colonial Records, Vol. IX.Now, along with reading the text of the book, the progression of the land treaty process across Pennsylvania will start to make sense to you.

PRITTS Mirror of Olden Time Border Life is truly a rare and extremely hard-to-find book documenting principally the history and early settlement of Pennsylvania and northwestern Virginia and includes many unusual and hard-to-find accounts of these happenings to which are added, personal narratives of captivities, escapes; with numerous sketches of frontier men all compiled from authentic sources. The book includes many personal narratives and sketches of the remarkable adventures of

2 numerous early Frontier men such as Col. James Smith, Sam Brady, the Whetzels, Moses Van Campen, Simon Kenton and more. The border warfare history of Pennsylvania and Virginia, including many scarcely documented skirmishes, raids, and frontier adventures, combined with the almost 300 pages of personal adventures and narratives of important frontiersmen make this book worth reading. As Mr. Pritts says: “From the material in our hands, we might have attempted a general outline of the period we have undertaken to illustrate; we might have given a more connected narrative of the frontier events we wished to preserve; and conclude with a general description of border life and border characters of the period. Such attempts have been often made. But they are usually wanting in interest; they fail to give any vivid impressions of what they describe; and very frequently they are only calculated to mislead. We have chosen rather to give our Incidents of Border Life in detached pieces as we found them, especially where adventurers themselves, or those who were their contemporaries, have related the events of their times, we have greatly preferred preserving their own words. The History of Indian warfare is always fraught with scenes of cruelty and bloodshed; and while the reader of these narratives will be often shocked by incidents of horror and suffering, he will be also not unfrequently called, in their perusal, to admire the heroism and constancy of a noble ancestry, and to appreciate better the value of that state of civilized tranquility which he enjoys, by contrasting it with the hardships and privations of those who have gone before him.” Limited to 1,000 copies Red Hardcover Reprint, 728 Pages, 16 Plates (Illustrations), of this Rare Book.$49.95 …now……. $39.95 CAPTURED BY THE INDIANS: Seldom Told Captivity Story of Horatio Jones & the Benjamin Gilbert FamilyEdited by Ron Wenning When the Oneidas and Tuscaroras sided with the Americans, our Revolution would split the Iroquois Confederacy down the middle once and for all and would become their civil war. The Battle of Oriskany in 1777, as Oneidas clashed with their brothers the Senecas, shattered nearly 300 years of Iroquois unity. Their fateful decision to join the British would become a catastrophe and lead to their eventual demise. The die however was cast. The mental images of the “"merciless Indian Savages” terrorizing the frontier offered in the Declaration of Independence would prevail and a nation conceived in liberty would show little remorse in driving the Indians from their homeland. Mohawk leader Joseph Brant would command his Iroquois warriors raiding the American colonies of New York and Pennsylvania. Along with many British Loyalists, they launched guerilla type raids that would terrorize the frontier lands of PA and NY. Their goal was simple, the destruction of large agricultural areas in order to deny food stocks to Washington's army and deprive the Americans of much needed resources. In the summer of 1779, General John Sullivan was sent by Washington to destroy Iroquois villages as reprisal for the Indian and Loyalist raids on the frontier. General John Sullivan led an American army through their country and succeeded in burning more than forty Iroquoian towns and villages and destroying their crops. Joseph Brant and his Indian war parties, together with Butler's Rangers from Ft. Niagara, attempted to stop the Sullivan campaign. But as a result of the actions of the war and the success of General Sullivan’s campaign of 1779 in particular, many of the Indians were forced to retreat to Ft. Niagara. The fort would become an Indian refugee camp and their fateful decision to join the British would lead to their eventual demise. As a result of the Indian campaign against the Americans during the revolution, many interesting and unusual Indian captivity stories would abound. Yet seldom do Indian captivity stories capture one’s imagination and soul like the two major captivity stories reprinted in this book. In one story the participants chose to stay with the Indians and in the second story the family chose to return to the white man’s ways. The incredible story of The Life of Horatio Jones was written by George H. Harris and taken from Volume VI of the Publications of the Buffalo Histl Society, Buffalo, NY, that was originally published in 1903. His story is remarkable in the fact that so much important information about 18th century Indian life comes from it. Soldier-boy Jones was taken prisoner by the Senecas in the Bedford County area of South-Central Pennsylvania, moved to New York and forced to run the gauntlet. He was adopted by the Senecas, took an Indian wife, and was eventually made a chief. He lived among them for many years, serving as interpreter in many important tribal councils and negotiations with the U.S. government. After Jones’ Indian wife died, he married Indian captive Sarah Whitmore and in 1798, in grateful recognition of his services, the Senecas persuaded New York to cede to Jones a square mile of land, where he would reside. No white man was ever more closely allied with the Senecas; nor ever knew more about Indian life, or ever left his adopted Indian homeland. Jones’ account also includes the stories of the capture of Sarah Whitmore and Jasper Parrish. A Narrative of the Captivity and Sufferings of Benjamin Gilbert and his Family reprinted from an original copy of the book that was printed in London in 1790. It’s the incredible story of the twelve members of the Gilbert family that were captured in 1780 in Eastern Pennsylvania by Indians under the leadership of Roland Montour and led on a toilsome journey northward across the rugged mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania to Ft. Niagara. They separated along the way to live with different Indian groups, eventually to be released in August of 1782 and returned to their homeland in Pennsylvania after 2_ years captivity.

Published in 1898, the book traces the course of Etienne (Stephen) Brule’s 17th century travels, from his arrival in North America with Champlain in 1608, to his untimely death in 1626 when he was killed and eaten by the Indians. We know what 18th century life was like on the Eastern Frontier, this book now gives us rare glimpses into the fascinating early pre-contact Indian history of the East, 150 years before the start of the F & I War. Do you know about the Erie Indian tribe (or the Cat nations), formidable adversaries of the Iroquois who suddenly disappeared from history? It was Brule’s restless spirit and ardent love of adventure that prompted him to request permission from Champlain to explore interior New York and Pennsylvania. No white man had preceded him into that region and the date of that particular journey was 1615—a little over eight years after the settlement of Jamestown and six years after the first white man ascended the Hudson. Read about the tobacco farmers to the west of the Iroquois called the Neutral Nation. Learn the basis for the Iroquois hatred of the French. Sail down the Susquehanna River past the “palisaded forts” of the Susqhehannocks into the Chesapeake Bay through Brule’s journal in the early 1600’s and record his time here in North America until his untimely death at the hands of the Huron who killed and ate him. This is a book unlike any other you will ever read about this early 17th century time period because there are no others. We need to have a sense about the pre-contact period in order to understand the roots of the F & I War in North America and this is the only real book to give us this understanding. The principal reason why Brule’s visits, to various unexplored regions of the East have found so few historians referring to him are simply because of the lack of early information available. Butterfield simply spent the time collecting the available data and published it.

Originally published in 1846, these 2 volumes contain one of the most significant collections of documents that pertain to the expansion, settlement and Indian wars on the frontier land that would become Pennsylvania and Ohio. Craig was peculiarly fitted for such an undertaking. Born in a redoubt built by Colonel Bouquet in 1764, his life was spent within a rifle-shot of the place of his birth. These scare first hand accounts and primary material concerning the settlement of Western Pennsylvania and Ohio and military campaigns (Indian Wars) represent a lifetime of work by Craig and is considered to be an unrivaled collection of Western Pennsylvania/Ohio Valley important original source material. The Olden Times was originally published as a monthly magazine in 1846-1847 with 24 numbers issued. These monthly publications resulted in enough material to be bound into two volumes, all together some eleven hundred pages, containing many documents of both rare and of great interest. Volume 1 contains aboriginal history, information and letters written by prominent people on the Delaware, Shawnee, Iroquois, and their Indian traditions and displacement as their land is settled by the whites. Washington’s “Journal of his first Campaign in 1753”, “Stobo’s Letters,” Colonel Armstrong’s “Taking of Kittanning,” Christian Posts, “Two Journals of Missions to the Shawnees,” “Colonel Bouquet’s Expedition Against the Ohio Indians,” “Journals of George Croghan,” and Washington’s “Journal of a Tour to the Ohio in 1770” are but other chapters in Volume 1. Volume 2 contains Ormby’s “Narratives of Campaigns of Colonel Forbes and Bouquet,” “History of Dunmore’s War,” “History of Chief Logan’s Speech,” Lyon’s “Narrative of Captivity,” and “Colonel Conolly’s Plot and Imprisionment.” Translations of the celebrated and rare work upon Washington’s Campaign Against the French Indians of the Ohio, printed by the French Government, entitled Memoire Precis des Faits, covering over 130 pages; “Colonel Broadhead’s Expedition,” Arthur Lee’s “Journal of a Mission to the Indians in 1758,” and Journal of General Butler for the same purpose, and Letters upon the Iroquois occupying more than 100 pages. The destruction of Hanna’s Town, and the chapters on the Treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1784, Regulations of Prices and Transactions at Ft. Pitt, and events leading up to the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 are extremely informative. Both volumes are indexed and their value is priceless as many of these documents are locked away in private collections or in historical society vaults.

Here it was that the legions of France buried their leaden plates, erected their forts and staked out a claim to the continent of North America. It was also here that the red-coated agents of England resisted the French bid for empire. Across this trackless wilderness there trekked as the agent of Virginia, to warn the French from the Ohio Valley, none other than the young George Washington. This journey to Fort Le Beouf was his first public service and the launching of a career culminating with his services in the founding of our republic. All of these things and many more of equal importance took place in Northwestern Pennsylvania. The deficiency of Pennsylvania historical literature and research, however, regarding these important events in such a critical time period in our early history in this section of Pennsylvania had long been recognized. With all of this in mind, the Pennsylvania Historical Commission, under the guidance of noted historians Stevens and Kent, embarked upon sponsorship of a WPA project to carry on a program of archeological and historical research in NW PA. They spearheaded the project of assembling all the new materials gathered for the Wilderness Chronicles. Drawing upon archival work, it keys on documents and correspondence relating primarily to the exciting events and military actions between Indians, British, French and Provincial forces in the mid 1700’s.Wilderness Chronicles is a selection of primary sources describing these events and gives much credible evidence on the region’s connection to the making of America. Originally published in 1941, not as a history of the region but rather a collection of raw materials from which the history was written. Wilderness Chronicles is still today, 60 years after its original publication, the definitive source of primary material from this Upper Ohio Valley wilderness that a new republic had its roots and a new nation was founded. One of the most complete collections of key documents and correspondence relating to the F & I & Pontiac’s War available to the public.

Shoemaker “The killing of 1,000 wild stags in Pennsylvania in 1912 established a high water mark for the noble sport in this State in recent years. Probably fifty thousand hunters, more or less skilled, participated in the chase, a veritable army of annihilation.” So wrote Henry W. Shoemaker, at the beginning of his classic, Pennsylvania Deer and Their Horns. Originally published in 1915, Mr. Shoemaker’s unforgettable book witnessed the turning point of events in Pennsylvania’s long deer management history. Deer were so scarce during the early 20th century that someone could spend a week hunting in the mountains of Pennsylvania and never see a deer, let alone come across many if any deer tracks. Deer habitat was poor and food was scarce. Beginning with the emergence of law enforcement protection, coupled with the introduction of new scientific game management techniques, the 20th century would usher in an era of renewed optimism and eventually lead to recovery in Pennsylvania deer numbers. Pennsylvania Deer and Their Horns is much more than just a book about the early whitetail years of Pennsylvania, it is also Shoemaker’s attempt to introduce Pennsylvania hunters to the other antlered animals whose ancestors have come and gone in Penn’s Woods. With over 50 great old hunting pictures in Pennsylvania Deer and Their Horns, Shoemaker is a master at mixing the folklore, history, and heritage of deer hunting in PA while describing those quaint pictures of hunts from our past. Shoemaker’s enjoyable walk across PA hunting frontier history and culture tells an exciting story. An artist with his pen as he paints descriptions of men, deer hunting, and places in time that have come and gone. But today, the 21st century deer habitat and deer hunting across Pennsylvania is changing. Now as we focus on our future, a new edition of this book and Part II of Pennsylvania Deer and Their Horns brings together noted experts in the fields of nutrition, deer science, and deer management to give us hope and direction on where to look for answers to help take our deer management into the 21st century. Part II of PA Deer is not meant to be a how-to book on deer management but was written to wet your appetite on the part you can play in making Pennsylvania deer hunting better 208pp PB w/Jack Paluh’S original artwork color cover and new 30 page DEER edition ………………..…………………………………..$9.95 DIPLOMACY AND INDIAN GIFTS By Wilbur R. Jacobs The French-English Rivalry For Indian Loyalties During the French and Indian War Years 1748-1763

3 It seems only once in a lifetime that a book comes along that really unlocks many of the mysteries of a subject you have been studying for as long as you can remember. Diplomacy and Indian Gifts is just such a book! From the beginning, I was always intrigued by the old Indian custom of giving and receiving gifts and how this practice was used both for and against them! During the course of the F & I War years, thousands of pounds sterling was expended by both the French and the British in their diplomatic competition to buy Indian friendship and loyalty through gift giving. Indian gifts and their givers indeed made diplomatic history. To say diplomacy and Indian gifts was a high stakes game would not do justice to everything that was really involved. It was a war for empire, but also was a war for profit, and the Indians were pawns to be bought by whatever means necessary to affect the outcome. These diplomatic missions along with this showering of gifts helped decide the war that inspired a melting pot of people to form a nation. The story makes fascinating reading and Dr. Jacob’s book is the final authority. This history of Indian gifts and how it affected the outcome of the early history of our country was hitherto an unexplored area in the records of the Colonial westward movement and Dr. Jacobs spent 7 years in historically sleuthing through old manuscripts, journals and various other printed material in putting together this magnificent record of how the Indians were paid off and how the “West was won.” Describing the various gifts like vermilion war paint, liquor and trinkets, and even guns for which young warriors would “tear the heart out of a trader”, the author gives page after page of specific examples of how these coveted treasures were used to buy friendship and loyalty. This never before published book is an exciting, insightful and informative collection of information about the part Indian gifts played in changing the course of American history.

WALLACE Conrad Weiser, Pennsylvania’s Indian ambassador, was one of the world’s great Jack-of-all trades. Born in Germany, he grew up in the Hudson and Mohawk valleys of New York and as a youth lived several years in a Mohawk village where he learned the language. By the 1720’s he had moved with his family to Pennsylvania where James Logan regularly began to employ him as an agent and interpreter. Trader, colonel in the F&I War, first President judge of Berks county and founder of Reading PA, a monk at the Ephrata Cloisters, pillar of the Lutheran Church, statesman, linguist, diplomat, woodsman were just a part of a long, distinguished career,but it was his work as an Indian agent that made his fame eternal. His career introduces us to the whole colonial scene. Everyone knew him. Governors, churchman, and Indian chiefs all relied on his advise. The Iroquois named him Tarachiawagon, “He Who Holds The Heavens.” He was at home on Society Hill in Philadelphia as well as at John Harris’ Ferry on the Western Frontier. He knew the Shamokin Trail like a village main street and visited all distant Indian towns from Onandaga to Logstown. He went everywhere, saw everything and recorded in his journals the most important information of his day. He was as vital to the frontier provincial governments of the new colonies as George Washington was to Revolutionary War. Yet, through all the excitement of his public life, he remained a common man, who above all else, always longed for his wife, children, and the Tulpehocken home to which he came back to finally die. 664pp BURGUNDY HB w/ notes (some in original German text) from his journals on the Eastern Woodland Indians make this book one of the most important books of it time.

THE OHIO COMPANY OF VIRGINIA AND THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT 1748-1792 by Kenneth P. Bailey No study of the French & Indian War can be complete without the study of the principal land companies competing for land during the great land rush of the mid 18th century of which the Ohio Company was by far the largest. Organized in 1748 by a group of influential men, most of whom were Virginians. The Ohio Company was founded primarily with the purpose of securing a share of the Indian trade west of the Alleghenies, a trade that primarily up to that point, had been mainly in the hands of Pennsylvanians and the French. The company also planned to construct forts and roads, make settlements, and develop this country. But a study of the Ohio Company is more than a study of trade and land schemes, it is a study of exploration of a new frontier and its Indian policy and problems, of colonial jealousy and conflict, and of traders and trader problems. All taking place during the struggle between the French & English for control of North America and of the on going boundary disputes between VA and PA. The story of The Ohio Company is of major importance in the story of colonial advancement into the Indian lands of Western PA and the Ohio country. The history of the Ohio Company divides itself into 4 main periods. The first period begins in 1748 with its formation and organization, primarily by Virginians, and includes exploration of the Ohio Country by Gist. The second phase covers roughly the years of the French and Indian War in North America and the ruination of much of the property of the company. The third phase begins and ends with the legal avenues pursued by the Ohio Company to reclaim its original land titles put on hold by the Proclamation of 1763 at the end of the F&I War. The final phase ends with The Ohio Company disbanding in dismal failure. Originally published in 1939. The story of the F&I War and the interests of The Ohio Company of Virginia are indelibly intertwined. 374pp HB w/5 maps, 20pp biblio, 682 footnotes and index.

Frank Eshleman Originally published in 1908 and titled Annals of the Susquehannocks and Other Lancaster County, PA Indians 1500-1763, this book is a treasure house on the Indian history of PA. From a personal letter we have in our possession, written by the author to a friend in 1911, Eshleman states that he gathered his facts about the 250 years of Indian history of Central and Eastern PA from nearly 300 different books and sources. This scholarly collection of PA Indian history in general and the Susquehannocks in particular is unparalleled.The Susquehannocks lived mainly on the Susquehanna River and its tributaries from the north end of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland up the river into southern New York. The number of Susquehannocks is uncertain, but the best guess is that they numbered somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500 at their peak in the 1600’s and their rapid decline into the 1700’s culminated with the massacre of the last 20 members by the Paxtang Boys at the jail in Lancaster, PA. Although almost completely forgotten today, the Susquehannock were once one of the most formidable tribes in the mid-Atlantic region. At the time of first European contact, they dominated the Susquehanna and Potomac River valley areas but little was known about them as they lived inland far from the coast. And by the late 1600’s, these once noble and heroic Indians had their number so decimated by disease from the white man and wars with their bitter enemies the Iroquois, that their numbers were probably no more than 300-400. They must have been impressive physical specimens and their constant warfare with the Iroquoian speaking tribes in the region made these people superior warriors. Using the rivers of the mid-Atlantic region as their highway, they routinely attacked the Delaware, Nanticoke, Conoy and Powhatans living on their borders. Their large forts (villages) afforded them great protection as they dominated the Pennsylvania area in 1500 and 1600’s and evidence of their presence in the Susquehanna Valley will remain on the rocks and in caves until the end of time. This exhaustive and interesting series of historical papers describing the PA Indians prior to and during the early days of the white man populating Pennsylvania gives the reader a thorough and complete year by year analysis of Indian activity in the Commonwealth prior to the forming of the United States. 416pp PB w/ color cover and index.

He was an Indian trader and diplomat, land speculator and in his earliest days was a soldier of fortune, enrolling in the militia to fight the French and Indians. His life covered a wide range of early developments on the frontier. He was in an official capacity at the important councils at Logstown in 1752 and Easton in 1757. He was with General John Forbes, Colonel Bouquet, and Major Washington as they blazed their way through the Western Pennsylvania wilderness enroute to chasing the French from the Forks of the Ohio. He was in on the founding of Pittsburgh as “The Gateway to the West.” He partnered with George Croghan and the journals of his trips with Andrew Montour into the Ohio Country are some of the most important documents we have on the early history of the westward movement. Statesman, entrepreneur, adventurer, and just plain nomad are but just a few of the ways to sum up the life and times of this 18th century figure. All in all, William Trent was one of the major figures in early colonial history. His career was full of pulsing romances, forest diplomacy, and colonial politics. Yet Slick’s clear and readable style of Trent’s biography, while painted against his graphic presentation of this exciting Eastern Frontier History, will only pique your interest to read further about this thrilling period of American history. You will read this book again and again, wishing that you too could go on just one more adventure with Trent westward across the Alleghenies to the Forks of the Ohio and into the Ohio country. Chapters in this Trent biography include his Ancestry and Early Activities, In Service to Virginia, Financial Troubles, Pennsylvania and Royal Service, Assistant Deputy Indian Agent and Trader at Fort Pitt 1759-1761, Life Around Fort Pitt 1762-63, The Seige of Fort Pitt 1763, and Trader’s Losses and Land Speculation 200 page Burgundy Hardback Edition… limited to 1,000 Hardback copies……………….… $29.95 GEORGE CROGHAN AND THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT 1741-1782 by Albert Volwiler Students of 18th century Indian history are certainly familiar with Braddock, Pontiac, Weiser, and Sir William Johnson, but in George Croghan, we have perhaps the most fascinating and influential of the great American frontiersmen on the early westward movement across the Alleghenies into the Ohio country. Coming to Pennsylvania in 1741 during the Irish potato famine, Croghan entered the Indian trade and soon became the colony’s most prominent trader. No man led a more adventurous life in colonial America. His name soon became legendary on the western frontier and to advance his Indian business, Croghan promoted an Indian uprising against the French. But at the same time he became a superlative peacemaker, and in the period of the French and Indian War, Croghan’s ability to understand and influence the Indians was unsurpassed. Failing in Indian trade, Croghan acted as George Washington’s Indian agent on his Fort Necessity campaign of 1754 and later served with and survived Braddock’s fateful battle in 1755 . 1756 saw Croghan organize the defenses of Pennsylvania’s western border, but left the colony’s service to become deputy under Sir William Johnson, superintendent of the Six nations. He witnessed the desperate charge of the Black Watch at Ticonderoga and marched with Forbes to capture Fort duQuesne. He soothed the French leaning Indians at Detroit so Roger’s Rangers could take over the fort and negotiated treaties with Teedyuscung and hundreds of Indian chiefs and pacified Chief Pontiac. Yet this tobacco chewing, heavy drinking, unschooled, high living trader at times was much despised. But all it took was the sound of his heavy Irish brogue and hardy laugh that could put even the most suspicious at ease and along with his charm, wit and humor help make him an idol on the frontier. But Croghan’s mind was constantly stirred by visions of westward colonization and he disastrously promoted this idea of western land speculation to prominent men of the day. Unfortunately, the men who trusted Croghan generally lost money and most came to distrust him. During the Rev War both America and Britian treated him as a traitor and in 1782 he died in Philadelphia a tired and penniless man. Here we are treated to such an outstanding peak into the world of the early Pennsylvania trader’s westward movement accompanying him on the roads he traveled. 368pp HB in Forest Green.

Much has been written about the Delaware or Lenape’ Indians history, but little has been done to give readers of history a basic understanding about keys to pronouncing the oldest of Algonquin languages. So significant is the lasting memory of the early Delaware language on Pennsylvania that many of our mountains, valleys, streams, and towns still carry their Indian given names and hopefully will until the end of time. It was this love for the land of their fathers that caused the Delaware to fight to the death for their home and hunting grounds. This is their story. No Indian tribe is more closely aligned with Pennsylvania than the most historic of the Algonquin tribes, the Delaware or Lenape’ Indians. From the time of William Penn through the F& I War, the Delaware were a part of the events of everyday that were to shape this land called Pennsylvania. In the 17th century, early white explorers and settlers encountered a tribe of Indians along the Delaware River and its tributaries that called themselves Lenape or the “original people.” After the English arrived, the Lenape were given a new name, Delaware Indians. Derived from the 3rd Lord de la Warr, Sir Thomas West, newly appointed governor of the English Colonies at Jamestown in 1610, applied to the people living on the shores of “de la Warr Bay” and the banks of the river emptying into this body of water. Scott, a trained linguist, has taken on the task of providing insight into the Delaware language of the 18th century in a very logical and easy to use way. With significant use of the 18th century journals of Moravian missionaries John Heckewelder and David Zeisberger, who together spent over 120 years among the

4 Delawares of the East, Scott was able to bring together information that can help the novice pronounce and read the Delaware language used by these 18th century missionaries. Complete with a brief history, pronunciation guide, and grammatical key to using basic Delaware language, this book includes a 3,000-word vocabulary list, and a step-by-step guide to the rules of making this Delaware language guide fun and easy to use. Not since the days of Heckewelder and Zeisberger over 200 years ago, has someone taken on this gigantic task of creating a user friendly guide to understanding the basics of the lost art of the Delaware language.

Hunter Seldom does a book come along with such appeal and interest. With Pennsylvania’s Provincial Quaker controlled pacifist government slow to react to the mounting tension from Indian attacks and the on going F&I War, pressure was growing from the frontier settler’s for protection on PA’s western borders. Unwillingly, to these constant complaints, PA began an extensive program of military action culminating in the building of forts on its frontier. By 1756 more than a dozen forts garrisoned by paid PA troops marked for the first time a boundary between frontier settlements and a hostile wilderness. But this book is about more than the frontier forts built by PA! It is about all the frontier forts occupying PA’s soil. It’s about the French invasion, their forts and claims to PA. It’s about Virginia and the Ohio Company and the 3 forts erected on PA soil in Virginia’s unsuccessful opposition to this French invasion into the Ohio Valley. It’s about the British takeover of fort building and frontier protection in PA in the later half of 1750’s. For the period covered by this book, each fort is allotted a separate section, and where necessary the account is carried beyond the year 1758 in order to round out the story. Additionally, the histories of some forts as previously known must be corrected and amplified in the light of new information. Although much of the interest in the frontier forts, especially those built by Pennsylvania, has been regional or local, these forts were essential parts of organized and inclusive military undertakings and cannot therefore be dealt with either adequately or accurately without some knowledge of over-all military systems and the current political atmosphere of the time. Similarly, this book includes some background of the Indians and their place in the regional history of the 1750’s. Even during the F&I War, when opposing Europeans built forts and fought battles, it was the Indian raids and in later years Indian warfare that became a familiar and characteristic aspect of frontier life. Together, these erected monuments to our early history have long held a strong historical and romantic appeal to our shared sense of history. On the historical scene, these frontier forts stand as relics marking the close of the day of unarmed colonists and friendly Indians and the beginning of an era of frontier conflicts and troubled Indian relations. It is to these strong-willed adventurers who presided over this era of frontier conflict, troubled Indian relations, and our eventual independence that this book is dedicated. 596 page Blue HB Edition Limited to 2,000 copies………………………………………………………………………………….… $49.95 EARLY HISTORY OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA OF THE WEST AND WESTERN EXPEDITIONS by I.D.

The product of one of the most critical periods in the history of the American Indians, Tecumseh never had an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership of Indians in peacetime. From birth to death, Tecumseh was involved in conflict and war. A brilliant orator, warrior and leader, he was a distinguished patriot of his people. Learned and wise, he was noted, even among his white enemies, for his integrity and humanity. He was a Shawnee, yet as in war and in life, he considered himself first to be an Indian. He fought to give all his red brothers a national rather than tribal consciousness and to unite them in defense of a common homeland, where they could live under their own laws and leaders. Born in 1768 on the bluffs above Ohio’s Mad River, northeast of present day Dayton; his mother and father’s birthplace in the deep South, reflected the long, nomadic history of this wandering, warlike Algonquian-speaking people, the Shawnee. Written in 1841 and published in 1855, Drake’s book uses original sources interviewing the people who knew Tecumseh. The first Tecumseh biography and still the best.

BRINTON One can not begin to understand the Indian history of the Eastern Frontier during the 17th and 18th century without first knowing the history of the dominant tribe of Pennsylvania during this time period, the Lenape or Delaware Indians. The story of this tribe is so indelibly intertwined with the major events of the day that to understand the complexities of Indian-Indian and Indian-White relationships is to know the Lenape. From William Penn and The Walking Purchase to 18th century Indian wars that set the Pennsylvania frontier ablaze, the Lenape dominated their days in Penn’s Woods. And so significant is the lasting memory of these people on Pennsylvania that many of our mountains, valleys and streams still carry their Indian given names and will until the end of time. It was this love for the land of their fathers that caused the Lenape to fight to the death for their home and hunting grounds. It is about a people and their will to stay free. This is their story. Brinton was one of the 19th century’s foremost students of American Indian history and his work on the Lenape and their ancient tribal migration story, The Walum Olum, is considered a classical piece of study. This very scarce and hard to find book was published in 1885, and because of its historical significance, is now republished for the serious students of Eastern Frontier Indian history. It begins by discussing the history of the other Algonkin and Iroquois tribes of the East, then gets into the meat of the book with major chapters on Lenape history, their literature and language, myths and traditions, and the Walum Olum, the ancient migration story of the Delaware; Brinton’s most valuable contribution to our understanding of Lenape history.

HALE SIPE The Indian Chiefs of Pennsylvania, is a factual account of the Indian history of America’s Eastern Frontier and the contributions made by many outstanding chiefs in shaping our history. Originally published in 1927, this 569 page book is one of the classics on Eastern Frontier Indian history. From the formation of the Iroquois confederation in 1570 through Cornplanter’s death in 1836, Sipe discusses the tribes that inhabited Pennsylvania and how their forced migration westward across the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania into the Ohio country lit the fires that would keep the western frontier ablaze for the next forty years. As you read Indian Chiefs, you begin to know and understand the motivation the Indians had in trying to hold onto their native land and the conflicts that would result. Pennsylvania was the gateway to the west through which all the major players of the Indian wars would pass: Indian traders, frontiersmen, and pioneer families.

HALE SIPE The Indian Wars of Pennsylvania, is the most complete and documented book on the history of the Indian wars on America’s Eastern Frontier. Originally published in 1929 and revised in 1931, Indian Wars is based primarily on the Pennsylvania Archives and Colonial Records. With background chapters on Indian religion, character and the Indian tribes of Pennsylvania, Sipe discusses chapter by chapter the 40 years of “Indian Wars” from 1755 to 1795. Beginning with the French &Indian War and the causes that led up to it, Sipe covers all Indian uprisings and tragedies, Pontiac’s War, Lord Dunmore’s War, and concludes with 7 chapters on the Indian influence on the Revolutionary War. With Pennsylvania as keystone of the colonies and gateway to the west, it is indeed appropriate that Sipe called the “Indian Wars” of the Eastern Frontier the Indian Wars of Pennsylvania. All of the major wars of this time period (1755-1795) had their roots in Pennsylvania history and most military leaders involved in those Indian Wars and a majority of their fighting men were from Pennsylvania.

Indian Villages is the only major book that traces back Indian names and places for their correct form, origin and history. These 290 pages are filled with the most incredible collection of information ever assembled on the Indian place names of Pennsylvania. In researching his book, Mr. Donehoo, not only went over every available source of printed material about place names in Pennsylvania, but also walked over nearly every Indian trail, from the Delaware to the Ohio, using every trader’s journal and maps as his guide. Each Indian name comes complete with historical notes, and as you read, you get a sense about each place; a feeling of walking with the author through each early village, along every river and stream and across the mountains of Pennsylvania back into time. Lists of authorities used is given with each name and a general bibliography follows at the conclusion of the work. Certainly, Heckewelder, Zeisberger, Post, Gist, Croghan, Weiser and other early explorers would be very proud.

Hulbert & William Nathaniel Schwarze Rarely does a book come along that has the power to expand one’s knowledge of the culture and history of the Indians of America’s Eastern Frontier as does this book. Zeisberger’s story begins on a warm July night in 1726 when a man his wife and son fled from their home in Austrian Moravia toward the mountain of Saxony. They took nothing except a dream of a new life in a free land far across the Atlantic. Fast-forward ten years. Young David is now in Bethlehem, PA studying with the Moravian missionaries and scholars. It is here that David first became interested in studying the Indian languages of the New World and showed proficiency to learn these dialects. Thus began his more than 60-year venture into the wilderness. Many interesting stories of Indian history, manners and customs of everyday life in the Indian villages come to light through the pages of this book. This exceptional and intimate knowledge of the inner life of these first Americans is credited to Zeisberger and found nowhere else in the early literature. His stories of Indian medicinal remedies- firsthand details of their ceremonies, food, culture and beliefs-speak volumes to us and for this we are eternally grateful. Lastly, the scientific knowledge gained from these writings is second to none and comes from the fact that he ably depicts conditions before the white settlers moved westward. And because he knew the Indian intimately, his precious glimpses, both backwards and forward, are both rare and accurate. Time surely has changed the flora and fauna since Zeisberger’s writings but its intrinsic value is because his accounts are among the only reliable record of this region before such marked changes occurred. The best book we have on how the Indians lived their everyday life. 190pp PB with Original Artwork Cover……………….………..$19.95 THIRTY THOUSAND MILES WITH JOHN HECKEWELDER TRAVELS AMONG THE INDIANS OF PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO,NEW YORK DURING THE 18TH CENTURY Edited By PAUL A.W.WALLACE This collection of Heckewelder materials, gathered by one of America’s great writer/historians, Paul Wallace, follows America’s most observant early traveler, John Heckewelder through the Eastern woods as he recorded the most significant knowledge we have today on the Indian life and pioneer history of our Eastern frontier.

5 He writes: “The sure way to obtain ideas, and a true knowledge of the characters, customs, manners, etc., of the Indians, and to learn their history, is to dwell among them for some time, and having acquired their language, the information wished for will be obtained in the common way; that is, by paying attention to their discourses with each other on different subjects, and occasionally asking them questions; always watching for the proper opportunity, when they do not suspect your motives, and are disposed to be free and open with you.” From 1754 to 1813, Heckewelder crossed the Allegheny Mountains 30 times and his travels and adventures along the Indian trails of Western PA into the “Ohio Country” are interwoven with the movements of the Moravian Indian missions. He lived among the Indians for almost 60 years, learning their language, sharing their activities, recording clearly and vividly what he saw and heard. In these pages we meet many legendary characters like Daniel Boone, Simon Girty and travel to the early settlements of Albany, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and west to Vincennes and Louisville. The scenes and the people come alive. We shall not soon forget the “dismal music” of his horse’s hooves striking bones and skulls on Braddock’s lost field of battle, the howling of wolves at night at Edmund’s swamp, the man who was careless with a candle in the gunpowder shed, and the sheer joy of Indian captives being returned. Wallace gathered together all journals from various repositories and translated those among them that were still in German (as a writer Heckewelder was bilingual). Taking many incidents described in Heckewelder’s two books-- his History and his Narratives of the Missions of the United Brethren-- he weaves them together to help explain this mystery he called the “Ohio country and our Western border.” 510pp HB Limited Edition. w/ 15”x23” foldout map (front & back) of his travels across Eastern Frontier………………………….…. $49.95 LOUDON’S INDIAN NARRATIVES BY ARCHIBALD LOUDON Perhaps no book in the annals of early American history has thrilled, informed and held captive, the reader’s imagination than this book. Originally printed in 2 volumes in 1808 and 1811, Indian Narratives has all but disappeared from the libraries of modern day historians. Because of this book’s scarcity it is among the highest priced, hardest to find books printed during the 19th century. Without a doubt, this is the most famous book on Indian warfare. It is a work of extreme rarity, contains some narratives, and is one of the most desirable works of its class.” This collection of Indian captivity stories, many in the “first person”, contain some of the most fascinating frontier stories ever told and found nowhere else. Of particular interest is the 114pp saga of Col. James Smith’s 5 year captivity among the Ohio Indians. Over 25 stories describe many Indian customs and manners including their games, meals, clothes, fishing methods, dances, songs, dwellings, marriages and funerals, titles, and medicines may, however, be the most valuable. Methods of crossing deep rivers, Indian musical instruments, details how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together, as well as the explanation of why Indians mount a horse on the off side and instances of Indian fortitude at death, are but a few of revealed interesting facets of everyday Indian life. This book would not be complete without the chapters describing the infamous Indian tortures. With his race and culture at stake, the Indian became the scourge of the frontier.

Of the authors, two (Weiser and Croghan) were government Indian agents; one (Post) was a Moravian missionary; and the other (Morris) was a British army officer. Their experiences are as varied as their avocations and recorded travel into Indian country during the early settlement period. Weiser’s journal records the first official journey into the Indian country west of the Alleghenies in the summer of 1748. The 15 years of journals of George Croghan are an epitome of the Indian history of the time. Journals of Post cover the months of July- Sept, 1758, and Oct. 1758- Jan., 1759 Captain Morris accompanied Bradstreet(1764) on his expedition to Detroit and was arrested and tortured at the Ottawa village at Maumee Rapids 328pp HB Originally Published in 1904 Vol I in EARLY WESTERN TRAVEL SERIES 2nd Printing …………………………….$49.95 A PENNSYLVANIA BISON HUNT By Henry W. Shoemaker “I hear the tramp of the bison herds, the shouts of the victorious hunters, or maybe the blood-curdling cry of the panther. Then my mind goes back still further, and I hear my father tell how his father took part in the hunting of the last herds of bison in old Pennsylvania, of Indian massacres, of pioneer hardships and I feel proud to be a scion of such sturdy stock. Yes, indeed, I have much to be thankful for in this grand world; I have lived, I have struggled, I have harmed no one, in my advanced age I am at peace, I am content.” Mixing folklore, history, and the romanticism associated with our PA frontier-hunting heritage as he retells the buffaloes’ history on the PA frontier and it’s an exciting story. So on that cold and windy night when the clouds are racing past the full moon, you will want to read Bison Hunt! As the panther screams and the wolves’ howl, you will feel the earth shake as the buffalo herd goes running by. 64pp PB, w/many old photos……………………………………………………………………$8.95 TE-A-O-GA ANNALS OF A VALLEY: Taken Fom Old Tioga Point and Early Athens By Elsie Murray A strategic spot since the first human foot trod its trails, the Tioga (Te-a-o-ga) Valley has served as campsite and highway for centuries, moving Indians, traders, adventurers, and soldiers toward the Empire State to the north or the vast Pennsylvania frontier to the south. Like a gigantic arrow of a compass pointing north and south, the Valley has seen history in the making as no other place on the Eastern Frontier. From the villages of Andaste warriors clustered here, their campfires smoldering on the western heights in the days when Champlain and John Smith were venturing into the Susquehanna River Valley, to 1779, when a third of the Continental army encamped below, 5,000 strong, waiting impatiently for General Sullivan to lead them against the Iroquois homelands to the north, the Valley has seen it all. In 1786, General Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys were even summoned here to secure the peace in the last chapter of the ongoing Yankee- Pennamite Wars; launched at Wyoming some 20 years previous between Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Yet for all its old traditions, Indian or military, the little valley, known in old surveys as the “Indian Arrow,” contains within its limits a scant ten square miles. Etched on this landscape’s face are traces of a million years of geologic time, over ten centuries of aboriginal occupation, and two centuries of white man’s endeavor; all visible from the vantage point of the “Turn.” The slow work of frost, sun, air, ice and water have lowered the once lofty Appalachian peaks converging streams of aboriginal migrations together from all directions to Teaoga, “the meeting of the waters,” ancestral home of Indian activity. 64pp PB Originally published in 1939……………………………………..$ 8.95 LUKE SWETLAND’S CAPTIVITY by Edward Merrifield This is not just another Indian captivity story, but a collection of stories about the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania during the 1760’s and 1770’s. In addition to detailed chapters on Swetland’s capture, captivity and escape and documentation on Indian culture during his captivity, are extremely valuable chapters on the Pennamite Wars fought between Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Very few people know that the northern part of Pennsylvania between the 41st parallel to the 42nd parallel were actually claimed by both Pennsylvania and Connecticut and several wars were fought over this territory. These Pennamite Wars are one of the most interesting, obscure but vital chapters of 18th century Pennsylvania history. Sullivan’s Campaign against the Indians, and valuable details of Indian life in Pennsylvania and New York before its destruction by Gen. Sullivan are also recorded by Swetland. His escape from and walk back to his Pennsylvania home, only to find his wife and family removed to their previous home in Connecticut. His reunion with his wife and family eventually in Connecticut, after they believed him to be dead, are both moving and exceptional. In the end the Indians would be driven from the valley never to return, Connecticut would lose land they thought they owned, and Pennsylvania would claim this beautiful valley by court decision. Peace would reign once again in the valley called Wyoming. 66pp PB………………………………$8.95 THE JOURNAL OF SAMUEL MACLAY IN 1790 by John Meginness On April 9, 1790, Samuel Maclay, Timothy Matlock and John Adlum were commissioned by the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania to examine the headwaters of the Susquehanna River and explore the streams of the new purchase of Indian land, the Northwestern section of Pennsylvania, lately purchased from the Indians. They were charged with the responsibility of discovering a possible route for a road to connect the waters of the Allegheny River in that part of the state with the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. The vastness of the Pennsylvania frontier in 1790 made this journey one of interest to many people. If only a way could be found to connect the West Branch of the Susquehanna River to the Allegheny River, then it would be possible to go from Philadelphia to St. Louis and westward by virtually an all water route. Can you imagine the implications? Lewis and Clark could have started their incredible journey from Harrisburg instead of St. Louis. The members of this team were an interesting lot. Samuel Maclay, a very popular man, a good scholar and writer from the Buffalo Valley of Union County, PA who rose to become a U S Senator. Timothy Matlock, a Quaker who called Philadelphia his home. He was Secretary of State and prosecutor against Benedict Arnold. John Adlum, from York County, PA, was a surveyor by trade and a commissioner at many Indian treaty signings. Throughout this expedition, you’re confronted with many interesting people. Cornplanter, a famous Seneca chief, and Gershom Hicks, the controversial spy and Indian fighter of Col. Bouquet era, are but two of the characters every expedition needs. Through the wind and rain they pushed on, probing every nook and cranny that flowed with water. These men had a job to do and they did it. Ok, now it’s time to leave. The canoe is full of supplies and the moon is coming over the ridge. It’s a good night for travel. The silence is deafening and broken only by the paddles slicing through the water. A loon calls out. Spring has come once again to the Susquehanna. We’re on our way.

At the conclusion of the F&I War, the British took possession of a vast area west of the Appalachians; with a lucrative fur trade, infinite colonization possibilities, and hostile Indians harboring French loyalties. Overly strict British regulation of the fur trade, coupled with their arrogance,fueled Indian resentment of colonial expansion.

Nobody recording the war sought out these defeated British Loyalists for interviews because these white men who fought with the Indians, were
