Christopher Gist was a surveyor hired by the British to explore the Ohio territory. Gist kept a diary of his meetings with Indian leaders and British traders. His diary is an example of a primary source. French and Indian War Events leading up to the war: ● The British had claimed the Ohio territory for the King of England. ○ In 1748 a group of Virginia businessmen organized the Ohio Company. The British king granted them some land in the Ohio territory. British settlers began buying the land and settling in the Ohio territory. ○ In 1754, the British began building a fort on the Ohio River. The French captured the fort before it was finished and named it Fort Duquesne. ● The French had claimed the Ohio territory for the King of France. ○ In 1749 the French claimed the land for the French king. ○ In 1752 a French war party attacked the town of Pickawillany. Pickawillany was the home of the Miami leader, La Demoiselle. La Demoiselle was killed during this attack. The French and Indian war lasted from 1754 - 1763. While Indian groups had cooperated with the British before the war, many supported the French in the war also. The British won the war and gained the land. After the French and Indian War After the war, the tensions between the British and the Indians continued over two issues: land and trade. In 1763, Ottawa leader Pontiac organized the Indians to fight back. The Indians were able to capture many British forts. In response to Pontiac’s rebellion, the King of England issued the Proclamation of 1763, which established a dividing line through the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. The British settlers were to stay to the east of the line. The settlers, however, did not respect the King’s proclamation and continued to move and settle in the Ohio territory. .

Gist Family of South Carolina and Its Mary Land .Antecedents
The Gist Family of South Carolina and its Mary land .Antecedents BY WILSON GEE PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR BY JARMAN'S, INCORPORATED CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA 1 9 3 4 To THE MEMORY OF MY MOTHER PREFACE Among the earliest impressions of the author of this gen ealogical study are those of the reverence with which he was taught to look upon the austere to kindly faces in the oil portrai~ of his Gist ancestors as they seemed from their vantage points on the walls of the room to follow his every movement about the parlor of his boyhood home. From his mother, her relatives, his father, and others of the older people of Union County and the state of South Carolina,_ he learned much of the useful and valorous services rendered by this family, some members of which in almost each gen eration have with varying degrees of prominence left their mark upon the pages of history in times of both peace and war. Naturally he cherished these youthful impressions concerning an American family which dates far back into the colonial days of this republic. As he has grown older, he has collected every fragment of authentic material which he could gather about them with the hope that they might be some day permanently preserved in such a volume as this. But it is correct to state that very likely this ambition would never have been realized had not his cousin, Miss Margaret Adams Gist of York, South Carolina, who for thirty-five years or more has been gathering materials on the Gist family, generously decided to turn over to him temporarily for hi~ use her rich collections of all those years.

Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany
ABSTRACT “THE LAND BELONGS TO NEITHER ONE”: NATIVE AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND THE RAID ON PICKAWILLANY In 1752, the Miami settlement at Pickawillany was attacked by a force of Ottawa and Chippewa warriors under the command of a métis soldier from Canada. This raid, and the events that precipitated it, is ideally suited to act as a case study of the role of Native American peoples in the Ohio Country during the first half of the eighteenth century. Natives negotiated their roles and borders with their British and French neighbors, and chose alliances with the European power that offered the greatest advantage. Europeans were alternately leaders, partners, conquerors and traders with the Natives, and exercised varying levels and types of control over the Ohio Country. Throughout the period, each of the three groups engaged in a struggle to define their roles in regards to each other, and to define the borders between them. Pickawillany offers insights into this negotiation. It demonstrates how Natives were not passive victims, but active, vital agents who acted in their own interest. The events of the raid feature a number of individuals who were cultural brokers, intermediaries between the groups who played a central, but tenuous, role in negotiations. It also exhibits the power of ritual violence, a discourse of torture and maiming that communicated meanings to friends and rivals alike, and whose implications shaped the history of the period and perceptions of Natives.

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.

Christophe Boucher, College of Charleston, American Studies, Vol
96 Book Reviews more lynchings than any other. Ultimately, the authors were able to fnd fairly reliable matches in the census and other records for 935 victims of southern lynchings. (Bailey and Tolnay’s lengthy and detailed discussion of their methodology is interesting and worthwhile in its own right.) Census records vary from decade to decade, but from 1880 to 1920, they generally included, among other things, age, mixed-race status, marital status, relationship to head of household, literacy, occupation, home ownership, and place of birth. Based on this information, the authors found several signifcant trends in their study of the victims of southern mob violence. Across the South, black male victims tended to be “older adolescents or young adults who resided in rural areas and were engaged in unskilled work, generally within the agricultural sector” (88). There was considerable diversity in literacy and marital status. Victims were more likely than the average adult black male to own their own home. With the possible exception of that last sentence, none of this is really surprising. Bailey and Tolnay’s most signifcant fnding, “the social marginality perspective of vic- timization” (116), came when they looked at the statistics on a county level. In counties where there were relatively few African Americans of higher status (by such measures as literacy, occupation, mixed race, and home ownership), those of higher social standing were more likely to be victims of mob violence; in counties with higher than average numbers of higher-status African Americans, those with lower social status were more likely to be victims.
