  • 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.

  • Chastain-Stark-Vineyard
    Chapter XII: Chastain-Stark-Vineyard Last Revised: November 22, 2013 The parents of Sarah {Chastain} Vanderpool were PETER CHASTAIN 1 and REBECCA {STARK} CHASTAIN . Peter was born on November 28, 1795, in Franklin County, Virginia. He prepared his will on January 13, 1852, and died in Lewis Township of Clay County, Indiana, just a few weeks later on February 24, 1852; he is buried in Friendly Grove Cemetery in that township and county. In his will, which was probated on May 26, 1852, Peter Chastain left money to his widow Rebecca and divided his land among his heirs (including his daughter, our Sarah). He also specified that Rebecca was to receive rental income, which indicates that he owned considerable property besides what he had willed to his survivors.2 Rebecca was born on April 10, 1799, in Shelby County, Kentucky, but her date and place of death are not known with certainty. She died after 1880, for she is on the census that year, but searches of obituaries, wills, cemetery records, and death indexes in a number of Indiana counties (particularly in Clay County), have turned up no record of when or where she died. It is likely that her death came sometime during the early 1880s, since Indiana’s statewide index to deaths began in 1882 – though it was incomplete for many years thereafter. We know that on January 3, 1880, Rebecca released her dowry rights to 1 The Chastain family, only mentioned in passing in this chapter, is discussed in detail in a later chapter; refer to a footnote there for an explanation of this surname.

UNITED/STATES: A REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF AMERICAN STATEHOOD Craig Green* Where did states come from? Almost everyone thinks that states descended immediately, originally, and directly from British colonies, while only after- ward joining together as the United States. As a matter of legal history, that is incorrect. States and the United States were created by revolutionary inde- pendence, and they developed simultaneously in that context as improvised entities that were profoundly interdependent and mutually constitutive, ra- ther than separate or sequential. “States-first” histories have provided foundational support for past and pre- sent arguments favoring states’ rights and state sovereignty. This Article gathers preconstitutional evidence about state constitutions, American inde- pendence, and territorial boundaries to challenge that historical premise.

  • The Distinguished Life of Hugh Henry Brackenridge ..By Richard R
    The Distinguished Life of Hugh Henry Brackenridge ..by Richard R. Gideon In July of 1794 a powerfully built Scottish immigrant made his way from Pittsburgh to attend a meeting at Mingo Creek, Pennsylvania. His objective was to become a moderating voice of reason in a room filled with budding revolutionaries. In later years historians would record this meeting as one of a series of acts collectively known as the Whiskey Insurrection or Whiskey Rebellion, the first real test of the authority of the newly created Federal government. The Scotsman’s name was Hugh Henry Brackenridge, a self-made man and product of early American intellectualism. Among his friends were James Madison, William Bradford and Philip Freneau, the latter a collaborator on a book called "Father Bombo's Pilgrimage to Mecca in Arabia" and a patriotic poem called ``The Rising Glory of America.'' Father Bombo, a satire based on a feud between rival clubs at Princeton University, is now recognized as the first novel written in America. In later life Brackenridge would write his masterpiece, a work called "Modern Chivalry." Described as a comic narrative, a combination of Don Quixote and Tom Jones, Modern Chivalry became a staple of 19th Century American literature. Mark Twain called the book "a classic." But then literature was only one area of accomplishment for the Honorable Mr. Brackenridge. Beginnings Hugh Henry Brackenridge was born in Scotland in 1748. His parents immigrated to York County, Pennsylvania, when Hugh was five years old. Unlike many a poor farmer’s son, Hugh was a natural scholar. He received his early education in part from the local country school, but mainly from a Presbyterian clergyman of the region who tutored him in Latin and Greek.

  • Western Virginia Becomes West Virginia
    Western Virginia Becomes West Virginia Prior to 1863, there was no West Virginia, only an area of land which was part of Virginia. Conditions in western Virginia were entirely unlike those in the eastern portion of the state. As early as the American Revolution, there was a movement to create a separate state, and a petition for the establishment of "Westsylvania" was presented to the newly formed U.S. Congress, on the grounds that the mountains presented an almost impassable barrier to the east. The rugged nature of the country made slavery unprofitable, and time only increased the differences between the two sections of Virginia. The terms tuckahoe and cohee were used during the 18th and 19th centuries to describe two contrasting cultural groups in the Virginia and Carolina areas of the United States. "Tuckahoe" refers to the low-country, slave- owning plantation owners, who mostly came from England. The "cohee" were typically poor, non-slave-owning, independent farmers, largely Scotch-Irish and Pennsylvania German families, who migrated south and west in search of cheap land. By the time of the Civil War, some writers were describing the sectionalism of American politics as the conflict between 3 different cultures: "yankee", representing mercantile New England, "tuckahoe", the slave-owning southern plantation owners, and "cohee", the western self-reliant pioneer. Residents of western Virginia were discontented for years with their position in Virginia, as the government was dominated by the planter elite of the eastern areas. They were generally less supportive of slavery, although many counties were divided on their support. The residents of this area became more sharply divided after Virginia voted to secede from the Union at the start of the Civil War.
