  • Contact Period Landscapes of the Lower
    Contact Period Landscapes of the Lower Susquehanna River Brenda Barrett – Living Landscape Observer Jackie Kramer - National Park Service 2015 Acknowledgements The majority of this project was carried out over a yearlong period (February 2013- February 2014). We want to thank all of the participants who gave generously of their time and ideas, and worked around the uncertainties of weather and government closures. The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office provided the impetus for the project and provided both leadership and staff support. Many thanks go to Superintendent Chuck Hunt and Assistant Superintendent Jonathan Doherty and also to former Superintendent John Maounis, who initiated the project and supported testing new ways of looking at the landscape. Special thanks go to Deanna Beacham, American Indian Program Manager, NPS Chesapeake Bay Office. Many regional experts gave their time and expertise to the project. Jim Vaughn, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), encouraged the effort and saw it as an opportunity to build partnerships for the future. The Commission staff provided invaluable assistance. Special thanks go to Dr. Kurt Carr, Senior Curator; Jim Herbstritt, Historic Preservation Specialist at the State Museum of Pennsylvania; and Doug McLearen, Archaeologist in the Bureau of Historic Preservation. Archeologist with years of experience in the Lower Susquehanna contributed their knowledge including Dr. June Evans, Steve Warfel, former Pennsylvania State Archeologist; and Andrew Wyatt, Senior Archaeologist, URS Corporation. Critical to the discussion was the contribution of Dr. Katherine Faull, Bucknell University. Dr. Faull and her students added an important dimension to our thinking on the indigenous cultural landscape.

    Indigenous Cultural Landscapes Study for the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail: the Lower Susquehanna Area September 2015 Katherine M. Faull, Ph.D. -- Principal Investigator David Minderhout, Ph.D. -- Native American Ethno-Historical Consultant Kristal Jones, Ph.D. -- GIS Research Associate Brandn Green, Ph.D. -- Research Associate prepared under cooperative agreement with Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA and The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, MD Revised Final November 2015 Executive Summary The area of the Lower Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, PA to the head of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland contains more than 50 identified sites of significance for Native American history and culture. These sites are part of a larger landscape of river, hills, plains, and waterways that are meaningful to the history and present-day lives of people who claim American Indian descent, especially from the Susquehannock Indians. This study, based on scholarly and oral traditions, argues that remnant peoples of Susquehannock descent were absorbed into the various nations of the Haudenosaunee and continue to have a vital interest in the interpretation and preservation of this stretch of the Susquehanna River. This report provides background and evidence for the inclusion of many of these locations within a high-probability indigenous cultural landscape boundary—a focus area provided to the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Advisory Council for the purposes of future

MACDONALD DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA ABSTRACT This paper provides a summary of current data regarding the age, geographical distribution, and function of keyhole structures in the upper Susquehanna River Valley of north-central Pennsylvania and south-central New York. Keyhole structures have been identified at 11 sites in the West and North Branches of the Susquehanna River Valley. The feature type likely originated in the West Branch Valley from which it spread to the north, south, and east. Their main period of use was during the latter portion of the Late Woodland period, between approximately 1230 and 1670 A.D.

  • The Location of Susquehannock Fort
    THE LOCATION OF SUSQUE- HANNOCK FORT. It is no exaggeration to state that there was no point within the present bounds of Pennsylvania before Penn's arrival of equal importance to that of Susquehannock Fort, and yet for al- most two centuries its location has been a mooted question. Among the other confusions concerning it have been that it was confused with what were more recently known as the frontier forts, forts which had been built along the frontier settlements of Pennsylvania by Europeans, the first of which were built about (1) 1723. Susquehannock Fort was a fortified Indian village of the tribe of Indians which were in possession of a large portion of the eastern section of Pennsylvania. They were known by the English as Susquehannocks, by the Dutch and Swedes as Minquas, by (2) the French Canadians as An- dastas or Gandastogues. That tribe was in possession of this territory when Captain John Smith explored the Chesapeake Bay in 1606, and they remained in possession of it until 1675, when they were conquered by the Senecas, a tribe of the Iroquois or Five Nations of New York, who, after that period, claimed this territory, taking the greater portion of what remained of the Susquehannocks cap- tive, and, as was the Iroquois custom, 1—Col. Records, Vol. 3, p. 271. 2—Md. Hist. Soc. Fund Pub. No. 15, p . 117; note 46. divided them among several of their towns in what is now New York State, giving them Iroquois wives and virtually making them Iroquois. Some Susquehannocks and Senecas remain- ed here, consisting of about forty able bodied men and some women and children.

  • The Susquehanna Valley in the United Methodist Hymnal by Dr
    HYMNS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA The Susquehanna Valley in the United Methodist Hymnal by Dr. Milton Loyer, 1998 0. Prelude I invite you to journey with me through the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church. We'll travel down the Susquehanna River Valley -- from the headwaters of the West Branch of the Susquehanna near Clearfield and the entrance of the North Branch of the Susquehanna into Pennsylvania north of Towanda, through Sunbury, past Harrisburg, and toward the Chesapeake Bay. But this trip will be unlike any you have ever taken. It will be a musical journey, and our roadmap will be our United Methodist Hymnal! This excursion leads to 10 cities, 11 authors and 22 hymns in the present United Methodist Hymnal that have a direct connection to the Central Pennsylvania Conference -- the itinerary is given on the following page. Sit back, relax, and a have a pleasant trip. And don't forget your roadmap -- having a copy of the United Meth- odist Hymnal at hand as you read will help you get the most from this adventure. 1. Williamsport Turn to hymn #254, We Three Kings of Orient Are . Our journey fittingly begins considering the birth of Jesus. The words and music to this popular Christmas carol were composed by John Henry Hopkins Jr. in 1857, and they have been in- cluded in Methodist hymnals since 1935. Geographically, we begin at Christ Epis- copal Church at Fourth and Mulberry Streets in Williamsport, where Hopkins served as pastor for 11 years -- from 1876 to 1887. Born in Pittsburgh, this son of an Episcopal bishop worked as a reporter and studied law at the University of Vermont before entering General Theological Seminary in New York City.

What Right has Onontio [the Governor of French Canada] to our Lands? I desire you may go home directly off our Lands." -The Seneca sachem Tanaghrisson, 1751 Logstown Conference While I was growing up in central Pennsylvania my Mother told me stories of the Indians who once inhabited the area, and of the fabled "Tulpehocken Trail," which she said ran just south of where we lived. This important trail, often used by the Indian interpreter Conrad Weiser and his Iroquois friend Shikellamy; connected my home town of Sunbury, Pennsylvania with the colonial capital of Philadelphia. When I was in my early teens I discovered a portion of the trail when climbing nearby Kershner's Hill, and on it a pristine piece of wampum apparently dropped by some Indian traveler over two hundred years before. My father had also excited my curiosity by taking me to search for arrowheads on the cornfields of Packer's Island on the Susquehanna River, which had been part of the Delaware Indian village of Shamokin.
