The living of a good life was always of more importaice than mystical interpretation of scripture. The Unitas Fratrumu passed through many periods of persecution and hardship. At one time it was almost obliterated hy anti-Moravian forces. From its founding in 1457, to 1722, the followers of this peaceful and devout sect experienced desperate difficulty. Not until they found a haveen in Saxony did the church again begin to thrive. Perhaps it was this two-hundred-year period of persecution that made the Mora- v'ians understand and pity the plight of the common man. At aila rate, they began to look with new hope to the shores of a VAast and rapidly developing continent, America, where they felt that "the temptations of the world could be shut out and the highest form of spiritual life developed."' This article deals with one segment of the activity of the Mora- viaii church in America-the missions to the American Indiail. Stories vary as to how the Moravians were stimulated to begin their mission work, but of this we are sure: they dedicated their existence to this end, placing the conversion of the Indian in a position of priority.

  • Kuskusky Towns and Early Western Pennsylvania Indian History, 1748-1778
    Kuskusky Towns and Early Western Pennsylvania Indian History, 1748-1778 URING THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, Indians throughout eastern North America came under increasing pressure from D Euro-American colonies. This was especially true for native societies living on the borders of Anglo-America. The growing conflict between Great Britain and France after 1689 threatened not only the peace of their respective American colonies, but also the survival of many Indian nations, from the Iroquois of New York to the Cherokees and Creeks of the southeast, who found themselves living between the imperial giants. Of equal concern to the Delawares and Shawnees of eastern Pennsylvania was the rising tide of colonial settlement that threatened to appropriate and extinguish the natives' political indepen- dence and cultural identities. The history of one Indian townsite in the Beaver River Valley of western Pennsylvania demonstrates how some native peoples met the challenges of a world in which the balance of political and cultural power was shifting dramatically toward colonial societies that contin- ued to expand at the expense of nearby Indians. Located at or near present-day New Castle, Pennsylvania, the original town site, then called Kuskusky, was occupied by Iroquois who, like their Delaware and Shawnee neighbors, brought to western Pennsylvania the social and political threats that frequently accompanied colonial settlements and inter-colonial conflicts. By 1748, the upper Ohio Valley had been transformed into a cockpit of international and intercolonial rivalries that once more threatened the Indians living there. For almost thirty years thereafter, the Indians at Kuskusky and the newer "Kuskuskies" towns were often at the center of the Indians' now familiar struggle for security, a struggle that effectively ended in the mid-1770s when the towns and western Pennsylvania passed from the Indians' world to that of the new United States.
