  • The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C
    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania.

  • Student Worksheet
    Student Worksheet George Washington and the French and Indian War French and Indian War Worksheet 1: Three Groups that Wanted the Ohio Valley The French The French had settlements in Canada. They needed access to the Ohio River because it was the best route between their settlements in Canada and those in the Mississippi Valley where St. Louis is today. The French also wanted to keep the British from settling on lands west of the Allegheny Mountains. The French were rivals of the British in Europe. They knew that if they kept the British east of the Allegheny Mountains, they would have to use naval and military strength to protect their colonies and this would weaken the British power against the French in Europe. The French did not need to settle in the Ohio River Valley, but they needed to be able to travel through it to trade. There were about 70,000 French colonists in New France. They were excellent soldiers and had a good trading relationship with the Indians. The English The British wanted to settle in all of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains. Virginia’s charter desig- nated their western boundary as the Pacific Ocean. They saw owning land as a way to become wealthy. Some of the best land was just west of the Allegheny Mountains. They already had land grants on the Ohio River. Until they could settle that area, their goal was to prevent the French from gaining control of the region and waterways. They could also make money by trading. At the beginning of the war, the British had more than 1,000,000 colonists.

December 28, 2015 i ©2015 by Jeffrey Michael Zimmerman All Rights Reserved ii “ALL THE NATIONS TO THE SUN SETTING” GEORGE CROGHAN, EXTENDING THE LIMITS OF EMPIRE IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA Jeffrey Michael Zimmerman, MBA Chair: Ronald M. Johnson, PhD ABSTRACT George Croghan was a mid-eighteenth-century British Indian agent. Born in Ireland, he came to America and settled in Pennsylvania in 1741. As an Ohio Valley fur trader he pushed far enough west to invite destruction of his Great Miami River depot by New France in 1752. Over time he befriended Shawnee, Ohio Huron and Miami Indians. Indian Department Superintendent Sir William Johnson rewarded his countryman’s effectiveness by appointing him western deputy. Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War added Illinois to Croghan’s responsibilities. General Lord Jeffrey Amherst led Britain’s war efforts; he was replaced by General Thomas Gage, under whom Croghan had served at Braddock’s Defeat. Pontiac’s War ensued; Gage and Johnson relied on Croghan, who knew the Ottawa leader, to end it. However, Croghan’s focus became blurred by land speculation. Several western land schemes crafted by Croghan and Philadelphia financier Samuel Wharton either failed or were cut short by the American Revolution.

  • Commerce and Conflict on Central Pennsylvania's Colonial Frontier: Archaeology at Forts Shirley and Lyttelton
    Commerce and Conflict on Central Pennsylvania’s Colonial Frontier: Archaeology at Forts Shirley and Lyttelton Jonathan A. Burns Bookend Seminar, December 3, 2013 Jonathan Burns is Lecturer in Anthropology and Archaeology at Juniata College and at Penn State University, and founder and member of the Board of Directors of the nonprofit research and education organization AXIS Research, Inc. ’m excited to share Pennsylvania’s rich colonial history and the work I’ve been doing through the I Penn State archaeological field school as well as an archaeology survey class we’ve started here at Juniata College. One of the things I’d like to point out about archaeology is that it’s not just the duty of one person to see all this data through the process of discovery and make all the interpretations; rather, it takes an interdisciplinary team of people working together with different specialties and understandings to make this all come together and to understand the material culture and the context from which it is recovered. I want to highlight significant local archaeological sites. We have right here in our backyard, in this county and surrounding counties, excellent archaeological sites dating from ten thousand years ago, all the way through the colonial era and into the 1800s and the Industrial Revolution. It really just depends on what your interests happen to be as to where to start looking for material evidence here in the Commonwealth. Throughout my career, I’ve been interested in Native Americans and the effects that European colonization had on them—so this first site is one that I’m very fortunate to have investigated.

George Washington and Native Americans: "Learn Our Arts and Ways of Life". Fairfax: George Mason University Press, 2018. 300 pp. $35.00 (paper),ISBN 978-1-942695-14-1. Reviewed by John G. McCurdy (Eastern Michigan University) Published on H-Early-America (May, 2020) Commissioned by Kelly P. Sharp (Furman University) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55029 In 1753, George Washington first met Seneca chief Tanacharison, also known as the “Half-King.” For the twenty-one-year-old Washington, the meeting was an opportunity to align British and Iroquois interests against the French. Although the two men had never met before, Tanacharison knew the young colonel by reputation. “It was at this time,” Washington recalled decades later, that he was dubbed by Tanacharison as “Caunotaucarius (in English) the Towntaker” (p. 9). Native Americans remained a constant concern for the general, and later president, over the next half-century. In George Washington and Native Americans, Richard Harless thoroughly examines Washington’s views on North America’s indigenous peoples, arguing that the president’s views “did not remain static, but evolved over time.” Harless focuses on three periods of Washington’s life: the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and his presidency. Over time, Washington’s views changed “from an obsessive emphasis on the acquisition of tribal land to a commitment to saving Native Americans from the eventual annihilation that he considered a possibility” (p.

  • Michel Pepin Dit La Force and John Carlyle: a Link to the Seven Years
    Carlyle House D OCENT D ISPATCH Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority April 2007 Michel Pepin dit La Force and John Carlyle: A Link to the Seven Years’ War by Melanie La Force and Norman La Force On occasion, genealogical research reveals more to the researcher than names, births, deaths, baptisms, and marriages. A family member recounts a story about ancestors and describes their participation in a historical event. A comment is inserted in a document; a name is mentioned in a journal. Sometimes a physical description is given. Finally, a link is made to a prominent person and a different picture of history develops. This is the case for ancestors in the Canadian La Force family line. It would include an accurate marriage record and a note of power of attorney that would reveal which La Force was involved in the events that started the French and Indian War. In French Canadian history, the La Force family will be linked to life in New France, to Duluth, Governor Duquesne, Commander Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre, Jumonville Glen, the Iroquois people, and the Seven Years’ War. In American history Michel Pepin dit La Force is linked to John Carlyle, life in Nova Francia et Canada, 1597.

    The Western Pennsylvania historical magazine Volume 37 Summer, 1954 Number 2 HALF KING, SENECA DIPLOMAT OF THE OHIO VALLEY LOIS MULKEARN* hundred years ago and more the English referred to the American Indians as native princes of North America. During Threethe next 150 years the name was replaced with barbarians, sav- ages, black caitiffs of the forest, and at times, Indians. The French called them sauvages (savages). Famous Indian chiefs are known in story as great warriors, most often as great leaders who opposed English colonization. Tikamthi or Tecumseh, the Shawnee hero of many border wars (1794-1813); Micha- kinikwa or the LittleTurtle, the Miami who waged unrelenting warfare against the whites until he was defeated by Mad Anthony Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers (1794); Tah-gan-jute or John Logan, the Mingo who avenged the murder of his kinsmen by the Virginians (1774); Pontiac, the Ottawa who brought death and destruction to Western Pennsylvania (1760's); Guyasuta, the Seneca who led the marauders at the destruction of Hannastown (1782) and who fought at the Battle of Bushy Run (1763); and "Shingas the Terrible," the Delaware whose band laid waste the frontier settlements in Pennsyl- vania (1754-57), all are familiar names. This generality does not apply to Tanacharison or the Half King, the Seneca chief sent by the Onondaga Council to watch over their own warriors and over their socage tribes in the Upper Ohio Valley. The reason may be that the Half King was great in the field of diplomacy, not a leader on the battlefield.
