    Early Development of Transportation 115 EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON THE MONONGAHELA RIVER By W. Espy Albig* Although the traffic on the Monongahela River from Brownsville to the Ohio had advanced from the canoe of the Indian and the Kentucky boat of the emigrant of Revolu- tionary times, to a water borne traffic of no mean size in passengers and miscellaneous freight, and to more than a million bushels of coal annually before the Monongahela waterway was improved by the installation of locks and dams late in 1841, yet no records remain of the constantly increasing stream of commerce passing over this route be- tween the east and the west. Here and there remains a fragment from a traveller, a ship builder or a merchant giv- ing a glimpse of the river activity of the later years of the 18th century and the early ones of the 19th century. The Ohio Company early recognized the importance of this waterway, and in 1754 Captain Trent on his way to the forks of the Ohio by Nemacolin's and the Redstone trails, built "The Hangard" at the mouth of Redstone Creek. From April 17th, when he surrendered his works to the French and retreated in canoes up the Monongahela, this avenue became more and more important until the steam railways supplanted the slower traffic by water. The easy navigation of this stream led that man of keen insight, George Washington, into error, when, under date of May 27, 1754, he writes: "This morning Mr. Gist ar- rived from his place, where a detachment of fifty men (French) was seen yesterday.

  • Downton Abbey and the Northwest Ordinance
    Downton Abbey and the Northwest Ordinance Viewers of the popular British series Downton Abbey may recall the initial episode that set in motion all the frantic efforts to keep the estate in the family and have a suitable marriage for the aloof but beautiful Mary Crawley. The lovely Mary was pledged to marry her cousin Patrick but all the plans for this arranged nuptial were drowned along with the Titanic upon which Patrick had been aboard. Not only were Mary’s marital hopes dashed, but the future of Downton Abbey suddenly became uncertain since the Laws of Primogeniture and Entail complicated inheritance details of property owning families that had no sons. Here’s a quick review of these laws: Primogeniture ensured that the eldest son in a family inherited the largest portion of his father’s property upon the father’s death. The practice of entail, guaranteeing that a landed estate remain in the hands of only one male heir, was frequently practiced in conjunction with primogeniture. When there was no son to inherit the property, it was to go to the closest male relative. These laws existed in Europe for many years and was a sure recruitment tool for the church and the military as a place for those younger sons. Since Lord Grantham was blessed with three daughters and no male heirs, the title and the property would no longer remain in the hands of the immediate family. Conveniently for the plot, the distant cousin, handsome Matthew Crawley, was brought in and, after the usual ups and downs of soap operas, fell in love and married Mary.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 8 the Early History of the Public Domain
    Chapter 8 The Early History of the Public Domain During and following the period of the signing of the treaty of peace with Britain which ended the Revolutionary War, the vast territory be- yond the Allegheny Mountains became the property of the federal gov- ernment as then constituted under the Articles of Confederation. This development was the outcome of the disputes among the separate colonies as to ownership and jurisdiction over segments of the region ex- tending from the Great Lakes to the neighborhood of the Gulf of Mexico. As already shown in the previous chapters, much of this region was unexplored and populated only by Indian tribes. But the "right" to it was bought dearly in blood and suffering by the colonists in their struggle against the French claim to occupation. As some of the colonies had boundaries that did not abut any part of this region, they were unwilling to enter a union which thus cut them off from claims to a portion of this new territory. Appeasement came about only through the successive cessions of the claims of the various states in the Confederation to the national government. In this way, the public domain was created. It has proved to be a source of irrita- tion, dispute, corruption, and even despair to the Republic for more than a century and a half. Yet its distribution and development in this period form one of the most remarkable historical episodes in the story of civilized man. The Northwest Ordinance The first project to dispose of a part of the public domain was an ordinance passed by the Continental Congress in 1785.

Surveyor General Edward Tiffin set the Michigan Meridian (north-south line) using the 1807 Treaty of Detroit land cessions.

  • The Miami Slaughterhouse
    The Miami Slaughterhouse In the 1780’s, a Squirrel could reach Cincinnati from Pittsburg and never touch the ground. In part because of this heavy tree canopy, the land between the Little Miami River and the Great Miami River was known to have some of the richest farm land ever seen. The land between the Miami’s was a special hunting ground for the Indians. They would not give it up without a fight. In 1966, while researching a high school term paper, I found a diary written by Mary Covalt called “Reminiscences of Early Days about the construction and defense of Covalt Station primarily set during the years 1789 until 1795. “ My story tonight is about ordinary men and women coming down the Ohio River to settle in the land between the Little Miami and Great Miami Rivers. The Covalts who came down the Ohio and built Covalt Station in the area now known as Terrace Park were my ancestors. Mary Covalt’s diary along with other letters and personal accounts gives us the chance to use a zoom lens to focus on how life was lived was during this period. This story takes place in the Old Northwest Territory, and more specifically in the Ohio Territory and very specifically in the land between the two Miami Rivers. Not many of us would want to personally experience the sacrifices made to develop this land. Innocently, these pioneers came to a place that would embroil them in a life and death struggle for the next five years. These five years in the Old Northwest Territory would settle once and for all if America’s future growth would be west of the Allegany Mountains.
