These Indians, he reported, were Senecas, Onondagas, and others of the Five Iroquois villages. At their urgent request, Celoron permitted some residents of Detroit to carry goods thither, and had recently sent Sicur Navarre to the post, to make a report thereupon. Navarre's account was trans­ nUtted to Quebec with this letter.

    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.

Mueller, Ph.D. Chief Historian Independence National Historical Park 143 S. 3rd. Street Philadelphia, PA 19106 Although it often gets overlooked, the French and Indian War, or the War for Empire as it is now becoming known, was a very important turning point in United States History. While it was only a small part of a much larger scale war between Great Britain and France, it would bring about many changes on the North American continent. The immediate results of the war included the British acquisition of Canada and an almost immediate end to French presence in the North American colonies. The war also had the long term effects of establishing British dominance in the colonies and planting the seeds for the American Revolution. In the grand scheme of the war, the state of Pennsylvania would prove to be immensely important. While the war was being intensely debated among the assemblymen in the State House in Philadelphia, many important military events were taking place across the state. Not only did the French and Indian War establish places like Fort Duquesne and Fort Necessity as key historical sites, but it also involved some notable men in Pennsylvania and American history, such as Edward Braddock, James Abercrombie, and a then little known 21 year old Colonel by the name of George Washington. The major turning point of the war, and American history for that matter, was led by a Scottish-born General by the name of John Forbes, whose expedition across the state in 1758 forced the French to retreat from Fort Duquesne, a feat unsuccessfully attempted by Braddock three years earlier, and ultimately set the British on a course towards victory.

One side of the medal showed a road cut through vast forests and the rocky steepness of impassable mountains. The Latin inscription, Per-Tot Discrimina, tersely called attention to the many difficulties the British had encountered before they came to blows with the French and Indians at the Ohio. 1 The other side of the medal showed a flaming fort at the junction of the two rivers toward which a well organized army advanced, led by a general carried on a litter. The caption, Ohio Britannica Consilio Manuque, boasted that the Ohio Valley was now British through superior wisdom and skill. Many provincial as well as British officers were entitled to wear this medal, which probably never got beyond the conception stage.

    OF COLONEL HENRY BOUQUET's EXPEDITION AGAINST the OHIO INDIANS, 1764 (CARLISLE to FORT PITT) Edited by Edward G

    ORDERLY BOOK I OF COLONEL HENRY BOUQUET'S EXPEDITION AGAINST THE OHIO INDIANS, 1764 (CARLISLE TO FORT PITT) Edited by Edward G. Williams Foreword 1959, the orderly book of the march of Colonel Henry Bouquet's Inarmy from Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh) to the Muskingum River in Ohio, with an introduction and explanatory notes by this author, ap- peared in the Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine in three in- stallments. 1 At that time a promise was made to print the orderly book of the march of the army from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Pitts- burgh. A decision of editorial policy was made to print the second orderly book during that bicentennial time. The accompanying presen- tation is a fulfillment of that obligation. There were originally three books which recorded the daily orders and explicit instructions to the regimental and company commanders for every detail of duty in the camp, courts-martial, road cutting, marching, and troop formations to receive an enemy attack. 2 Only two of the books have survived the years and, after the lapse of nearly two centuries, have found their way into hands that cherish them. The William L.Clements Library of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is the reposi- tory of these rare manuscript pieces among other collections of original source materials of American history. The books are bound inbrown leather, 8 by 4-7/16 inches, hinged at the top of the narrow dimension. The pages are yellowed, foxed, and water stained but well preserved and, for the most part, very legible. Mr. Williams, scholar, historian, and author of works on General Lachlan Mclntosh, General Richard Butler, and other notable persons connected with the early history of Western Pennsylvania,— resumes his annotation of the orderly books of Col.
