Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Border Warfare in Pennsylvania: During the Revolution Whether the English Colonies in America would have escaped the horrors of two decades of border warfare, had not the royal arms of France been nailed to trees in the Ohio Valley nor the monogram of King George been pasted on Colonial documents of business, is of course problematical. It is especially so in Pennsylvania, where Indian wars had been unknown before the middle of the 18th century. Yet it is fair to presume that the one great cause of Indian hostility everywhere - extension of white settlements - would have brought the tomahawk and scalping knife to the frontier of Pennsylvania had there been no French or Revolutionary War. It is true, the French incited the Indians to aggression after the peace of Aix la Chapelle; but those intrigues succeeded by reason of the hope held out that the hunting grounds usurped by the English should be restored. While Christian Frederick Post was on his mission, 1758, of withdrawing the Ohio Indians from the French interest, the chiefs said to him at Fort Duquesne: "Before you came they had all agreed together to go and join the French, but since they have seen you they all draw back, tho´ we have great reason to believe you intend to drive us away and settle the country, or else why do you come to fight in the land that God has given us." Post replied that the English did not intend to take the land from them, but only to drive the French away.
