Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fort Pitt: And Letters From the Frontier The increase of interest in the frontier history of Pennsylvania, caused by the establishment of the society called the "Daughters of the Revolution," has induced me to publish these historical documents. The principal occupants of this portion of Pennsylvania, when first explored, were the Six Nations: the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas and the Tuscarawas. 1749, Captain Celeron, a French officer, came to the Ohio and took possession of the country in the name of his king, Louis XV, of France, and deposited leaden plates at different places on the rivers Allegheny and Ohio. This is referred to in the Olden Time, and parts of the journal have been published by others with notes. The journal of Celeron, as now published, was copied in Paris from the original in the Public Library, procured by the kindness of Monsieur Margry. The few notes needed were written by William M. Darlington. 1754, Governor Dinwiddie claimed the Forks of the Ohio for Virginia. Captain Trent´s company was sent here, under command of Ensign Ward, and commenced the erection of a fort. April 17th, Monsieur Contrecceur descended the Allegheny River with his forces and demanded its surrender.
