France and Great Britain in turn held sovereignty here and in the great conflict of the rival nations for dominion in North America, the Forks of the Ohio, on the line of communication between Canada and the Mississippi valley, naturally became one of the points about which the contest centred. The early story of Pittsburgh is, therefore, one of adventure and war- fare, of Indian massacre and siege and of the struggles and hardships of pioneers who dared to cross the Alleghanies and make for themselves homes on the frontier. Great names are associated with this story: Washington, whose first public service brought him to the site of Pitts- burgh, and who wrote the first description of the land on which the city is built; Forbes, the man of iron will; Bouquet the indomitable; William Pitt, the great statesman, for whom the city was named. There are picturesque incidents, as that of Celoron de Bienville taking possession of the country of the Allegheny in the name of the French king; and examples of rare devotion and simple heroism, like that of Christian Frederick Post, the Moravian missionary, who, at the risk of his life, undertook the perilous mission to the Indians in 1758 and made possible the success of Forbes. It was not until after Wayne's expedition into the Ohio valley and the treaty of Greenville in 1795 that permanent peace was established on the frontier and the way opened for industrial expansion and development. In addition to this history of the western border, Pittsburgh also has its share in the larger history of the commonwealth founded by William Penn. On March 5, 1681, he writes, "After many waitings, watchings, solicitings, and disputes in council, my country was con- firmed to me under the great seal of England. God will bless and make it the seed of a nation. I shall have a tender care of the government, that it be well laid at first." The story of this past, of the heroic personalities, the patriots and statesmen who have shaped the history of city and state should belong to the boys and girls of to-day. It is hoped that the following list may be of service to any teacher who wishes to supplement the regular historical work of the school and stimulate an interest in the history of the city and the state by suggesting books on different topics for study or home reading. The list may be helpful also in story-telling and boys' club work. The relation of history and civics is very close, and biography, while narrating the career of the individual, is in one sense a part of history. The later history of the city and the state is largely one of industrial development. The historical references have, therefore, been supplemented by brief lists on the government of the state, the lives of representative Pennsylvanians, and the principal industries. The divi- sion by subject makes it possible to use any part of the list independ- ently if desired. v Hymn of Pittsburg My father was a mighty Vulcan; I am Smith of the land and sea; The cunning spirit of Tubal-Cain Came with my marrow to me. I think great thoughts, strong-winged with steel, I coin vast iron acts, And orb the impalpable dreams of seers Into comely, lyric facts. I am Monarch of all the Forges, I have solved the riddle of fire, The Amen of Nature to cry of Man, Answers at my desire. I search with the subtle soul of flame The heart of the rocky Earth, And hot from my anvils the prophecies Of the miracle-years leap forth. I am swart with the soots of my furnace, I drip with the sweats of toil; My fingers throttle the savage wastes, I tear the curse from the soil. I fling the bridges across the gulfs That hold us from the To-Be, And build the roads for the bannered march Of crowned humanity. Richard Realf. VI Pennsylvania A Reading List for the Use of Schools, with Special Reference to Indian Warfare and the Local History of Pittsburgh f Indicates books which may be used by children of third and fourth grades. *Indicates books for the older boys and girls and for teachers. Books not marked are suitable for boys and girls of intermediate grades. History Not all of the following list of books on the history of Pennsyl- vania and Pittsburgh have been analyzed for the special topics. It has seemed more practicable to include analytical references only to the books most useful for school work and to those which may be taken from the Library for home and school use. General histories of the United States have not been analyzed. A few stories and poems have been included among the historical references. They may be of use in interesting pupils or as supple- mentary reading. Bolles, A. S. 974.8 B61 ^Pennsylvania, province and state; a history from 1609 to 1790. 2v. 1899.

J920 S88 Celoron de Bienville and the Rival Claims The story of the rival claims of the French and English in the Ohio valley is a part of the general history of the contest of the two nations for supremacy in North America. France claimed, by right of dis- covery and exploration, all America, from the Alleghanies to the Rocky mountains. The English, by virtue of the "sea-to-sea" provisions of the colonial charters, also claimed the territory west of the Alleghanies. "The treaty (Aix-la-Chapelle, 1748) had done nothing to settle the vexed question of boundaries between France and her rival. It had but staved off the inevitable conflict. Meanwhile, the English traders were crossing the mountains from Pennsylvania and Virginia, poaching on the domain which France claimed as hers, ruining the French fur- trade, seducing the Indian allies of Canada, and stirring them up against her. Worse still, English land speculators were beginning to follow. Something must be done, and that promptly, to drive back the intruders, and vindicate French rights in the valley of the Ohio. To this end the governor (La Galissoniere) sent Celoron de Bienville thither in the summer of 1749. He was a chevalier de St. Louis and a captain in the colony troops. Under him went fourteen officers and cadets, twenty soldiers, a hundred and eighty Canadians, and a band of Indians, all in twenty-three birch-bark canoes... On reaching the Alleghany, Celoron de Bienville entered upon the work assigned him, and began by taking possession of the country. The men were drawn up in order; Louis XV. was proclaimed lord of all that region, the arms of France, stamped on a sheet of tin, were nailed to a tree, a plate of lead was buried at its foot, and the notary of the expedition drew up a formal act of the whole proceeding." Parkman's Montcalm and Wolfe, v.l, p. 40-46. The party then proceeded on its way and journeyed down the Alle- gheny and Ohio as far as the Great Miami, holding council with the Indians and depositing leaden plates at different places. Meanwhile, an association had been formed in Virginia for the settlement of the Ohio country. This association was known as the Ohio Company and included among its members some of the chief men THE RIVAL CLAIMS 15 of the colony. The charter granted the company half a million acres of land along the Ohio river and south of it, and the year after the ex- pedition of Celoron, Christopher Gist, the pioneer and trader, was sent out to explore the country and select land, as well as to bear friendly messages to the Indians. Gist and his companions also journeyed through the almost unknown country as far as Pickawillany, the Indian town on the upper waters of the Great Miami, where a series of coun- cils with the Indians was held. After an absence of seven months Gi>t returned to Roanoke with the report of his journey. Both the French and the English now recognized the great strategic importance of the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. In 1752 Gist met the Indians in council at Logstown and made a treaty which granted the Ohio Company permission to make settlements south of the Ohio and to build a fort at the forks of the river; but the undertaking was delayed, and in 1753 the marquis Duquesne, governor of New France, sent an expedition to occupy the disputed territory. The forts of Presqu' Isle and Le Boeuf were built and the French also seized the English trading-post at Venango and established a small garrison there. Baldwin, James.

Dinwiddie of Virginia learned through traders and Indians of the building of the French forts, he resolved to send a mes- senger to ascertain the numbers and force of the French and to warn them against encroaching on the territory claimed by the English. The messenger selected for this difficult task was George Washington, WASHINGTON'S FIRST EXPEDITION 17 who, then but 21 years of age, had held for two years the position, of adjutant-general in the Virginia militia. Washington set out at once for the trading-post of the Ohio Company at Will's Creek and from there, in the middle of November 1753, having procured the services of Christopher Gist as guide, he "left the inhabitants" and struck into the wilderness. At Logstown Washington met the Half King, a friendly chief, from whom he learned the whereabouts of the French, and after many delays the young envoy reached Fort Le Bceuf and delivered the letter sent by Dinwiddie to Legardeur de St. Pierre, commandant of the French forces. Three days were spent by St. Pierre in preparing his answer to the Virginian governor and it was not until December 16 that Washington was able to start on his homeward journey. After many perils, including a narrow escape from drowning in the Allegheny river, Washington arrived at Williamsburg in the middle of January and made his report to Dinwiddie. This expedition is of especial local interest from the fact that Washington remained several days in the vicinity of what is now Pitts- burgh, writing a description of the "Land in th'e Forks" and recom- mending the site as especially adapted for military purposes. It is also of interest in connection with this journey to note that in November 1908 the Allegheny County Committee of the Pennsylvania Society of the Colonial Dames placed on the Springfield School, Smallman and Thirty-first Streets, a bronze tablet commemorating Washington's crossing of the Allegheny river near that point.

Dinwiddie took steps toward holding the coun- try for the English. A company of Capt. Trent's men marched to the forks and in April 1754 a fort was begun, but it was surrendered un- finished to a superior force under Contrecceur. Washington reached Will's Creek, now Cumberland, with three small companies, two days after the arrival of Ensign Ward with news of the surrender. He thereupon set out and late in May reached Great Meadows, where he began the erection of a fortification which he later called Fort Neces- sity. The capitulation of Fort Necessity took place on July 3 and on the following day Washington and his men began their march back to Will's Creek. Baldwin, James. J977 Bigc George Washington.

Braddock's Campaign, 1755 The building of a log fort to command the Ohio had now brought on actual war between the rival nations. The English government prompt- ly ordered two regiments of regular troops to Virginia and Maj.-gen. Edward Braddock was made commander of all His Majesty's forces in America. Braddock arrived in Virginia in February 1755 and established his headquarters at Alexandria, whence troops and military stores were to be sent forward. It was now confidently expected that the French would at once be driven out of the Ohio valley, but, on account of the great difficulties encountered in obtaining provisions and means of transportation, it was well into June before the expedition was fairly on its way to Fort Duquesne. On July 9, when within a few miles of the fort, the English were surprised by the French and Indians and the expedition, from which so much had been expected, ended in disastrous defeat.

Destruction of Kittanning, 1756 Braddock's defeat left the frontiers without protection and the de- fenceless border settlers fell a prey to the merciless raids of the Indians. War parties scoured the country, and the highway, opened by Brad- dock with such difficulty to reach the French and Indians, now proved equally convenient for the inroads of the relentless red man. One FALL OF FORT DUQUESNE 27 serious attempt was made against the enemy in the summer of 1756. This was the attack by Col. John Armstrong on the Indian town of Kittanning on the Allegheny river, the headquarters of the noted chief, Capt. Jacobs. The victory was with Col. Armstrong and Kittanning was destroyed.

Fall of Fort Duquesne and the Building of Fort Pitt, 1758-59 The expedition against Fort Duquesne in 1758 was one of the three campaigns of that year by which William Pitt, then in full control of foreign and military affairs in England, hoped to overpower the French forces in America. Gen. John Forbes, who was placed in command of the campaign against Fort Duquesne, was a Scotch soldier. He was sent to America in 1757 as adjutant-general, and in December of the same year was appointed brigadier-general. Preparations for the cam- paign against the French on the Ohio were soon begun. Forbes reached Philadelphia in April, where he was compelled to wait for troops and supplies until the last of June. He then set out and by slow and difficult stages marched toward Fort Duquesne. Although he had at first intended to lead his army by Braddock's road, he changed his plan and decided upon a more direct route, opening, from Bedford, a 28 FALL OF FORT DUQUESNE new road over the mountains. This decision was not carried out with- out much opposition from the Virginians, headed by Col. Washington, and the controversy that arose (fully discussed in Hulbert's "Historic highways of America," v.5) is one of the most interesting incidents of the campaign. Gen. Forbes had, in the meantime, been stricken with a sickness from which he never recovered. He was carried over the mountains in a litter, suffering greatly from pain and weakness, yet he directed in person almost every detail of the campaign, facing with resolute courage the difficulties that presented themselves at every turn. The new road was rendered almost impassable by unusually heavy rains, and had continually to be repaired; supplies were hard to procure in sufficient quantities; the horses were overworked and starving. Winter was approaching, and early in November upon reaching Loyalhanna, Forbes decided to go into winter quarters there and to resume opera- tions in the spring. He learned, however, from prisoners that were brought in that the French were almost without defense and could not withstand an attack. He then decided to advance and upon approach- ing the fort found that the French, deserted by their Indian allies through the efforts of Frederick Post, and cut off from their base of supplies by the surrender of Fort Frontenac, had blown up the fort and fled. Forbes immediately took possession of the place and built a rough stockade in which he left a small portion of his troops. Early in December he set out on his return. Unable to ride, he was carried in his litter the entire distance to Philadelphia, where he died on the tenth of March and was buried with military honors in Christ Church. The following extract from Forbes's letter to Pitt* contains the short sentence which records the naming of Pittsburgh, and shows in what spirit and with what hopes the name was given to the site of the ruined fort. Pittsbourgh. 27 th Novem r . 1758. Sir, I do myself the Honour of acquainting you that it has pleased God to crown His Majesty's Arms with Success over all His Enemies upon the Ohio, by my having obliged the Enemy to burn and abandon Fort Du Quesne, which they effectuated on the 25 th :, and of which I took possession next day, the Enemy having made their Escape down the River towards the Mississippi in their Boats, being abandoned by their Indians, whom I had previously engaged to leave them, and who now seem all willing and ready to implore His Majesty's most Gracious Pro- tection. So give me leave to congratulate you upon this great Event, of having totally expelled the French from this prodigious tract of Country, and of having reconciled the various tribes of Indians inhabit- ing it to His Majesty's Government.

Siege of Fort Pitt and the Battle of Bushy Run, 1763 "Since the capture of Fort Du Quesne, settlers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia had poured over the mountains, very little scrupulous in their conduct toward the Indians, who began to see and to feel the danger of being soon driven to new migrations. Perhaps, too, their prejudices were inflamed — so at least the colonists thought — by the arts of French fur traders, who dreaded the competition of Eng- lish rivals. The Delawares and the Shawanese, who had lately migrated from Pennsylvania, and who now occupied the banks of the Muskingum, Scioto, and Miami, seem to have taken the lead in a widespread con- federacy, of which Pontiac, an Ottawa chief, is represented to have been the moving spirit. It included not only the tribes lately the allies of the French, but the Senecas also, the most western clan of the Six Nations. The other five clans, though not without much difficulty, were kept quiet by Sir William Johnson. A simultaneous attack was unexpectedly made along the whole frontier of Pennsylvania and Virginia. The English traders scattered through the region beyond the mountains were plundered and slain. The posts between the Ohio and Lake Erie were surprised and taken— indeed, all the posts in the western country, except Niagara, Detroit, Fort Pitt, and Ligonier. The three latter were closely blockaded." Hildreth's History of the United States, v.2, p. 504. "When the news of this Indian uprising reached Gen. Amherst, he ordered Col. Bouquet to march with a detachment of five hundred men 32 FORT PITT, BUSHY RUN to the relief of the besieged forts. This force was composed of com- panies from the Forty-second Highlanders and Seventy-seventh Regu- lars, to which were added six companies of Rangers. Bouquet estab- lished his camp in Carlisle at the end of June. . . After a delay of eighteen days, having secured enough wagons, horses and oxen, Bouquet began his perilous march, with a force much smaller than Braddock's, to encounter a foe far more formidable. But Bouquet, the man of iron will and iron hand, had served seven years in America, and understood the work. On July 25th he reached Fort Bedford, when he was fortunate in securing thirty backwoodsmen to go with him. This little army toiled on through the blazing heat of July over the Alleghanies, and reached Fort Ligonier August 2d, the Indians, who had besieged the fort for two months, disappearing at the approach of the troops. Here Bouquet left his oxen and wagons and resumed his march on the 4th. On the 5th, about noon, he encountered the enemy at Bushy Run. The battle raged for two days, and ended in a total rout of the savages. The loss of the British was one hundred and fifteen and eight officers. The distance to Fort Pitt was twenty-five miles, which place was reached on the 10th. The enemy had abandoned the siege and marched to unite their forces with those which attacked Col. Bouquet at Bushy Run. The savages continued their hasty retreat, but Col. Bouquet's force was not sufficient to enable him to pursue the enemy beyond the Ohio, and he was obliged to content himself with supplying Fort Pitt and other forts with provisions, ammunition and stores. It was at this time that Col. Bouquet built the little Redoubt which is now not only all that remains of Fort Pitt, but the only existing monument of British occupancy in this region."

It was not until September 17th that his con- voy arrived at Fort Pitt. Early in October he marched with fifteen hundred men and a long train of pack-horses into the valley of the Muskingum. Wherever he appeared with his strong force the Indian tribes were ready, after much talk, to make treaties of peace and deliver up their white captives, two hundred of whom, and some with re- luctance, were taken back to the settlements. Colonel Bouquet marched to the forks of the Muskingum, meeting with no opposition, and having accomplished his purposes, retraced his march, and arrived at Fort Pitt on the 28th of November. The success of the expedition and the return of the captives to their homes were the occasion of joy through the whole country. The assemblies of Pennsylvania and Virginia passed votes of thanks to Colonel Bouquet, and the king conferred on him the rank of brigadier-general.

Lord Dunmore's War, 1774 The possession of the "Gateway of the West" had for years been a subject of dispute between Pennsylvania and Virginia and the hostile feeling was nourished by the conflicting interests of the people of these two colonies in respect to the western country and its wild inhabitants. These difficulties led in 1774 to the border war, known as "Lord Dun- more's war." It was conducted under the general direction of the earl of Dunmore, last royal governor of Virginia. Dunmore found a ready tool in Dr John Connolly, a violent and unscrupulous man, who, about 36 LORD DUNMORE'S WAR the end of 1773, came up from Virginia, seized the ruins of Fort Pitt and erected a small stockade which he named Fort Dunmore. From here he issued proclamations in the name of the governor of Virginia, calling upon the people to obey his authority. His tyranny was such that many families returned to the eastern side of the mountains and his high-handed proceedings led to further strife between Pennsyl- vania and Virginia over the vexed question of the boundaries. Mean- while, war broke out between the settlers and the Indians, instigated, it has been claimed, by Dunmore and Connolly. One of the causes of the outbreak of hostilities at this time was the slaying of the whole family of the friendly chief Logan. The war thus ushered in by the Yellow creek massacre was an event of cardinal importance in the history of the western frontier. It was ended by the decisive battle at Point Pleasant, on the Great Kanawha (October 10, 1774), in which the In- dians under the famous Shawnee chief Cornstalk, were totally defeated by the backwoodsmen under Andrew Lewis. This defeat so cowed the Indians that they were fain to purchase peace by surrendering all their claims to the hunting-grounds south of the Ohio. It kept the north- western tribes comparatively quiet during the first two years of the Revolutionary war and thus opened the way for the settlers to rush into Kentucky. The boundary difficulties were not finally adjusted until 1780. Adapted from Fiske and Chapman. Baldwin, James. J977 Bigc A noble red man. (In his Conquest of the old Northwest, p. 132-144.)

This was owing partly to the prosperity of the colony under the liberal form of government established by Penn, partly to the fact that the Quakers naturally were opposed to a course of action that might end in war. Massachusetts and Virginia had taken the lead in the opposition to England; but it was necessary to secure the cooperation and support of the other colo- nies, and to this end the Continental Congress was assembled. Phila- delphia on account of its central location was selected as the place of meeting and thus became the scene of some of the most important events of the Revolutionary period and the birthplace of the new nation. The military incidents of the war in Pennsylvania were chiefly those connected with the occupation of Philadelphia by the British under Lord Howe, and Washington's campaign in the vicinity of that city. While the American patriots were waging war with the English in the East, the western frontier was exposed to constant attacks from the Indians, with whom the English had made an alliance, and those who fought to repel these invaders were also aiding in the struggle for freedom. The Eighth Pennsylvania regiment was organized to de- fend the border and in 1777 was ordered to Fort Pitt, from which point expeditions were sent out against the Indians.

Expeditions of Harmar and St. Clair After the close of the Revolutionary war immigration again began to flow toward the West, but the Indians north of the Ohio were not disposed to submit to the presence of white settlers and began hostili- ties along the border. The unsettled conditions and the continued out- rages finally determined the government to call out the militia of the frontier states. The first expedition under Gen. Harmar suffered defeat in a fight on the Maumee in October 1790; and a second and larger force, led by Gen. St. Clair, was surprised by the Indians and nearly destroyed in November 1791.

JW8520 On the frontier with St. Clair; a story of the early settlement of the Ohio country. Adventures of a boy in the disastrous campaign of Gen. St. Clair. Expedition of General Wayne "Realizing from his own bitter experiences with militia at the out- break of the French and Indian war, that the failures of Harmar and St. Clair were due quite as much to the insubordinate character of the troops as to the lack of capacity on the part of their commanders, Washington now selected for general of the army a soldier of pro- verbial bravery, Mad Anthony Wayne, one of those rare men whom prudence teaches when to be rash successfully. . .Wayne's task was to retrieve the failure of St. Clair, his former rival, and to avenge the death of his campmate and friend, General Richard Butler, who after winning glory in the Revolution died the death of a Bayard on St. Clair's bloody field. The first necessity was to get into shape the en- larged army that Congress had authorized for the campaign, and had named the Legion of the United States. Arriving at Pittsburg in June, Wayne began the arduous task of recruiting and drilling men who were so terrified at the name of Indian that while yet in Pennsylvania on one occasion the mere report of savages in the neighborhood caused one-third of the sentinels to desert their posts... In May, 1793, Wayne with his legion dropped down the Ohio from his camp near Fort Mcintosh to Fort Washington, and there kept up the daily drills while he grimly awaited the results of the council to be held with the Indians at the mouth of the Detroit." Moore's Northzvcst under three flags, p-359S6i. The council having accomplished nothing, Wayne advanced into the Indian country and encamped on a branch of the Miami, at a place to which he gave the name Greenville. There he passed the winter, send- ing forward a detachment to build upon the site of St. Clair's defeat a fort which was named Fort Recovery. The following summer Fort Defiance was built and on August 20, 1794, Wayne met and defeated the Indians in the decisive battle of Fallen Timbers, so called because of the fallen timber with which the ground was covered. After the battle Gen. Wayne returned to Greenville, where negotia- tions were carried on with the Indian chiefs, and on August 3, 1795. he was able to announce that "a permanent peace" had been made with the ten great nations dwelling within the Northwest.

The Whiskey Insurrection, 1794 "Whisky insurrection [is] the term popularly applied to the or- ganized opposition -among the farmers and distillers of the four west- ern counties of Pennsylvania in 1794 to the enforcement of the Federal law of March, 1791, imposing an excise tax on whisky. The law was exceedingly unpopular in this part of the country, where whisky was the chief article of manufacture, and from which, by reason of the remoteness of the country, grain could not well be shipped to the East except in the more portable form of whisky. The frontier in- habitants regarded the law as an unjust discrimination against them, and vigorously opposed its enforcement. The Government at once instituted prosecutions against some of the chief offenders, but when the marshal undertook to serve the necessary processes he was com- pelled by a body of armed men. to desist. In pursuance of an act passed by Congress in May, 1792, President Washington issued a proclamation commanding the insurgents to disperse, and warning others against abetting them. On August 14, 1794, a convention of more than 200 delegates, representing the western counties of Pennsyl- vania and one county in Virginia, assembled at Parkinson's Ferry on the Monongahela, with Albert Gallatin as secretary of the meeting. Three commissioners who had been appointed by the President, to- gether with commissioners appointed by the Governor of Pennsyl- vania, appeared at the convention, and offered a general amnesty, conditioned upon submission to the laws, but no promises or pledges could be secured from the convention. The commissioners thereupon returned to Philadelphia, and on the basis of their report the President issued a second proclamation on September 25th, commanding sub- mission and announcing the march to the scene of disturbances of a force of militia, a requisition for 15,000 militiamen having already been made upon the Governors of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland. Upon the approach of the troops the ardor of the insurgents was somewhat dampened, and David Bradford, the prime mover in the insurrection, fled to New Orleans. Meantime another convention assembled at Parkinson's Ferry and passed resolutions pledging submission and obedience to the laws. Thereupon Governor Henry Lee of Virginia, who was acting as commander of the militia, issued a proclamation of amnesty, requiring an oath of allegiance to the United States, and ordered the arrest of those offenders who re- fused to make a declaration of submission. A number of suspected persons were seized. Some were dismissed for want of evidence, and others were bound over to appear for trial. Two were convicted of treason, but were pardoned by the President. As a precautionary THE WHISKEY INSURRECTION 4 g measure, 2500 troops under the command of General Morgan were retained in the disaffected community throughout the winter to serve as a police force. The real significance of the disturbance, which never rose to the dignity of an insurrection, was that it was the first instance in which the strength of the new Federal Government to maintain domestic tranquillity and enforce laws was put to the test. The promptness with which the resistance was put down won respect for the Government and established valuable precedents with regard to its power and duty on similar occasions in the future."

He vowed undying vengeance, raised a band of kindred spirits, dressed and painted like Indians, and became the scourge of the red man and the champion of the white."

J904 J37S Logan the Mingo Logan was the son of Shikellimy, chief of the Cayugas. His In- dian name was Tah-gah-jute, but he was given the English name of Logan in honor of James Logan, William Penn's secretary. While still a young man, Logan was chosen as chief of a Mingo tribe. He lived many years near Reedsville, Pa. and was known as the friend of the white man. About 1770 he removed to the banks of the Ohio and four years later his family were massacred by settlers in revenge for many outrages by the Indians. This massacre was one of the causes which led to Lord Dunmore's war. After the defeat of the Indians at Point Pleasant, Logan refused to appear among the chiefs who sued for peace and it was at this time that he sent the well-known message to Lord Dunmore. Ellis, E. S. JE531I Logan the Mingo; a story of the frontier. Logan aids in the escape of some white settlers attacked by a war-party of Nip- pinocks.

Dinwiddie of Virginia against the intrusion of the French upon the territory claimed by the English. Goho, S. O. J974-8 G57 Shikellimy and Logan. (In Goho, S. O. Pennsylvania reader. p. 37-40.)

He raised large sums of money on his own responsibility for the prosecution of the war and in 1781 became superintendent of finance.

"He was a man of indomitable spirit, and. . .instead of sinking into despondency and listless inactivity, he spent his time in writing letters stimulating his countrymen to action, and furnishing information necessary to success. . .Inclosed in one of these let- ters was an accurate plan of Fort DuQuesne. . .The letters and plan were received by Colonel Washington in due time, copies were sent to the Executive of Pennsylvania, and subsequently copies were also furnished to General Braddock. After his defeat, on the ninth of July, 1755, these papers fell into the hands of the enemy, were sent to France, and from thence to Quebec, where Stobo was then confined, and there placed his life in great jeopardy."
