WHEN ANDY LEWIS FOUGHT
CHIEF CORNSTALK

The battle of Point Pleasant on
September 10, 1774, was the first all
American battle ever fought on this
continent. Europeans had taken part
In all important engagements before
French and Indians against British
and Americans. But when Andy Lewis
and his borderers batled with Chief
Cornstalk and his Shawnees, 1t was
strictly a native affair.
Lewis was born In Ireland, but he
had come to this country while still
a child, and he was no less an Amer
lean than the frontiersmen he led. He
fought with George Washington in the
French and Indian war and he became
one of the greatest leaders of the CO.
lonial troops. He was six feet two
inches tall and powerful.
Lewis was chosen by Lord Dunmore
in 1774 to lead a picked body of men
against the Shawnees while Dunmore
attacked them from another direction.
Chief Cornstalk knew the two armies
were coming and decided to defeat n
before the other could join it-a IA
fGrite trick OF Napoleon.
The Shawnees attacked Lewis army
early one morning. Lewis had taken
out his pipe when the first shot was
ared. He eoolly finished lighting his
ire and then gave the orders to his
men, who rushed to meet the Indians.
Goth sides fought "Indian-fashion,"
lodging from tree to tree and taking
advantage of every bit Of coyer The
nghting was at a close range and In
tile smoke-filled forest frontiersman
and Indian came hand to hand-toma-
awk against hunting knife.
Late in the afternoon the Indians
ave way, but there was no rout.
t'ornstalk was too good a general for
that and the Americans paid dearly
Tor every foot of ground they o
That night Lewis held possession of
ne battlefield, but he had won it at a
terrible COSTS men killed and lao
wounded. Andy Lewis and his bor-
ierers had won the greatest Indian
battle in early American history.
Andy Lewis did not have a chance
20 make a name for himself in the
Var of the Revolution which Don fol-
lowed. He was passed over for gen
prnls Of less ability and he died in
1880. an embittered, broken-hearted
Old man. The fate of his opponent,
Cornstalk, had also been a sad one.
In 1777 he came to a fort on the Ohio
un a friendly mission. He was arrest
ed and thrown into prison. While
there the great Shawnee leader was
treachereusly murdered by a mob of
soldiers in revenge for the death Of a
tonrade who had been killed by In
,fnns.

MM5ysSM Oldest town In

NM cS&AH Sx&YNU the site of an
WSkM 4ZM Indian village
~AsM and it was
&S2ent@ here that
Father Marquette, after his first
discovery of the Illinois river,
established a Jesuit mission In
1875. Four years later La Sale,
the French explorer, passed
through the Great Lakes, landed
at the Chicago river and pushed
on to the Illinois river, which he
named after the Indian tribes
living In that region. Here he
built a fort and sent his boat
back to Montreal for further sup
plies. When his vessel did not
return he started home on foot
and succeeded in finding his way
to Montreal through a thousand
miles of tangled wilderness. He
gathered together another expe-
dition and returned to the fort,
which he had left in charge of
his companion Tonty. The fort
he found in ruins, but finally sue
ceeded in locating and rescuing
Tonty, who had been driven out
by the Iroquois Indians.
This riverway to the Mississip-
pi became one of the leading
avenues of communication be-
tween the French in the North
and Louisiana, French settlers
cor located here and estab-
lished the most friendly rela-
lions with the Indians. In fact,
though the Illinois country was
coded by France to England in
1853, the sentiment of the Indi-
N and French together was so
hostile that it was several years
before the territory could be oc-
cupied.
During the Revolution 1t was
George Rogers Clark and his ex-
petition into the territory north
of the Ohio which captured Kas-
kaskia and drove the English
from this province. Various
states claimed rights to parts of
this territory, but these were
finally coded to the federal gov
eminent and in 1887 it was
formed into the Northwest Ter
ritory. This tract extended from
Pennsylvania to the Mississippi
and was eventually divided into
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi-
gan.
in 1918 Illinois was admitted
as the twenty-frst state with an
area of 56,665 square miles. The
state is one of the most level In
the country and is often called
the Prairie State. Politically
Illinois is the most important
state In the Union next to New
York and Pennsylvania as 1t has
twenty-nine electoral votes for
