Friends of Our Native
Landscape.

State Historical Society of Wiscon-
sin, Madison, July, '1922.-Joint SEES
sion of the Friends" of both Illinois
and Wisconsin was held June 3 and
at Holy Hill in Washington county.
Who would not be friend to such a
landscape as unrolled before the eyes
Of the pilgrims from this famous
height? Eighty came from Illinois,
while from Wisconsin all roads con-
verged these days on Holy Hill; the
governor and his party, and others
from the capitol and the state uniyer-
sity, motored thither; while from
Milwaukee a large party of "hikers"
made their way to this delightful
meet. The sessions were held in a
kettle moraine, forming natural
amphitheatre of green turf; there the
Indian council pole was planted and
the camp fire lighted. Just at sun
their lovely masque con the Edge of
the Wood" Wisconsin contributed
talks on the geology, flora and fauna,
and local history of the region, as
well as on the distinctive religious
history of Holy Hill. Then as the
moon rose high above the trees, songs
and dances added to the elfn charm
of the place, when a spirit Of conrad
ship in the love of the out-of-doors
thrilled all those assembled there.
The Society of Friends of Our Native
Landscape has for it's objects both in
struction and enjoyment; it aims to
conserve natural beauty, and to pro-
mote plans for state and local parks.
John S. Donald and Prof. F. A. Aust
are president and secretary of the
Wisconsin section.

CHIEF LOGAN, THE CAYUGA;
HIS IMMORTAL SPEECH
Blu Elmo Scott Udtson

HT APPEAL to any white man to
say if ever he entered Logan's
cabin hungry and he gave him not
meat; if ever he came cold and naked
and he clothed him not? During the
course of the last long and bloody war,
Logan remained idle in his camp, an
advocate for peace. Such was my love
for the whites that my c0untrymen
pointed as passed and said, Logan is
the friend of the white man. | had
even Thought to have lived with you
but for the injuries of one man.
Colonel Cresap, the last spring, in
cold blood and unprovoked, murdered
all the relations of Logan, not even
sparing my women and children. There
runs not drop Of my blood in the
veins of any living creature. This
called on me for revenge. l have
sought it. / have killed many. l have
fully glutted my vengeance. For my
country l rejoice at the beams of
peace; but do not harbOr a thought
that mine is the joy Of fear. Logan
never felt fear He will not turn on
his heel to save his life Who is there
to mourn for Logan? Not one!"
What American has not at some time
in his school career recited from his
reader that speech, not realizing the
historical inaccuracy Of some Of the
statements nor the fact that the chief
was doing a great injustice to Col.
Michael CreSap a daring borderer and
q brave officer Of the Virginia rif1emen
during the Revolution? For the man
who was guilty of the murder was
Daniel Greathouse a dissolute trader
But even such errors in fact cannot
detract from the greatness of the
speech and of the man, nor from the
tragedy of his life. For Logan (Tah-
alphabetically: His Eyelashes
Stick OUT; figuratively: 'Spying'')
was unwavering in his friendship to
the whites until the massacre of his
people in ITO sent him on the war
path, raging like wild animal. He
was the leading figure in Lord Dun
more's war, one of the bloodiest in
frontier history.
Occasionally his better instincts pre-
vailed during that war. Once he saved
the life of Simon Kenton, the famous
scout, when Kenton's old friend, ST.
mon Girty, the white renegade" had
failed.
He had been an Incorporate drinker
before the Greenhouse murder. After
that he became an utter sot, which
only added to his cruelty. In 1850 his
nephew killed. him during a drunken
brawl. His wife survived him, but
there were no children. SO his mourn.
full statement, there runs not drop
of my blood in the veins Of any living
creature" was true to the last.

KING HENDRICK TRADES AN
EMPIRE FOR A COAT
Blu Elmo Scott lDafson

MO OTHER white man in history
ever had more influence over the
red man than Sir William Johnson,
colonial superintendent Of Indian al
fairs. At his baronial mansions in
western New York, ''the Hall' and
''The Castle" he received members OF
the IrOquois confederacy as equals and
1t was his influence which made them
allies Of the English instead Of the
French during the French and Indian
war.
One Of the chiefs who frequently
visited Johnson Hall was a Mohawk
named King Hendrick. One day Sir
richly embroidered clothing. King
Hendrick was present when it was I'M
packed and the gaudy attire caught
the fancy Of the red man. The next
morning he approached Sir William.
Brother I had a dream" he an
nounced. Indeed" replied Johnson,
''what did my red brother dream?
Il dreamed that you gave me one of
those fine coats" said the Mohawk,
and Sir William, greatly amused, gave
him the garment.
Some time later Johnson visited
Hendricks camp. They smoked
awhile in silence. Brother, [ had a
dream last night" finally stated John
son. "What did my pale-faced brother
dream?' asked the chief. Il dreamed
that this tract of land was nine
and Sir William described a square
of the richest land in the Mohawk
valley, containing nearly 100000 acres.
Hendrick was completely taken
aback by The enormity Of the request,
but he could not be outdOne in gen
crosby. After a moment he said :
Brother, the land is yours" "But, "
he ADDED earnestly "you must not
dream again." By playing Indian on
Hendrick, Sir William had acquired
land which made him one Of the
largest landholders in the colonies.
During the French ana Indian war
Johnson persuaded King Hendrick to
join him in marching against an in
vading force Of 1000 French under
General Dieskau, who was coming
from Canada. On September 8, 1855,
they met the French at Lake George.
When Johnson decided to detach a
part of his force for a flank attack he
asked King Hendrick if he thought a
certain number would be enough. 'If
they are to fight, they are too few -
replied the chief "If they are to be
killed, they are too many" Acting
upon this advice, Sir William kept his
force together and attacked. A great
battle followed in which King Hen
drick was killed while fighting bravely
at the head Of his warriors.

Portrait of Rev. Samuel Mitchell

State Historical Society of Wiscon-

Historical Society has recently secur-
ed, through the courtesy Of Mrs. Wal
ter Brennan of Lancaster, Wisconsin
beautiful photos made from daguerre
otypes of her ancestor and ancestress
the Reverend Samuel Mitchell. The
Reverend Samuel Mitchell was note
worthy figure in early Methodism,
first in Illinois from the year 1917 to
the year 1888, and then in Wiscon
sin, particularly Platteville, though
he was known throughout the lead
region and indeed the state as
whole. One of the daughters of the
Mitchells was married in Illinois to
Maj. John r. Rountree, who became
the founder of Platteville. The story
of Samuel Mitchells life is interest
ing in several ways. He was Vir-
ginian by birth, member of distin-
guished family, and in early life was
the owner of many slaves. These he
freed after his conversion to- Metho-
dism, believing it to be a sin to hold
human soul in bondage. His work
in Wisconsin, while less notable than
that which he was able to do in
southern Illinois during the best
yeas of his life, nevertheless consti-
tutes an important chapter in the re-
ligious history of the state

All the joy of trout fishing is not

this time of the year, with the wind
blowing cold outside and the rain bat

fisherman is sitting before his CRATE
fire getting ready his book OF flies for
the next campaign. With feathers and
silks he is as happy as mortal can be.
There's never bright lure passes
through mis- fingers but what in fancy
he is giving battle to some speckled
beauty. The fun of trout fishing is In
the anticipatory delights of getting
ready. In that field of happiness there
is no such thing as bad weather.
