CORNSTALK'S FAME AND DEATH
AT POINT PLEASANT
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

EVEN If the Shawnees had not given

be well represented in the indian naii
of fame by Cornstalk. He rose 60

ant during Lord Dunmore's war IN
1774. That was the first "All-American
engagement-Sh Shawnee Indians led by
Cornstalk against native frontiersmen
commanded by Col Andy Lewis.
On the evening before the battle the
Shawnee chief, knowing that he was
already outnumbered and that another
army was marching against him, Of
fered to cross the Ohio alone and make
overtureS for peace He was overruieu
by his warriors. 1T is well, ne sald'
"If you are resolved to fight, then bght
you shall. But if any warrior attempts
to run away / will kill him with my
own hand"
Early the next morning he attacked.
1t was a desperate all-day battle.
Cornstalk was everywhere, encourag-
ing his warriors. Once, true to his
threat he cut down with his toma-
hawk a skulker. Then Lewis out
nanked him. The chief skillfully with
drew his forces leaving the white man
in possession of the field, but at the
cost of IS killed and $50 wounded.
When Lord Dunmore offered TO
make peace, Cornstalk called council
of his chiefs. "YOu would not make
peace before Point Pleasant. what Is
your voice now with two armies OF the
Long Knives pressing upon us?' he de-
handed IF it is for war, let us first
kill our women and children, then go
out and fight like men until we, too,
are killed. The Shawnees were silent.
Cornstalk dashed his Ratchet into the
council post You act like children y
he exclaimed Il will go and make
peace myself" SO he went alone to
Chillicothe and signed the treaty.

Ellinipsico, who was badly frightened,

at. The names and addresses on these
oldest, yellowed pages had been first
written, it was plain, all at the same
time and with the same pen and ink,
and each sheet I'm the beginning had
contained seven or eight names. Some
of these original names and ever the
addresses had been left unchanged,
but most of them had been scratched
ont and altered many times-Other
and quite different names had been
substituted; the pages had become
finally almost illegible, crowded
scrawls, rewritten again and again in
Corvet's cramped hand. Alan strained
forward, holding the first sheet TO the
light.
Alan seized the clippings he had
looked at before and compared them
swiftly with the page he had just read
two of the nameS-WeSthouSe and
French-were the same as those upon
this list. Suddenly he grasped the
other pages of the list and looked
them through for his own name; but
it was not there. He dropped the
sheets upon the table and got up and
began to stride about the room.
He felt that in this list and in these
clippings there must be, somehow,
some N general meaning-they must
relate in some way to one thing; they
must have deeply, intensely concerned
Benjamin COrvet'S disappearance and
his present fate, whatever that might
be, and they must concern Alan's fate
as well. But in their disconnection,
their incOherence, he could discern no
common thread. What conceivable
bond could there have been uniting
Benjamin COrvet at once with an old
man dying upon a poorfarm In Emmett
county, wherever that might be, and
with a baby girl, now some two years
old, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin?
He called Wassaquam into the IL
brary and brought the lists and clip
pings out again.
"Do you know at all what these are,
Judah?" he asked.
"No, Alan. l have seen Ben have

with him, and he ran away. He was
the one that broke into my fathers
desks; maybe you'll believe that, even
If no one else will"
"YeS?" the Indian questioned
"Yes?' 1t was plain that he not only
believed but that believing gave him
immense satisfaction. He took Alan's
arm and led him into the smaller H.
brary. He knelt before one of the draw
ers under the bookshelves-the drawer,
Alan recalled, which he himself had
been examining when he had found
Wassaquam watching him. He drew
out the drawer and dumped its on
tents out upon the floor; he turned
the drawer about then, and pulled the
bottom out of il. Beneath the bottom
which he had removed appeared now
another bottom and a few sheets OF
paper scrawled in an uneven hand and
with different cOlored inks.
At sight of them, Spearman, who
had followed them into the room, ut
tered an oath and sprang forward. The
Indians small dark hand grasped
Spearman's wrist, and his face
twitched itself into a fierce grin
which showed how little civilization
had modified i'm him the aboriginal
passions. But Spearman did not try
to force his way; instead, he drew
back suddenly.
Alan stopped and picked up the pa
pers and put them in his pocket. If
the Indian had not been there, it
would not have been SO easy for him
to do that, he thought.
