PIutes Remember George Washington

the state of Pennsylvania and imme-
diately sent Crawford out to secure
it for him, in the approved teapot
dome style. Thru the next ten years
Washington stubbornly fought, both
the Indians and the white settlers, to
maintain these lands. He later made
use of tips" obtained thru his posi-
ton as general Of the American army
to make more secure the lands which
Crawford had staked out, on a per-
centage basis. ~, ~
Get Around The Law
at is possible" Washington con
tinued, THAT the custom in Pennsyl-
vania will not admit so large quaint
ity Of land as desire. If so this may
be arranged by making several
entries to the same amount, II the ex-
pense is not too heavy.
"All want if the land can only be
secured from others, that is all want
at present. BY this time it may be
easy for you to discover that my
plan is to secure good deal of land.
You will consequently come in for a
very handsome quantity. l recon-
mend that you keep this whole matter
secret"
Crawford replied that the stalking
of land had been stopped by the In
dians" as "the Indians are not paid
for the land" Nevertheless. Craw-
ford set to work. He asked Washing
ton as a favor, to secure for him the
title of a Negress who had run of
and taken refuge with the Indians.
THE wench l have ran away from
them and came to Fort Pitt" Craw-
ford wrote, II am afraid there are
some scheming already to purchase
her."
1t was only thru the aid of Lord
Dunmore, governor of Virginia be-
fore the revolution and a notorious
lackey of King George, that Wash
ington was able to secure his land.
On June 16, 1894 Washington wrote,
my land on the Ohio and Great Ken
hawa rivers amounts to 32,373 acres"
Upon a second survey, however, it
was found that Washington's land
was even greater in extent.
sordId History -.
The sordid history of Washington's
land CRAFTS is written in his own hand
in letters TO his agent Crawford.
These letters show how Washington
pitted his Negro slaves and his white
convict laborers, who were also used
as slaves during their term Of i'm
prisonment, against the western
white settlers and against the Ne
groes. They show how Washington
drew governors, army officers and
agents into his plots, and bought
them of on a commission basis. They
show the cunning and cupidity Of the
FIRST big American capitalist.
