come into the valley and built a
cabin near where the Indian trail
crossed Wolf Creek northwest OF
Beverly, The Indians and settlers
were very friendly, partaking of the
hospitality of each other when oc-
casion demanded.
One time two Indians were there
and evidently were disappointed in
what they had to eat, as they told
John deacon Milier) On a horse

they would get deer. They got to
the mouth of Little Wolf Creek by
night, but had found no game Ear
ly the next morning one of the In
dians went out with his gun and
killed large turkey gobbler and
gave it to the boys to take home.
Early in 1887 trouble was brew
ing along the Muskingum; as hunt
ers for the fort had gone up the riv-
er for game, party was sent out in
April to bring them back. They
were camped so miles up the river,
which would be in the vicinity of
McConnelsville. In May a larger
party of soldiers went up to the
Falls. Duncan Falls) and did not
return until the 21st of November.
But they had no trouble with the
Indians. Big Bottom was the larg-
est tract of bottom land between
the Falls and the mouth of the riv-
er. The Ohio Company wanted to
get settlers on their land and erect
ed small blockhouse in the fall Of
1890, where the state park now is.
The men they got to go there were
young and not used to the dangers
of frontier life and Indian warfare.
1t was cold winter, the river be-
ing frozen over. During the sum-

Of the fighting and other observa-
tions made are applicable to any
part OF the country, and while we
have read much about the same
matters he relates, l thought it pos
sible that to bring them again to
the attention of the readers of these
articles would be of interest.
shall only quote few of the daily
observations that would be as ap-
plicable to living along the Mus
kingum as where the observations
were made. In the fall of 1871 the
troops were very active in the west
ern part of Ohio, though st. Clair
was running back and forth from
Ft. Harmer Cat Marietta) to Fort
Washington (at Cincinnati. After
the massacre at Big Bottom in Jan
uary of 1871, St. Clair was asked
by the Ohio Company to clear the
had most of its land lying along the
east bank of that river and wanted
it surveyed so it could be sold and
those interested in the company
get some revenue from the sale of
the land. However the war depart
ment wanted st. Clair to clear out
the western part of the state and in
trying to accommodate both parties
he accomplished but little. In Sep
tember, Denny writes in his diary,
Gen. st. Clair appears exceedingly
impatient at the delay or detention
of the troops. !. On the 7th, Gen.
Butler and Hodgdon, the quarter
master, arrived with Captain New
mans company. General Har-
mer solicits court of inquiry to

LOCAL HISTORY

By
Stanbery Alderman

When st. Clair went to New York
early in 1889, he had two objects in
view. The first was to have some
legislation passed for the territory;
to obtain money and troops for the
Indian warfare he felt was sure to
come as he was an old personal
friend of Washington, to be at his
inauguration as president.
1t took nine days for Mrs. Wash
lngton to go from Mt. Vernon to
New York, where she arrived on
May 2S, 1889. The next day Wash
1ngton entertained a select company
at family dinner, among them be-
Clair in writing about the dinner
said that it was very plain, and
Washington, standing at the head Of
the table, asked blessing. After
the dessert, a single glass Of wine
was offered each guest. The COM
pany departed without any cere-
mony.
Trouble with the Indians was a
constant source of worry to St.
Clair, and he reported to the presi
dent from time to time with sug-
gestions as to how best to handle
them. On Oct s, 1889, Washington
wrote to ST. Clair: ''You are hereby
authorized and empowered in my
name, to call . for such detatch

from Virginia and 500 from Penn
.sylvania. A war with the Indians
ought to be avoided it is ex-
tremely difficult. to say that a
war, =. would be just on the part
of the United States (From Ms.
War Dept. Files). The scene of ac-
tion now changed to the western
part Of the territory, in Indiana,
and Illinois and it is not until 1871
that much is heard of activity along
the Muskingum.
The Delaware Indians held the
eastern half of Ohio from Lake Erie
to the Ohio river. They were not a
Warlike tribe nor were they very |
numerous. They lived in villages |
on the upper part Of the Muskingum !
and in its tributaries, and reserved /
the lower part as a hunting cOun- |
try. This made it game paradise. I
The lower benches of the river were
with a few exceptions, and thus it
did not attract settlers as early as
did the more level lands on the low
er reaches of the Ohio. But few
settlers were coming up the river as
they felt secure by the fort at Ma
rietta. Settlers were to be found at |
the mouth of nearly all of the
creeks emptying into the Mus
kingum as far up as Stockport.
While there were no Indian villages
in the lower valley, the Indians used
so were constantly passing through.

to relate a story told me by my
grandmother. Mrs. E. M. Stanbery.
