ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
Gabriel Arthur, Wanderer
Elmo Scott w atson

IN THE spring of 1878, Capt. Abra-
ham Wood of Fort Henry (now
PeterSburg) in Virginia sent James
Needham, a South Carolina gentle
man, and a lad named Gabriel Ar
thur into the Southern Appalachians
to trade with the Cherokees. They
were warmly welcomed, but later
Needham was murdered by treach-
erous Occaneechi brave.
The Cherokee chief promised
Arthur to escort him home the fol-
lowing spring In the meantime he
took Arthur to a village of friendly
Mohetons on the banks of the Great
Kanawha. Returning from this visit
the Cherokees went out of their way
to attack a village of ShawneeS. In
the battle which followed the Eng
lish lad was wounded twice and
taken prisoner.
Because he had long hair, the
Shawnees suspected that their cap
tive was not a Cherokee and when
they secured off the accumulated
dirt they were amazed at his white
skin. When he told them. by sign
talk, that he would return to trade
with them if they would release
him, they promptly sent him on his
way to the Cherokee country.
Reaching the town of his former
friends, he set out for Fort Henry
the following spring accompanied by
l8 Cherokee laden with furs for trad
ing. Narrowly escaping death at the
hands of the hostile Occaneechies,
Arthur reached his home after one
Of the most eventful experiences that
probably ever befell an English lad
of his years. He had penetrated far
ther into the Ohio country than any
of his fellow Englishmen but history
does not record whether or not he
lived to see his people triumph over
the French in their contest for that
rich land.

Americas Prime Minister

IN 1876, Christian Priber arrived
in the Cherokee Indian village of
Great Tellico in what is now east
Tennessee. He had left in South
Carolina everything he owned ex-
cept some books and writing ma
terialS.
Priber soon won the friendship of
the Indians by adopting their dress
and mode Of living and insured their
further confidence by marrying the
daughter of Moytoy. chief of the
tribe. Then, as one of their own,
he taught the redskins to read and
write.
Having won their deep respect
and encouraged their dependence
upon his plans, he staged an inn
pressive ceremony. While war
drums thumped, he, the mild-man-
nered teacher. short in stature, un-
impres essive in appea earance,
crowned" the tall and stately Moy-
toy "Emperour" of the Kingdom
of Paradise" Diplomatically, he
created other titles for the lesser
chiefs and there was colorful cere-
mony as they paraded before the
throne of their 'emperour But,
most important Of all, was Christian
Priber's own appointment as
"Drine minister"
His next step was his undoing. He
sent an Official communication
from Great Tellico, capital of the
Cherokee kingdom" to the COVER
nor at Charleston telling him that
the English must leave America.

A drawing on display at the Ameri-

was given to this country by France

The Coolidge examiner., 1939-04-20

The nickname Keystone" used for
Pennsylvania, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, is of doubtful origin, but
the theory given most credence is
that it was so named because of
its central position among the states
at the time of the adoption of the
Federal Constitution. Other theories
advanced are that the name is de-
rived from the arch of a bridge

Georgetown and Washington, D. c.,

DAUL REVERE didn't have such
a hard time of it in April, 1775,
when he rode Is miles on the best
turnpikes in the colonies to be the
inspiration for Longfellow's famous
poem. But when Symon Schermer-
hoorn, on the night of February 8,
1890, rode from Schenectady, NJ Y,
TO Fort Orange (Albany), he made
the most coura ageous ride in Ameri-
can history.
Symon was in the village of Sche-
nectady on the night it was de-
stroyed by the French and Indians.
He knew that the small garrison of
"a men could not resist very long
and that the attackers, flushed by
victory. probably would go on to

he collapsed.
The severe conditions under which
he made his ride are shown by the
fact that the French and Indians
were unable to continue their foray
and were forced to return to
Canada.
