whites and Indians together. He had
been an advocate of peace from the
beginning, declaring that the red
men could not win over such numbers
and the whites more modern equip
ment.
In the summer Of 1777 Old Corn
stalk went to Point Pleasant to again
assure the whites Of his desire for
continued peace with them. His son,
Ehnipsico, accompanied him. Alone
in cabin there that afternoon, the
two heard sshufffing steps coming
from outside. The son trembled vio-
lently-he was afraid of the treaeher-
Gus whites.
BE not afraid the father counsel
ed the boy, IF the Great Spirit has
sent US here to be killed, we will die
together" As the white men ad-
vanced through the door Cornstalk
stood up to meet them. They fired
and seven bullets passed through the
great chiefs body. His grave may be
seen at Point Pleasant today.
Citizens there declare: "Old Corn
stalk put curse on this town and
it's still there. The town never did
any good since"
Had Old Cornstalk lived he would
have been friendly with the whites
He had come there that day to tell
the Americans that the Indians wish
ed to unite with them and the British
against the French. Maybe the Point
Pleasant citizens are right-the towr
has grown but little in 172 years.
