Book Description
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered at the Celebration of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Battle of Bushy Run, August 5th and 6th, 1913 In 1763, Pontiac, Chief of 'the Ottawas, by far the shrewd est and most powerful'leader the Indian race has yet pro duced, united the northern and western tribes of his pe0p1e in a concerted effort to exterminate all white settlements be tween the lakes on the Northwest, the Ohio River on the South and East as far as Carlisle, at one blow. To this end, the great leader visited all the tribes of the Six Nations and, in the absence of calendars or the ability among the Indians to reckon time as we do, he gave to each of them a bundle of rods from which they were to extract a rod every morning and, when the last rod was drawn, they were to fall upon the white settlers nearest them, exterminate them and their families and besiege all intervening English forts. L the twelve larger forts in the territory west of Pittsburgh out lined above thus surrounded by the Indians, nine of them fell and most of their inmates were butchered in cold U. Western Pennsylvania, as far east as Carlisle, was plunged into a most deadly warfare. It was literally overrun and de vastated by the savage emissaries of the great leader.
