Spanish Hill and Carantouan:
The History, the
People and the Politics - by Deb Twigg
"The book Spanish Hill and Carantouan:The History,
the People and the Politics is a newer account of the Carantouan research that tells
the historical story with with more references and maps, documents and images and then
tells all of the stories that people have asked me to tell when I do presentations, to
include those efforts to preserve the hill, packed full of actual letters and documents
that I think the reader will find VERY interesting...from Ellsworth Cowles, Barry Kent,
Warren K. Moorehead, General John S Clark, Ted Keir, LD Shoemaker, the Murrays, there are
so many interesting stories to tell just about these people and how they effected our
local history...and the hill.... and then I continue with my research into the Mound
Builder culture and what I have concluded from it as it relates to the hill and the story
of Carantouan...and what I have come to believe Spanish Hill actually was used for."

The Sullivan Campaign by Ellsworth Cowles Ellsworth Cowles wrote articles for the local newspapers to
celebrate the Sullivan Campaign centennial. He did this by writing articles filled
historical documentation in sync with the dates throughout 1779.
There is one article exactly one year from the others in
1978, which gives you little known info about how Sullivan might not have ever marched at
all.
This is 72 pages including references

The
Indian Chiefs of Pennsylvania PB
C. Hale Sipe
A factual account of the Indian history of the America’s Eastern Frontier and the
contributions made by many outstanding chiefs in shaping our history. Originally published
in 1927, this 569 page book is one of the classics on Eastern Frontier Indian history.
From the formation of the Iroquois confederation in 1570 through Cornplanter’s death
in 1836, Sipe discusses the tribes that inhabited Pennsylvania and how their forced
migration westward (particularly the Delaware and Shawnee)across the Allegheny mountains
of Pennsylvania into the Ohio country lit the fires that would keep the western frontier
ablaze for the next forty years. Paperback-$30.00

Forts
on the Pennsylvania Frontier 1753-1758
William A. Hunter
Limited Edition Hardcover: Seldom does a book come along with the appeal and interest
a Forts of the Pennsylvania Frontier 1753-1758. With Pennsylvania’s Provincial Quaker

from frontier settler’s for protection on Pennsylvania’s western borders.
Unwillingly, Pennsylvania began an extensive program of military action culminating in the
building of forts on its frontier. By 1756 more than a dozen forts garrisoned by paid PA
troops marked for the first time a boundary between white frontier settlements and a
hostile wilderness.596 pages with 12 blank pages

Diplomacy and Indian Gifts: The French-English Rivalry for Indian
Loyalties during the French & Indian War Years
Wilbur R. Jacobs
It seems only once in a lifetime that a book comes along that really unlocks many of the
mysteries of a subject you have been studying for as long as you can remember. Diplomacy
and Indian Gifts is just such a book! From the beginning, I was always intrigued by the
old Indian custom of giving and receiving gifts and how this practice was used both for
and against them! During the course of the French and Indian War years, thousands of
pounds sterling was expended by both the French and the British in their diplomatic
competition to buy Indian friendship and loyalty through gift giving. Indian gifts and
their givers indeed made diplomatic history. Exceptional

The Wilderness
Chronicles - The Northwestern Pennsylvania wilderness was once the scene of many
events that had great significance on the history of Pennsylvania and the nation. The
deficiency of Pennsylvania historical literature and research, however, regarding these
important events in such a critical time period in our early history in this section of
Pennsylvania had long been recognized. With all of this in mind, the Pennsylvania
Historical Commission, under the guidance of noted historians Stevens and Kent, embarked
upon sponsorship of a WPA project to carry on a program of archeological and historical
research in NW PA. The Wilderness Chronicles is a selection of primary sources describing
these events and gives much credible evidence on the region’s connection to the
making of America. This book was originally published in 1941 and was not meant as a
history of the region but rather a collection of raw materials from which the history was
written. Wilderness Chronicles is still today, 60 years after its original publication,
the definitive source of primary material from this Upper Ohio Valley wilderness that a
new republic had its roots and a new nation was founded, The United States of America. One
of the most complete collections of key documents and correspondence relating to the F
& I & Pontiac’s War available to the public. Excellent collection of
materials found nowhere else 342 pp HB $ 25.00

Historical Map of Pennsylvania: with a History of
Indian Treaties and Land Titles
Edited by P.W. Sheafer & R.R. Wenning 1000 Limited Edition, Gold Embossed Hardback and
Full color Map
The “purchasing” of Indian land was done through a series of land treaties and
eventually resulted in one of the bloodiest periods in Pennsylvania history. This
“owning” of PA was a complicated, confusing and time-consuming process in PA
history that usually took years to complete. You cannot understand Pennsylvania history
completely without understanding this bloody progression from Indian land to
settler’s land and its effect on Indian-white relations. As we put together this
interesting and colorful history on the “taking or purchasing” of Pennsylvania
land from the Indians, we have attempted to shed some light on this process through the
pre-revolutionary war history of PA.
