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." - Deb Twigg

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

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 controlled pacifist government slow to react to the
mounting tension from Indian attacks and the on going French and Indian
War on its wilderness borders, pressure was growing 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.

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.

Thirty
Thousand Miles with John Heckewelder
Ed. Paul A. Wallace
This collection of Heckewelder materials, gathered by one of America’s
great writer/historians, Paul Wallace, follows America’s most observant
early traveler, John Heckewelder through the Eastern woods as he
recorded the most significant knowledge we have today on the Indian life
and pioneer history of our Eastern frontier. He writes: “The sure way to
obtain ideas, and a true knowledge of the characters, customs, manners,
etc., of the Indians, and to learn their history, is to dwell among them
for some time, and having acquired their language, the information
wished for will be obtained in the common way; that is, by paying
attention to their discourses with each other on different subjects, and
occasionally asking them questions; always watching for the proper
opportunity, when they do not suspect your motives, and are disposed to
be free and open with you.”

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

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.
