HOKAVIAN MISSION ABIES AND INDIAN- SCAB*
The first settlement ever* made in Bea
ver Valleyby white men.was bya party
of Moravian Christians, whose primary
object in taking up their abode in the
yalley wilds, was to do good among the
ignorant and benighted aboriginals.
They had great influence .with the In
dians, gained as William Penn gained
his, by exercising a spirit of kindness to
ward them*. The history of .this settle
ment is related briefly as follows: A
party of Moravians were located at Saw
anakbannah on the Allegheny river, and
hearing of the great fertility of soil and
the excellent prospects of doing good in
Beaver Valley, they left this town, under
the leadership of Bev. Darnel Zeisberger,
on the 17th of April, 1770. They passed
down the Allegheny anid Ohio Tlvers, to
the month of the'Beaver, thence up this
stream in canoes to the Calls, where they
were compelled to stop, water navigation
being no farther practicable. They trans
ported and goods around the
falls by land and aftera great deal of
labor and effort, arrived at the Indian
town Easbka&hkee, already mentioned,
being there kindly received by the In
dians.
‘ Id a short time they- founded a settle
ment of their own, building a town and
calling it Friedstadt, or the “town of
Peace,” where they resided several years.
While here they instructed the Indians in
the principles of the Christian religion,
and it is said of them that they lived
most exemplary lives, and died in the
full faith of the religion taught them. In*
deed, it is related of a part of the Chris
tian Indians, that at one time a few of
them fell into the bands of a band of
white desperadoes and were doomed to
death. They underwent the most excru
ciating tortures without a murmur, sing
ing praises and Christian learned
from the Moravians, and were even exult
ing in the prospect that in a few brief
hours, they would be with their Redeem
er and beyond the pains and tortures of
this life. '
THE FIRST FORT BUILT.
During the progress of the Revolution
ary war, in the spring of the year 1778, a
fort was built on the side of the town of
Beaver, and named Fort Mclntosh, in
honor of the general who built and first
occupied it. It was built to : protect the
frontier from’ the attacks of the Indians,
tfho had become very troublesome to the
Americans under the incitements of the
British troops. History relates that Gen
eral Mclntosh was sent by the American
government with a small force of troops,
to the defence of the frontier outpost.
He descended the Ohio river from Fort
Pitt, with his little army of regulars and
militia, stopping afcthe mouth of Beaver
river, and built the fort on the elevated
grounds fronting the Ohio river.
The fort was made of strong stockades,
with four bastions and was defended by
one six pounder. The location was an
excellent one as a point -from which to
pursue or intercept the war parties of the
Indians, who were especially annoying
the settlements on the opposite side of
the river. It commanded the country for
miles in every direction, and at the same
time its soldiery were excellent targets
for Indian sharp shooters on the opposite
side of the Ohio river. They became so
: very troublesome that the commander of
i the fort, had a shed built over the path to
the river, under the cover of which water
was carried from the river to the fort.
The spot on which the old fort stood, is
v pointed out with pride to this day, by the
people of Beaver, and is one of their sa
cred spots.
About the time of the erection of the
■ fort, a block-house was built on the
■ grounds now covered by New Brighton.
The location of this old relic of the In
dian wars, is now occupied by a new
, frame bouse just built by James Thornily,
' Esq., on Main street. The selection of
this point certainly showed skill and fore
sight, as it commands the whole region
above it, beyond rifle shot, and was easy
of access. * '
This block house contained a garrison
as late as 179<J, commanded by Major
Tponey, probably as an outpost during
ttke Indian war of that period.
captain Brady’s adventure.
We have handed down to us, from, the 1
tongues of the early fathers of the coun- i
try, the following adventure of Captain 1
Brady, which will bear potting on paper.
It occorred, probably, about the close of
the Revolutionary war, while the coun
try was in a somewhat unsettled condi
tion, ahd the Indians very troublesome.
It is related that upon one of his scouting
expeditions, he found himself within the
walls of Fort Mclntosh, awaiting orders
"for future movements. In a short time,
be received instructions to return to Port
P.tt, which required him to pass, through
a part of the country continually infested
with roving bands of hostile Indians.
To prepare himself for any emergency,
that might arise on the route, he chose
for his campanlons, two men, equally as
brave and daring as himself, though not
so well accustomed' to Indian warfare,
qnd not possessing the facility of getting
out of bad scrapes, nor so good judgment
as that of Brady. Before leaving the fort,
they debated for Some time which side of
the river they should take—the one. they
were on,or the opposite side. Brady’s ad
vice was adopted and they remained, oh
UEY;
TTBS.
the side of the river they were then on,
which the seqnel proved to have been a
wise choice. They took up the line of
march and moved rapidly forwaad until
they came near to where Sewfckly now
stands, Where lived a man and his family
by the name of Oray. Gray was one of
those date-devil fellows, who feared noth
ing, and is always found in the advance ;
of the outposts. He had settled in a little
log cabin with hlsfamllyand was Id all 1
appearance enjoying undisturbed' pros
perity. Upon this day hewaraway from
home hunting and left I*l* and fun!-
ly in the cabin. Upon arriving near this
settlement, Brady had reason to suppose
that there were Indians near, and bidding
his men to remain blhind, he pushed for
ward to reconnoitre the ground. He had
gone but a short distance when he saw
Gray ahead of him and Immediately Step
ped back; into the woods to await his ap
proach. |
When Gray arrived before him, he sud
denly stepped forth and jerked him from
his horse, much to the astonishment of
Gray, who was about to offer a determin
ed resistance to such summary proceed
ings, whem Brady said to him, '“I am
Captain Brady; tor God's sake keep
quiet.”
This short sentence put to rest all com
batative proceedings on the part of Gray;
to whom! Brady at one* explained the
meaning of such treatment, which was to
keep him from falling into the hands of
the Indians who >were then uncomfortably
close. They advanced together quietly
to where Brady supposed the Indians to
be, when to their horror they saw in the
distance
THE BURNING OP GRAY’S CABIN,
and upon nearing it, found what was a
few hours before a quiet, peaceful home,
now a shapeless mass of ruins. The feel
ings of Gray can be better imagined than
described, while viewing this heart-sick
ening scene. They examined the rains,
but finding no bodies, knew at once that
the members of the family were captives.
Vengeance was sworn against the sava
ges. but as ho time could be lost, prepara
tions were at once made to pnrsne the In
dians. It was evident from the trail,
which was very plain, that there was a
large party of Indians and upon joining
the other two men a conference was held
as to the best course to be taken. There
was a division of opinion, some wishing
to go to .Fort Pitt and another to Fort
Mclntosh for help, but they were satisfied
to submit to Brady’s judgment, who, upon
considering the matter, simply said
J‘come.” His idea was that they most be
overtaken that night or pursuit would be
futile. The pursuit was then begun,
with the most eager anticipations, espe
cially on the part of Gray, who had such
large interests at stake. The pursuit was
begun about 2 o’clock p. m. Brady knew,
the country so well, that he seemed to
know by intuition what the In
dians would take, and wks not long in
making np his mind as fb the shortest
wAy to go, by which to intercept, if pos
sible, the parly.
Feeling certain that they would en
deavor to cross the Beaver river at a ford
by New Brighton, he shaped his course to
either intercept or overtake them at this
point. His conclusions were well found
ed, for upon arriving at a place where he
could see the course of the river for some
distance, he observed 13 Indians, with
the captives, filing up a deep ravine at
the base df the hill on which stands the
alnmrocks.near the bridge now connecting
Beaver Falls and New Brighton. They
passed up this ravine,and tromtheir move
ments Brady concluded that they would
encamp near what is now known as Bra
dy’s River, as it was an excellent point
there for camping and for secreting them
selves from the observation of any one.
A fight was now unavoidable and the odds
seemed all against the pursuing party,
and all were appalled at the prospect ex
cept Brady, They all looked to him for
counsel, perfectly willing to trust to his
advice and leadership, knowing from a
long experience that when he said fight,
that U meant victory. Gray saw his
wife and children surrounded by the In
dians, and terrible was the vengeance he
swore against the captors. Brady took
his men and advanced quietly to a point
at the Run where be could watch the
movements of the Indians. They got
within a very short distance of the
INDIAN CAMP AFTER DARK,
and awaited their opportunity. The In
dians ate their evening meal, during
which gave his orders for the
subsequent action of his men. They were
jto dependWogelher on the knife and the
tomahawk their fight with the Indians,
and were quietly to crawl to the "side of
the Indians while asleep, and in detail
stab to the heart each sleeper until the
whole parly was despatched. When the
Indians had fallen asleep, the r advance
was made, and when near the first sleeper
a twig was snapped which aroused him
and compelled a bait. In the course of
an hour, all was again quiet when another
advance was made, and this time they got
to the side of the sleeping and unconsci
ous savages, when the bloody work was
begun and kept up until every savage
but one was killed, who, when struck,
raised up with a great noise, but was]
quickly despatched by a blow from a tom
ahawk. The captives ran in alarm, but
finding that friends were at hand, return
ed and were again restored to their friends
and homes. The spring} by the side of
which the Indians camped was afterwards
called the “Bloody Spring,” in memory of
this most te«rible#tragedy and swift retri
bution. f ‘ '

mease Sacrifice of life and a great deal of
treaty making. On the 21st of January,
178$ a treaty was held at Fort Mclntosh,
between represehtatiyes of the United
States Government and the chiefs of the
Wyandot, Delaware, Chippewa and Otta
wa tribes of Indians, by which certain
reservations were granted and set apart
for the sole use of the Indians, and a
large extent of country was ceded to the
United States. This treaty, In connection
with that at Fort Sianwiz, in 1784, was
the firsti step r taken, and the means by
which the United States secured the In
dian titles to all the vast realms beyond
the Ohio, within certain prescribed lim
its, and which embraced the whole of
the extent of country called the BeaVer
Valley.
After all the costly and fearfully ex
hausting wars that had been waged for the
supremacy in this fine heritage, the arts
of peace and of diplomacy gave the dicis
lon in favor of the white man with his
civilization and enlightenment, without
materially wronging tbe original occu
pants of the soil, and.it is gratifying to re
member that in the valley of the i Beaver,
much was done to settle peaceably, snd
for all time to come, tbe disputes! which
had not only made desolate our own land,
but had as well convulsed the most pow
erful nations of Europe.
As showing the importance of this val
ley, as a national thoroughfare between,
the great lakes, and the Ohio river and.
itsoutletB.it is a source of pleasure to
notice a letter written by General Wash
ington on* the' 1 subject. The letter was
dated January 17,“ 1788, and was addressed
to Maj. Gen. Butter, written at,the in
stance of a committee of business men.
That portion which directly interests us,
reads as follows: “Would it be practica
ble, and not very expensive, to cut a canal
between the Cuyahoga and either of the
above rivers (Big Beaver and Muskingum)
so as toPpen a communicalion-between
the waters of Lake Erie and those of the
Ohio?” Beaver.
