But at the treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768 the Iroquois sold the land to the Penns and it became one of the vantage points of the Pennamate War. : During the Revolution Wyalusing was the meeting place for hostile In- dians and Tories, and signal fires flared from the great rocks high above the Susquehanna. When General Sul- livan reached there in 1779 successive raids by the hostile Indians had driven the Christian Indians from their homes to seek shelter with the Moravians further South near Bethlehem. Sulli- van found the old site nearly deserted. Today there is little teft to remind one of the early settlers except the log cabins which now accommodate tour- ists, and the large Log Cabin In. The only signal fires are the lights of the cars passing this famous beauty spot.
