Rocks. But before General Sullivan en-
camped there in August, 1779, the place
was the aite of one of the oldest In-
dian settlements in America, Its former
Indian name was M’hwikilusing, the
place of the gray warrior: this prob-
ably referred to a venerated chief or
brave who had lived there in the past.
Where now there is & never-ending
stream of automobiles moving uphill
and down dale, there was once the
Wyalusing Trail, Not more than two
feet wide, cut through the virgin for-
est, it was worn to a depth of eighteen
inches by the soft moccasined feet of
generations of red tmen; by war parties
speeding silently to an appointed place,
or by lingering hunters and braves
who, in times of peace paused to leave
some record of their activities on hem-
lock and white birch.
Moravian Missionaries visited the
village in 1750, and later in 1763 made
a mission settlement there under a

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.
With the increased traffic of the last
few years the fame of Wyalusing's
beauty has spread to many other
states, while the historical background
lends it a romantic halo.
