retreated westward and sixteen years
of fighting over the question (and possibly a few bribes) had settled it
to the white man's satisfaction. The Indians always had to yield or get
out." This is essentially the point which Dr. Wallace made to me in his
letter of Feb. 16, 1961.

[20] Elsie Singmaster, _Pennsylvania's Susquehanna_ (Harrisburg, 1950),
p. 87. Her Pine Creek description (while describing tributaries of the
Susquehanna) speaks of the gorge as the upper course of Pine Creek,
which is now part of Harrison State Park. Here, she says, "The rim is
accessible by a paved highway, and from there one may look down a
thousand feet and understand why the Indians called the stream
Tiadaghton or Lost Creek."

[21] Edmund A. DeSchweinitz, _The Life and Times of David Zeisberger_
(Philadelphia, 1871), p. 133. Further evidence of DeSchweinitz'
confusion is found in his Geographical Glossary in the same book. On
page 707, he calls the Great Island, Lock Haven; on page 709, he calls
Long Island, Jersey Shore; and on page 713, he refers to Pine Creek as
the Tiadaghton, "also called Diadaghton."

[22] The term "New Purchase" was frequently used, both officially and
otherwise, to designate the area on the north side of the West Branch of
the Susquehanna from Lycoming Creek to the Great Island, although in
actuality the purchase line terminated at Lycoming Creek.

[25] Wallace mistakenly attaches the appellation "Limping Messenger" to
"a foot-sore Indian named Anontagketa," _ibid._, p. 220. However, this
error was corrected in a letter to this writer, August 24, 1962.
