While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A- Pennsylvania Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Alamingo. A village of hostile Delawares(?) in 1754,
probably on Susquehanna r., Pa.; possibly the people of Allemoebi, the "king" of
the Delawares, who lived at Shamokin about 1750 (Drake Trag. Wild., 153, 1841).
Atrakwaye (probably 'at the place of the sun', or
south). A palisaded town of the Conestoga, situated in 1608 on the E. side of
Susquehanna r. , below the forks at Northumberland, in Northumberland co., Pa.
Probably identical with the Quadroque of Smith's map of Virginia, whereon it is
placed from information derived by Smith directly from the Susqnehanna
(Conestoga). The Journal of the Jesuits for 1651-52 states that during the
winter of 1652 this town was taken by 1,000 Iroquois warriors who, with a loss
of 130 men, carried away 500 or 600 captives, chiefly men. Atrakwaye was the
seat of the Akhrakouaeronon, a division of the Conestoga. (.T. N. B. H. )
Attaock. A
Conestoga village existing in 1608 w. of Susquehanna r. , probably in what
is now York co., Pa. Smith (1608), Virginia, I, map, repr. 1819.
Attique. A village, probably of the Seneca, that stood
in 1749 on the present site of Kittanning, Pa.
