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!
With the
description I could not tell where these villages,
towns and settlements were located, as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Anilco. A village, probably Quapaw, presumably on the
s. side of Arkansas r., and said to contain 5,000 people when visited by De Soto
s army in 1542.
Apontigoumy. An
Ottawa village, attacked by the
Seneca in 1670. Courcelles (1670) in N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., ix, 788, 1855.
Astialakwa. A former pueblo of the Jemez, on the summit
of a mesa that separates San Diego and Guadelupe canyons at their mouths. It was
probably the seat of the Franciscan mission of San Juan, established early in
the 17th century. Distinct from Ostyalakwa.
Autiamque. The town, possibly Caddoan, where De Soto's
troops went into winter quarters in 1541-42. It had an abundance of maize and
provisions, and lay on the same river as Cayas, apparently Arkansas r.
Awighsaghroone. A tribe, probably Algonquian, that
lived about the upper great lakes and which sent a friendly message to the
Seneca in 1715. Perhaps identical with the Assisagigroone, or Missisauga.
