The author, I. Daniel Rupp paints a truly historical portrait of Pennsylvania in this fine treatise. It was published in Pittsburg (sic) by A.P. Ingram for subscribers only, and simultaneously in Harrisburg by W.O. Hickok, in 1847.
The history of Pennsylvania began in 1681 when William Penn received a royal charter from King Charles II of England, but human activity in the region precedes that date. Before Pennsylvania was settled by Europeans, the area was home to the Lenape, Susquehannock, Iroquois, Erie, Shawnee and other Native American tribes. Most of these tribes were driven off or reduced to remnants as a result of new diseases such as smallpox that arrived long before any permanent colonists.
Daniel W. Kaufmann, the publisher, writes: “The work now in progress, the result of much research, offered for public patronage, will, as its title imports, embrace the early History of the first visits of Europeans to the Mississippi Valley, to the West of Pennsylvania, all the principal Early Settlements on the Ohio, and its several tributaries;
a detailed account of the causes that led to the French War, and the Indian Wars; the formation and progress of the Ohio Land Company, 1748; Conrad Weiser\'s mission to Logstown, 1748;
George Washington\'s mission to the French commandant at Le Boeuf, 1753; the erecting of a Fort, at or near the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela; its surrender to the French; the erection of Fort Du Quesne;
George Washington\'s Expedition; capitulation of Fort Necessity, in 1751; General Braddock\'s arrival, progress of his march, defeat, Sec, 1755;
St. Clair\'s Expedition and defeat, 1791; Wayne\'s Expedition and treaty with the Indians, 1793, \'95; battle of Tippecanoe, 1811; Mississinewa Expedition, 1812; siege of Fort Meigs, &c, 1812; Border war in the West, and capture of Blach Hawk, 1833.”
