The Land of Dayaogeh: Pittsburgh and Western PA 10,000 BC to 1800 AD
|
| |
| There is a place where two rivers meet and create a third -- known to the Seneca Indians as Oyo - The Beautiful River. The Seneca knew this place as Da-ya-o'-geh, or The low place where the Beautiful River meets. Today we know Dayaogeh as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the location of industry and finance, where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers become the Ohio River. The land along these rivers has been changed by the waters of the Beautiful Rivers as it has channeled their flow. As the waters have flowed upon the land so have many races of the humankind. They, like the waters of the millennia, have changed the land and have been changed by that land. This is the story of the people and the changes left by their passage. Unlike most books about history, this account tells the stories of those who made history -- often in the words they would have used to describe the experience. This allows the reader to be a part of the events that are the history of southwestern Pennsylvania from 10,000 BC through the 18th Century. It reveals much about the true heroes and villains who were part of the events that are the history of The Land Of Dayaogeh. Included are maps and an index of over 2,500 names of the people who were a part of the history of the Land of Dayaogeh. By Bob Cole Soft cover 536 pgs |
