(., or the best essay on t'e hir:tory of "ek'n i couity.) I.oeit year;s ago i the etrlicr his -.(Iry of the colonial days of our coul .y all this country belonged to the English Crown. About 17:30 it attract t-Il the attention of the inglish king who 'ent Alexandler Cummings across he Atlantic to treat with the chiefs < f the Cherokees, as the struggle be tween England and France for the toss5Ssion of heart of this continent nad just begun. Cumminilgs pushed his way southward through the almost iulbroken wilderness until he reached he Indian village of Keowee, and there he made a treaty of friendship with the Cherokees, which made them :,llies of the English against the 'rench. This town of Keowee was within the limits of old Pendleton district and its sight is near Nimmon's i ridge over Keowee river. , A bout 25 years later or about. 1 775 1,e colonial governor, .Ja... Glenn, moade another treaty with the Indians, .curing vast tract,, of land, but the msost important, of which was to erect forts in the Indian territory, ostensi oly for the proteetion of the back country. One of the forts was Prince 'eorge erected on the opposite side t f the river from the Indian village -f Keowee and within cannon shot of .t. This spot is noted as the starting Point of the famous run of the In 'iian maid, Cateechee, to reach Nine.. ly-Six to warn the garrison of a con iemplated Indian rising, her main ob ject being to save her white lover, 'who was a British otlicer. This fort 'as just a mile from the first creek she crossed, and to this day it is call ed One Mile Creek, and others she 'named in her run were: Three Mile Five Mile, Six Mile, Nine Mile, Twelvt Mile, Fifteen Mile, Eighteen Mile, Three-and-Twenty and Six-and Twenty. After she crossed the Six a.nd-TIwenty she struck a ridge which :'uns to Ninety Six without crossing a ,streami. So we seev that almost a century ad a half ago this region now known :.s Andlerson, Pickens and Oconee -tunties, was the home of the Chero *ee JIndians. Sometime about I1778 Gen. Andrew '1icke'ns, one of the most faithful and tcarless of the panrtisan leaders, made Streaty with the Indians b~y which iBey cededl tils territory to the state. The treaty wvas known as the treaty f Ilopewell, aund until at few years - %go thei huge oak under wvhich the veaty was made was stanttding~ near :ite old Stone' church. A bout 1 778 these latnds lately cc * ed by the Indians by the act o'f the 'gislature. were includend in Ninety 9'x district and for some years the :turts were held( at. Ninety Six. In 1783 Washington county was 'tected, which as near as I can find aut included wvhat was later Pendle Ien district, and also Greenville with uthe county seat att Pickensville, and Tne dlungeon of the jail hewni out of "ek is still to be sea there. Pickens 'u-lle is one among the oldest places of historie interest connected with P'iekens. It was onice a seat of justice, now a widle place ini the roadi, with all 4s glory dlepartedl, but long ago it was ai noted place, noted first as a point .A which the circusses, which in those daysi traveled through the country, ..iys stoppled for an exhibition on the trip from Greenville to Anderson, --nd the whole country side clear te she nioutains would be there, for it wVas an event ini their' lives "'Villikin. *.ndl his Dinah," niot. onie, b~ut maniy o1 Phem, would be there, he ini his cop. jerams bareechies and brogan shoes, ant *he inl her linsey-woolsey and sun *ionnet, and they wvould feast on tht :ong rows of wagonis with their whit< - .Lovered tops loatded with ginger caki and beer'. It was a life of Arcadiar simplicity. Hlut the most nlotedl even perhaps connected with o1(d Pickens ville in the 01(1 days was the cai iauster which all the militiamien fron -Ihe upper dhivisionl which took in al the districts as far down as 14dgefield r'anmped and mustered and dIrilledI es State of Ohio.
