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,

Parish system prevailed in the low
