INDIAN STORY.
(Continued From Page 4.)
They made regular trips to the main
land for game, and extended the raids
as far south as the Milwaukee—or as it
was then known, the Maniwacky river.
They had temporary villages near the
outlets of all the principal rivers. One
summer, about the year 1700 they found
that a large body of Chippewas had in
vaded their hunting grounds, of which
they were very jealous. War was at
once proclaimed. The Braves assembled
on Washington Island, and in pa'nt and
feathers, with quivers bristling with
arrows, with tomahawk and scalping
knife they set out in a large flotilla of
canoes, a miniature “Invincible Armada’’
for the battle ground. But when they
reached the middle of the channel a
furious squall came up, which scattered
and capfized the frail canoes, and hun
dreds of the savages were drowned.
For many days their bodies were washed
on the shores of Detroit island, jus
south of Washington. The Indians
buried their dead, and overcome with
superstition and dread, for had not the
Great Spirit favored the Chippewas?
They deserted these islands forever,
many of them moving to Southern
Michigan.
Some years later, so writes S. (J.
Stumhaugh an Indian agent, a largo
number of Indians were lost near the
rock known as Table lioch, the northern
most point of the main land. “'There
was and is still a table in the lake al
most immediately under the blult, pre
senting a face of solid rock perhaps
thirty feet square. A hand of Indians
in canoes on their way to some of the
Fre; ch trading posts halted at this
place for the purpose of resting and
taking some refreshments; and while
seated on this stone table which then
projected about three feet above the
surface of the water, a storm arose, sud
denly, which swept over the rock il
tremendous sea, and dashed their canoes
to pieces. The bluff of rocks was too
steep to scale, and the poor creatures
having no other means of escape, but
trusting to the waves to drive them
ashore at some distance from the fatal
spot nearly all perished. In memory
of this fatal day. on the face of the
rocks fifteen or twenty feet above the
surface of the water there are figures of
Indians and canoes painted Indian
fashion, which must have been done
with much difficulty, and by the help
of scaling ladders during a dead calm
on the lake. "
Since these calamaties this channel
has been called I‘url (h* .1 fnrhs, or death's
door. And to this day it deserves the
name. <hi either end of Pilot Island,

As the Pottawatamies and Winneba
gos vacated some of their ancient haunts
ihe Chippewas of the Lake Superior re
gion took their places. They were a
brave and adventurous tribe, and expert
hunters. They were generally at war

the Iroquois, or with the Sacs and Fox
es. The Menomonies. IVutih ut flu Wihl

and well built, who derived their name

scendants still reside on the Shawano
reservation.

journed in the southern part of this
country. They came originally from
the St. Lawrence river country, but they
were a wailike and uncompanionable
race, at outs with every other tribe.
; Gradually they were driven west to
j Lake Huron. Lake Superior and at
length to the Fox river of Wisconsin,
where they were ever at war w ith all
other tribes, with the French, and at
last with the English and the Ameri
j cans. Their last war w r as under the
! great chief Black Hawk. At thai time
they dwelt in Southwestern Wisconsin.
I Saginaw and Ozaukee derive their
names from these tribes. The latter be
ing the Indian name f r Sacs. The
1 Foxes called themselves Out agamies.
The French called them Les Raynards.
In 17tlo the .Menomonies took a leading
part in the celebrated battle at Butte
de Morts. tin hill of tin ilt ad. a lew miles
west of Oshkosh. In 1754 the son of the
tirst white settler in Wisconsin Charles
de Langlade, who had married an Otta
wa maiden, and had great influence
with the Indians, invited the warriors
of all tlie tribes within many days trav
el from Green Bay, to repair to that
point for a talk. Every village was rep
resented, Wimiehagos, Pottowatomies,
Menomonies, ( hippeways, Ottawas and
other tribes responded to the i all. Un
der the leadership of de Langlade these
Indians repaired to Fort <lu Quesue and
took part in the sanguinary defeat of
Braddock. The English were at dinner
and de Langlade urged the French cap
tain, Beaujen, to attack, which the tim
id though supercillious officer refused
to do. But when de Langlade threaten
ed to withdraw with his Indians if the
battle was not began nt onee. t lie
command was given, Beaujen was kill
til. Braddock mortally wounded, and
Washington conducted the retreat and
' established his reputation as a soldier.
The slaughter of the British was fright

| their lives. < >ui of eighty oliie*-rs sixty
I three were killed. Their hand- me uni
forms and helmets served to adorn the
savage foes, and many a trophy of inis
battle subsequent!} decorated Indian
lodges in Manitowoc county, side by side
with the bloody proofs of the Indians'
prowess, were the scalps of Braddnek's
men. In 17‘>8 these Indians took part in the
successful defense of Ticonderoga a .rainst
Abercrombie. In 17 o'.) their greed was
responsible for the bloody vnussaive at
Fort William Hcary. In 17d:i they
fought the English in the Pontiac war.
Two years later de Langlade again gath
ered his Indians and proceeded in canoes
toQuebeck. and on thel’lains of Abraham
where both Wolfe and Montcalm lost
their lives, they bought for the French
cause.
When (jueheck surrendered and the
English occupied the French outposts,
the Indians and the French bushranger*
entered the employ of then- new rulers
to serve again t the Americans or
lomj kulfts during the Revolutionary
war. They were offered a bonn
ty for every American >calp by (ica.
Hamilton who was hetiod'orth known bv
the name, ••the hair buyer. An Eng
lish gunboat was sent to cruise along
the west shore of Lake Michigan for the
purpose of inciting the Indians against
the Americans. In 17s:> some of these
lame Indians were sent to attack the
Spanish settlements on the west side of
the-Mississippi, hut nothing was accom
plished. In INI I the Fottawatamies
fought under Tecumseh at Tippecanoe.
iNpithe Indians assembled at Green
Bay to again join the English. The
French traders generally held commis
sions in the English army.
In 1882 during the Black Hawk war
j the Winnebago Indians were the alley*
iof the whites against the Sacs and Fox
es. After this date the Indians of this
county were generally peaceful and ex
changed their venison, peltries or ber
ries with those who first put up their
rude shanties for settlement. In 1532
there were many Indians at the site of
the Manitowoc, and the Twin rivers,
but in 1835 very few were seen by the
first settlers of this county. But the
country lying along the lake shore north
of Two Rivers was ever a favored resort
as is proven by the innumerable relics
that are found in the sand along five or
six miles of file lake shore. Here, where
the waves sang perpetually was the
burying ground of many a tribe. Here
were heard the lamentations of the
squaws, and the weird chants of the
warrior.
And til,’ melancholy flr trees
Waved their dark green fans, above him
Waved their purple eanes above him.
Mingling witn his lamentations.
Their complaining, their lamenting.
And here the hist bands of Menomon
ies lingered until late in the sixties, no
longer the proud and noble savage, of
old, but sorry vagabonds, ragged and
debased, who were rendered happy when
they were permitted to gather np the
leavings of the whites at the new settle
menfs, of whom they adopted new vices
and contracted new diseases. They
hung around the fish shanties where
they gathered np the off-fall which they
carried to their kettles on the lakeshore
to extract the oil. This they exchanged
for vile fire water at the settlement. <)n
their return a grand feast was held on
the remnants of fish off-fall in the ket
tles and the whiskey. One of a num
ber of Indians who visited Two Rivers
frequently was known as Indian Mary.
She had a lighter complexion than her
companions, was rather good looking
and was probably the descendant of
some white roun in dn liofa; but she was
a vixen when drunk or aroused. ( )ne
day while in her unsteady canoe in the
river she rose to her feet for some pur
pose, when a young while man, to
frighten her called out "Look out Mary.'’
She turned suddenly, her canoe capsized
and she wa spilled into t he water, much
to the amusement to those on shoe.
With a cry of rage she struck out ft -r
the shore. The young man took to his
heels, but Mary was tleet-footed, and
soon overtaking him, she drew her knife
and plunged it into his hack. lie was
laid np for many a day. but finally re
covered.
(>n another occasion during one of
those lake shore feasts Mary had 1 1,
altercation with the chief of the band,
and. with her ever ready knife she sur
prised the old gentleman by gouging
out one of ins eyes. In consternation
all the Indians at oncedeparted for the
woods. Tsoy returned after many
weeks, and not only was the chief po- .
us one eye. but V-ir - 'a o die also ,
been remit ed sightless. Thus was the
Indian’s idea of justice like the ancient
law of Moses, “An eye for an eye."
Between I*3o and |M5u the I’ottawa
lomics. Wimiehagos, Oliippewas and
Menomonies, all of whom claimed tin
country of which Manitowoc county is a
part eeeded their rights to the govern
meiit. and in the course of a tew years
retired to the reservations assigned to
them. The Menomouie is the only
tribe that has retained in part at least
its ancestral home Shawano reserva
tion. In ISiiT ('hippewas had a village
at Cato Falls, whose Chief, Misehe cot or
“Mexico as the whitit s called him, was
1 ’ir the good friend of the new settlers.
He died in IM'-i and was buiied in
Town of Rapids. In Isis a haml of 50(1
Menomouie warriors with their women
and children had then l winter ( imps mi
the Manitowoc river, where the depot
of the city of Chilton now stands, under
a chief known as Littleway. In is.v.l
Menomouie Indians had planting
grounds in the town of Schleswig, and
as late as IWJ Indians sojourned near
Two Rivers.
Many ot the buck, efte.i came to the
villages, with their horse-s. dogs, squaws
and |a 1 -es. to trade >r beg or to
show their duskv babies for lie- con
sideration tuti penny or two. or to (lis
pin' tin ir skid with the bow and
arrow.
'I he hol es were generally gaudily
arrayed with sleighbells and baughs,
and the Indians delighted to ride them
at a full gallop, whooping and yelling
the w hile in I heir wild joy and pride
In |s.‘>o a party of Menomonies who
had been indulging in their enst unary
feast of ti*h ulf fal, iiinl whisky at Two
Fivers were taken wick with small] ox.
Twelve of them died, and were hnru-d
in the sand of the lake shore. The con
tagion spread. < >ut of three hundred
white people in the vi.iage fifty died.
The remains ot many of these red
men who succumbed to this frightful
disease may now he viewed as prize
bones in many a relic hunter's Indian
cabinet.
Though the Indians in this county
seldom molested a white, when nearly
all of them had departed for their
assigned reservations, or had ascended
to the perpetual home of the Brave, they
were the cause of the worst fright that
our citiz-us ever ex|erienced. I refer
to the so called “Indian Scare.”
