mer, from
whence it rolls gradually and falls into the Susquehanna."

[57] QUAILUTIMACK, seven miles from Lackawanna, signifying "_we came
unawares upon them_." A place between the steep mountain and the
river, said to have been the place of an Indian battle. The camp was
on a "spot of ground situated on the river open and clear, containing
about twelve hundred acres, soil very rich, timber fine, grass in
abundance, and contains several springs."--_Hubley's Journal._

[58] VAN DER LIPPE'S.--Now Black Walnut in the town of Meshoppen,
Wyoming County. So called from a tory of that name, who was the first
settler, above the Lackawanna, who previous to this time had abandoned
the valley, and afterward died in Canada. During this day's march the
army passed over Indian Hill, where Col. Hartley had a battle with the
Indians the previous year.

[59] WYALUSING. At present Wyalusing in Bradford County.--"Passing up
the river we came to a place called by the Indians Gohontoto. Here
they tell us was in early times an Indian town, traces of which are
still noticeable, e.g., corn pits, &c., inhabited by a distinct nation
(neither Aquinoschioni, i.e., Iroquois, nor Delawares) who spoke a
peculiar language and were called TEHOTITACHSAE; against these the
Five Nations warred, and rooted them out. The Cayugas for a time held
a number of them, but the nation and their language are now
exterminated and extinct. This war, said the Indian, fell in the time
when the Indians fought in battle with _bows and arrows_ before they
had guns and rifles."--_Cammerhoff & Zeisberger's Journal_, 1750. This
was also the seat of the Moravian mission of Friedenshtuten,
established in 1765, abandoned in 1772. This was about a mile below
Wyalusing Creek, on the farms now occupied by G.H. Wells and J.B.
Stafford. Rogers devotes several pages to a description of this town.

[60] NEWTYCHANNING.--This day Col. Proctor destroyed the first Indian
town, named Newtychanning, containing about twenty houses, located on
the west side of the Susquehanna, on the north side of Sugar Creek
near North Towanda. Sullivan says it contained twenty-two houses;
Canfield, that it was built the preceding year and contained from
fifteen to twenty houses. This was near the site of Oscalui, of a
previous date, and the same site called Ogehage, on Captain
Hendricksen's map of 1616, and was then one of the towns of the
Carantouannais, an Iroquois tribe destroyed or driven out by the
