This Seneca name describes it as the place where the beautiful rivers meet or the low place where the beautiful rivers meet. The name first appears on the lead plate planted by Celeron de Bienville in 1749 at the place we know as Pittsburgh. It is appropriate to title an account of the early history of western Pennsylvania using this name, thus The Land of Dayaogeh. It is a narrative account of the people and events that shaped western Pennsylvania from the earliest habitation to the arrival of the civilization of today. It covers a time frame from approximately 12,000 BC to 1800 AD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story contains over 2,600 indexed names of the people and places that are part of that history. It describes how a wilderness yielded to many cultures before the civilization of today came to be. It also tells how the land shaped those individuals and that civilization. Much of the story is told in the words of those who were a part of it. They tell of the trials and tribulations, the successes and failures, which shaped their lives. They tell of the establishment of homes, villages, towns, and institutions that define the civilization of today. For those who are interested in the story of early western Pennsylvania this book provides a complete account of that history. A list of references is included for those who wish to add to their knowledge. Index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Robert E.

I was married the 23rd day of May 1773, and sailed from Londonderry the 9th day of August 1773, and landed in Baltimore the 16th day of October 1773. My son Matthew was born the 9th day of March 1774.”\nWith these words Thomas Bigger began his autobiography.  He never added to these words. This book uses family records and historical documentation to finish the story Thomas began. It is the story of one of the first families to settle in what is today Washington County of Pennsylvania. It tells of their trials and tribulations and how their faith helped them to bring dreams to reality. It tells of the historical events they witnessed and people they met as a wilderness surrendered to civilization. Among those others are names like Captain Samuel Beelor, Chief Logan, Colonel William Crawford, Matthew Dillow, and George Washington.
