Ngo-1798, izifiki zokuqala zaseMelika ezivela empumalanga zafika eWestern Reserve yase-Ohio. Baqala ukugawula amahlathi ngasogwini oluseningizimu yeLake Erie. Futhi kule nqubo, bathola izakhiwo eziningi zobumba zasendulo futhi cishe yonke indawo amaphuzu omkhonto enziwe ngobunono nezinye izinto zobuciko bomphakathi wendabuko owalibaleka isikhathi eside futhi owake waba nabantu abaningi - abantu ngokusobala abahluke kakhulu kumaNdiya aseMassasauga ngaleso sikhathi ayehlala kulelo zwe.
Isizukulwane sangaphambi kokuba abahloli bamazwe bokuqala bokufika basentshonalanga yePennsylvania naseningizimu ye-Ohio bathole into efanayo: ukwakhiwa komhlaba okubanzi kwaseCircleville naseMarietta, e-Ohio, kwase kumenyezelwe kahle ngesikhathi isifiki u-Aaron Wright nabangane bakhe beqala ukucekela phansi amakhaya abo amasha. IConneaut Creek, endaweni eyayizoba yi-Ashtabula County, e-Ohio.
Ukutholwa okuyinqaba kuka-Aaron Wright ngo-1800
Mhlawumbe kwakungenxa yokuthi wayeyinsizwa engashadile enamandla amaningi, noma mhlawumbe kwakungenxa yokuthi ukukhetha kwakhe umuzi kwakuhlanganisa nenqwaba yezindlu. “umakhi wezindunduma” indawo yokungcwaba. Noma ngabe bekuyini izizathu, u-Aaron Wright wehle ezincwadini zomlando njengomtholi womlando "Conneaut Giants," izakhamuzi zasendulo ezinamathambo amakhulu ngokungajwayelekile zase-Ashtabula County, e-Ohio.
Ku-akhawunti ka-1844, u-Harvey Nettleton wabika ukuthi lokhu “izindawo zokungcwaba zasendulo ezingaba amahektha amane” yakhiwe endaweni ngokushesha eyaba idolobhana laseNew Salem (kamuva elaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi iConneaut), "inweba ibheke enyakatho isuka osebeni lomfula iya kuMain Street, esikweleni esiyi-oblong."
U-Harvey Nettleton waphawula ku-akhawunti yakhe:
“Amathuna asendulo ayehlukaniswa ngemigodi emincane eyayisebusweni bomhlaba ebekwe emigqeni eqondile, enezikhala, noma imihubhe, ehlanganisa yonke indawo. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi iqukethe amathuna ayizinkulungwane ezimbili kuya kwezintathu.
Lokhu kucindezeleka, ekuhlolweni okuphelele okwenziwe ngu-Esq. U-Aaron Wright, ekuqaleni kwawo-1800, watholakala engaguquguquki equkethe amathambo abantu, aba mnyama ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, okuthi lapho echayeka emoyeni avele adilike abe uthuli.
Amathuna angaphambi komlando ezweni lika-Aaron Wright ayephawuleka ngokwanele, ngobukhulu bawo kanye nokumiswa kwamathuna; kodwa yilokho okwakukulawo mathuna nasezidulini zokungcwaba eziseduze okwathatha ukunaka kukaNettleton.
Izindunduma ezakhiwe engxenyeni esempumalanga yendawo manje ebizwa ngokuthi idolobhana laseConneaut kanye nenkundla yokungcwaba enkulu eduze neSonto LaseHabe kubonakala sengathi yayingahlobene nezindawo zokungcwaba amaNdiya. Ngokungangabazeki zibhekisela enkathini ekude kakhulu futhi ziyizinsalela zohlanga olwalungasekho, amaNdiya ayengenalo ulwazi ngalo.
Lezi zindunduma zazizincane ngokuqhathaniswa, futhi zinesimo esifanayo salezo ezihlakazeke kakhulu ezweni lonke. Okuphawuleka kakhulu ngabo ukuthi phakathi kwenani lamathambo abantu abawaqukethe, kutholakala izibonelo zamadoda amakhulu, okumele ngabe ayecishe ahlangene nohlanga lwemidondoshiya.
Izigebhezi zathathwa kulezi zindunduma, imigodi eyayinamandla anele ukuvuma ikhanda lendoda evamile, kanye namathambo omhlathi ayengase afakwe ebusweni ngendlela elinganayo.
Amathambo ezingalo nezitho ezingezansi ayenezilinganiso ezifanayo, okubonisa ubufakazi besimo sengqondo sokuwohloka kohlanga lwesintu kusukela esikhathini lapho la madoda ehlala khona enhlabathini esihlala kuyo manje.”
Lokho uNehemiya King akuthola ngo-1829
I-akhawunti kaNettleton yasakazwa kabanzi ngenkathi ifinyezwa ku-Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio, 1847. U-Howe ubhala ngoThomas Montgomery no-Aaron Wright beza e-Ohio entwasahlobo ka-1798, kanye nokutholakala okulandelayo kwe- “indawo yokungcwaba ebanzi” kanye of “amathambo omuntu atholakala ezindundumeni” eseduze.
U-Howe uphinda umbiko wokuthi phakathi kwala mathambo angamboziwe, “Kwakungabanye bamadoda anesakhiwo esikhulu.” Ubuye asitshele ukuthi ngo-1829, isihlahla sagawulwa kanjani eduze nesasendulo "Fort Hill e-Conneaut" nokuthi umnikazi wendawo wendawo, “UMhlonishwa. UNehemiya King, ephethe ingilazi yokukhulisa, wabala izindandatho zonyaka ezingu-350” ngale kwezimpawu zokusikwa eduze nendawo yesihlahla.
UHowe uphetha ngokuthi: “Ukudonswa kuka-350 ku-1829 kushiya u-1479, okumele kube unyaka okwanqunywa ngawo lokhu. Lokhu kwakuyiminyaka eyishumi nantathu ngaphambi kokutholwa kweMelika nguColumbus. Mhlawumbe kwakwenziwa umjaho wezindunduma, ngembazo yethusi, njengoba abantu babenekhono lokuyenza lukhuni leyo nsimbi ukuze bagawule njengensimbi.”
Ngonyaka ofanayo umlando kaHenry Howe wase-Ohio wavela enye incwadi ethakazelisayo yanyatheliswa yi-Smithsonian Institution, enesihloko esithi. Izikhumbuzo Zasendulo ze-Mississippi Valley. Kulowo mbiko ka-EG Squier kanye no-EH Davis kuvela incazelo yokuqala eyaziwayo eshicilelwe "Fort Hill," lelo zwe eliyinqaba langaphambi kwe-Columbian elisendaweni kamakhelwane ka-Aaron Wright, uNehemiya King.
