Excerpt from Historical Essays: Indians, Teedyuscung, Old Forge, Early Methodism, Coal; Its Antiquity, Sabbath Sunday "Alas! for them their day is o'er, Their fires are out from shore to shore.No more for them the wild deer bounds, The plough is on their hunting grounds;The pale man's axe rings through their woods, The pale man's sail skims o'er their floods;Their children - look, by power oppressed, Beyond the mountains of the West -Their children go - to die." When the Europeans first discovered the Western Continent they found it inhabited by human beings. They called them Indians, because they thought they had arrived at the eastern coast of India - that great country for which they had so anxiously sought a short passage. Though erroneously applied the name then given them remains unchanged. All Europeans had been taught to call them by this name; they recognized them by it, and they could not change it. It is not known that a change of name was even suggested, much less attempted, and it is possible that these Indians received the right name by accident, though their discoverers found them in a great country, far removed from the continent, whence it is believed they had their origin. The Europeans found tribes of these Indians scattered along the entire eastern coast of this country, from Maine to Florida, and each tribe had a different name.

It is not known that a change of name was even suggested, much less attempted, and it is possible that these Indians received the right name by accident, though their discoverers found them in a great country, far removed from the continent, whence it is believed they had their origin.
