Excerpt from Original Contributions to the American Pioneer
Our readers are presented below with an account of the settlement, drawn up for the American Pioneer, by the indefatigable Dr. S. P. Hildreth, of Marietta, who for this and his many favors, has our grateful acknowledg ments. To make the favor complete, he has sent to us the original draw ing of the fort and vicinity, taken by Joseph Gilman, Esq. In 1790, with lib erty to take a copy, which has been done, and is presented in the frontis piece. There, directly in front, you have a view of the fort and its syste matic, convenient, and tasteful arrangements; beyond which move on west wardly, toward the right, the still waters of the Ohio, which, a little to the left on the drawing, receive the waters of the Muskingum, beyond which is a small view of the point now occupied by the city of Marietta. Beyond the Ohio you have the Virginia shore, on which appears the farm of colonel Isaac Williams, an early Pioneer, a biography of whose life, rich with incident and instruction, is promised for the Pioneer. A little more to the left, is observed the lower end of Devol's island; beyond which, on the right and left, rises, in majestic grandeur, the bold scenery which bounds the view, and inspires a feeling of awe. Between the beholder and the fort are gardens, and a little to the left stands the council-house, where, in 1789, governor Arthur St. Clair made his treaty with the Indians. Was not that the cradle of Ohio?
