"Soon after crossing this large branch of the Tanase, [in Upper Georgia,] I observed, descending the heights at a distance, a company of seven Indians, all well mounted on horseback. They came rapidly forward. On their nearer approach I observed a Chief at the head of the caravan, and apprehending him to be the Little Carpenter, Emperor or Grand Chief of the Cherokees, as they came up I turned off from the path to make way, in token of respect. The compliment was accepted, and returned, for his Highness, with a gracious and cheerful smile, came up to me, and clapping his hand on his breast, offered it to me, saying, '_I am Attakullaculla,_' and heartily shook hands with me, and asked me '_If I knew it._' I answered, that the Good Spirit who goes before me, spoke to me and said, 'That is the great Attakullaculla,' and added that I was of the tribe of the white men of Pennsylvania, who esteem themselves brothers and friends to the Red Men, but particularly to the Cherokees, and that the name of Attakullaculla was dear to his white brethren. After this compliment, which seemed to be acceptable, he inquired 'if I came lately from Charleston, and if _John Stuart was well,_' [the agent,] saying that he was going to see him. I replied that I had come lately from Charleston, on a friendly visit to the Cherokees; that I had seen the Superintendent, the Beloved Man, &c. The Great Chief was pleased to answer, that I was welcome in their country, as a friend and brother, and then shaking hands heartily he bade me farewell, and his retinue confirmed it by a united voice of assent." CHAPTER XI. The Cayuga Chief, Logan--Some account of his father, Shikellimus--Residence of Logan--His friendship for the whites interrupted by their provocations--His family misfortunes--The Shawanee Silver-Heels--Logan joins in a war of revenge against the "Long-Knives"--Battle of the Kenhawa--Treaty of Peace with Governor Dunmore--Logan's celebrated speech--His history completed--Buckongahelas, the Delaware head War-Chief--His intercourse with the Christian Indians--Part which he takes in the Revolution--Defeated by Wayne, in 1794--Anecdotes of him--Death and character. Few Indians names have been oftener repeated than that of Logan, and yet of scarcely any individual of his race is the history which has reached us less complete. He was a chief of the Six-Nations--a Cayuga--but resided during most of his life in a western settlement, either at Sandusky or upon a branch of the Scioto--there being at the former location, a few years before the Revolution, about three hundred warriors, and about sixty at the latter.
