The Land of Dayaogeh Author:Bob Cole There is a place where two rivers meet and create a third -- known to the Seneca Indians as Oyo - The Beautiful River.

The land along these rivers has been changed by the waters of the Beautiful Rivers as it has channeled their flow. As the waters have flowed upon the land so have many races of the humankind. They, like the waters of the millennia, have changed the land and have been changed by that land. This is the story of the people and the changes left by their passage. Unlike most books about history, this account tells the stories of those who made history -- often in the words they would have used to describe the experience. This allows the reader to be a part of the events that are the history of southwestern Pennsylvania from 10,000 BC through the 18th Century. The first-person approach allows the reader to see into the personalities of the individuals who were key players in history. It reveals much about the true heroes and villains who were part of the events that are the history of The Land Of Dayaogeh. The author, Bob Cole, created this book after many years of reading resource documents and collecting oral history of the area where he was born and raised. Included are maps and an index of over 2,500 names of the people who were a part of the history of the Land of Dayaogeh. The index provides a source of information for those tracing family trees. There is also an appendix of nearly 40 resources for those interested in more historical information.« less
