Ngo-1798, abahlali bokuqala baseMelika abasisigxina abavela empuma bafika kwi-Western Reserve yaseOhio. Baqalisa ukugawula amahlathi agudle unxweme olusemazantsi eLake Erie. Kwaye kule nkqubo, bafumana izakhiwo ezininzi zodongwe zakudala kwaye phantse kuyo yonke indawo imikhonto eyenziwe yacoleka kunye nezinye izinto zakudala ezilityelweyo kunye noluntu oluhlala lunabantu abaninzi - abantu ngokucacileyo bahluke kakhulu kumaIndiya aseMassasauga ahlala kwelo lizwe.
Isizukulwana sangaphambi kokuba abahloli bamazwe bokuqala basentshona yePennsylvania nakumazantsi eOhio bafumanise okufanayo: umhlaba obanzi waseCircleville naseMarietta, eOhio, wawusele ubhengezwe kakuhle ngexesha ummi u-Aaron Wright kunye namaqabane akhe baqalisa ukuphanga amakhaya abo amatsha kunye. IConneaut Creek, kwindawo eya kuthi kamva ibe yiAshtabula County, eOhio.
Izinto ezingaqhelekanga ezafunyanwa nguAaron Wright ngo-1800
Mhlawumbi kwakungenxa yokuba wayengumfana ongatshatanga owayenamandla amaninzi, okanye mhlawumbi kwakungenxa yokuba ukukhetha kwakhe umzi kwakuquka indlu enkulu. “umakhi wenduli” indawo yokungcwaba. Nokuba zithini na izizathu, u-Aaron Wright uye wehla kwiincwadi zembali njengomfumani we "Conneaut Giants," abahlali bamandulo abanamathambo amakhulu ngokungaqhelekanga baseAshtabula County, eOhio.
Kwingxelo ka-1844, uHarvey Nettleton wabika ukuba oku “Amangcwaba amandulo awayemalunga neehektare ezine” yayimi kwindawo eyakhawuleza yaba yidolophana yaseNew Salem (kamva eyathiywa ngokuba yiConneaut), "Ukwandisa emantla ukusuka elunxwemeni lomlambo ukuya kwisitalato esiMain, kwisikwere esixandileyo."
UHarvey Nettleton waphawula kwiakhawunti yakhe:
“Amangcwaba amandulo ayehlukaniswa ngokugutyungelwa okuncinane okusemhlabeni okulahlwe kwimiqolo ethe tye, enezikhewu, okanye iindledlana ezigubungela wonke loo mmandla. Kuqikelelwa ukuba iqulathe ukusuka kumawaka amabini ukuya kwamathathu amangcwaba.
Olu xinzelelo, kuvavanyo olucokisekileyo olwenziwe ngu-Esq. UAaron Wright, kwangeminyaka yoo-1800, wafunyanwa engaguquguquki equlathe amathambo abantu, abamnyama ngokuhamba kwexesha, awathi akuvezwa emoyeni aqhekeka abe luthuli.
Amangcwaba angaphambili kumhlaba ka-Aaron Wright ayephawuleka ngokwaneleyo, nje ngobukhulu bawo kunye nokubunjwa kwamangcwaba; kodwa yayikuloo mangcwaba nakumangcwaba akufuphi eyathimba ingqalelo kaNettleton.
Iinduli ezazimi kummandla ongasempuma wendawo ngoku ebizwa ngokuba yidolophana yaseConneaut nendawo enkulu yokungcwaba ekufuphi neCawa yaseRhabe kubonakala ukuba yayingenanto yakwenza neendawo zokungcwaba zamaIndiya. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo zibhekisela kwixesha elikude kakhulu kwaye ziziintsalela zohlanga olwalungasekho, awayengenalwazi ngalo amaIndiya.
Ezi zindunduma zazinobukhulu obuncinane xa kuthelekiswa nomlinganiselo, kwaye zikwimo efanayo yezo zithe saa kulo lonke ilizwe. Eyona nto iphawulekayo ngabo kukuba phakathi kobuninzi bamathambo abantu abakuwo, kufunyenwe imizekelo yamadoda amakhulu, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba ayephantse anxulumana nohlanga lwezigebenga.
Ukhakhayi lwathatyathwa kwezi nduli, imingxunya eyayinomthamo owaneleyo wokuvuma intloko yendoda eqhelekileyo, kunye namathambo emihlathi anokuthi afakwe phezu kobuso ngeziko elilinganayo.
Amathambo eengalo nawemilenze engezantsi ayenomlinganiselo ofanayo, nto leyo ebonisa ubungqina obubonakalayo bokuwohloka kohlanga loluntu ukususela ngexesha la madoda ahlala kulo mhlaba sikuwo ngoku.”
Oko kwafunyanwa nguKumkani uNehemiya ngowe-1829
Ingxelo kaNettleton yasasazwa ngokubanzi xa yayishwankathelwa kwiiNgqokelela zeMbali kaHenry Howe yaseOhio, ngo-1847. “indawo enkulu yokungcwaba” kunye “amathambo omntu afunyenwe ezindulini” kufuphi.
UHowe uphinda ingxelo yokuba phakathi kwala mathambo angagqunywanga, “Ngamanye ayengamadoda esakhiwo esikhulu. Ukwachaza nendlela, ngo-1829, umthi owagawulwa ngayo ecaleni kweyamandulo "Fort Hill eConneaut" kwaye umnini womhlaba wendawo, “UHloniphekileyo. UNehemiya King, ephethe iglasi yokukhulisa, wabala amakhonkco onyaka angama-350” ngaphaya kwamanqaku athile okusikwa kufutshane nombindi womthi.
UHowe uqukumbela ngelithi: “Ukutsalwa kwama-350 ku-1829 kushiya i-1479, ekumele ukuba ibe ngunyaka wokunqunyulwa kwawo. Oku kwakuyiminyaka elishumi elinesithathu ngaphambi kokufunyanwa kweMelika nguColumbus. Mhlawumbi oko kwakusenziwa lugqatso lweenduli, ngezembe lobhedu, kuba abantu babenobuchule bokuyenza lukhuni eso ntsimbi ukuze basikwe njengentsimbi.”
Kwangaloo nyaka apho imbali kaHenry Howe yaseOhio yavela enye incwadi enomdla yapapashwa yiSmithsonian Institution, enesihloko esithi. Izikhumbuzo zamandulo zeNtlambo yaseMississippi. Kuloo ngxelo ye-seminal ngu-EG Squier kunye no-EH Davis kubonakala inkcazo yokuqala eyaziwayo epapashwe "Fort Hill," laa ndawo ingaqhelekanga yangaphambi kweColumbian emi kwipropati yommelwane ka-Aaron Wright, uNehemiya King.
