Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of Pickaway County, to Accompany Wheeler's Map Very little more is known about the history of the Indian in this country, than of the race who preced ed him. Tradition reports, that the Shawnee, who occupied the Scioto country, when first discovered by the Whites, was of southern origin. It says, that in some of the vindictive wars among the south ern tribes, his tribe was overpowered and driven from their homes, and took to their canoes for safety. That they entered the Ohio, either from some of its southern tributaries, or from the Mississippi; and could find no resting place, until they reached the mouth of the Scioto; when fearing to make a land ing, they clung to the willows hanging over the stream, until they could get an answer from the shore, whether an abiding place would be furnished them. The tribe occupying that part of the coun try, seeing their destitute condition, had compassion on them; invited them to land, and gave them an asylum. They afterwards became a powerful tribe among the western Indians, and were foremost among them when this region first became known to the Whites. They appear to' have been in advance of the other tribes in intelligence, enterprize and agri cultural pursuits.
