October 18, 315: The very first law passed under Christian influence in the Roman Empire (Oct. 18, 315) stipulated the consigning to the flames of Jews who acted to prevent other Jews from becoming Christians and the Christians who joined the “evil sect” of Judaism.[1]

October 18, 1770: The Cherokee Indians sign the Treaty of Lochobar, moving the Virginia boundary line further west.[3] Treaty of Lochaber with the British Indian Superintendent, ceding land in the later states of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.[4]

Treaty of Lochaber

Following the Treaty of Fort Stanwix in November of 1768, which established the boundary lines to the north of Virginia, Lord Shelburne in London was anxious to settle disputes along the western frontier in order to avoid more conflict with the Native Americans. This led to the Treaty of Lochaber which was signed in South Carolina on October 18, 1770 by British representative John Stuart and the Cherokees. Based on the terms of the accord, the Cherokee relinquished all claims to property from the North Carolina and Virginia border to a point six miles east of Long Island of the Holston River in present-day Kingsport, TN to the mouth of the Kanawha River at present-day Point Pleasant, West Virginia in Mason County. The North Carolina-Virginia border at this time was along the 36° 30' parallel in present-day Tennessee. The south fork of the Holston River was agreed to become the southern bounds due to settler's confusion of where the parallel ran. Therefore, "North of the Holston" settlers were considered outside of the Cherokee lands.[1] In this treaty, the Cherokee surrendered their rights to the remaining land in present-day southern West Virginia not included in the Treaty of Hard Labour in October of 1768.[5]

October 18, 1774



[Col. William Christian to Col. William Preston. 3QQ130.]

Smithfield Tuesday the 8 Novr. ‘74



My Dear Sir-About 7OClock this morning Capt Floyd & myself got there [here] on our return from the Indian Country. I hear you are not expected home before Sunday, if you stay in the neighbourhood of the Town a few days or come up Roanoak I hope to see you But in the mean time I will say a little about our Journey.

This day 3 weeks [October 18] our Army about 1150 in number marched from the Ohio, and on the Monday evening following we encamped within about 3 miles from A Shawnese Town where their greatest force were Assembled. His Lordships Camp was then about 7 miles from us & about 6 miles from the Town. We intended for his Camp but passed the path that took off to our right hand expecting he had encamped nearer the Towns.[7] That day we were met by several expresses from his Lordship, the last one informing us that he had concluded a peace. As we went on further than was expected The Indians who watched every motion of our army, informed the Govr. That we had not stopt but were pushing strait for their Towns & would be in that day (which we could havee done). His Lordship with the Interpreter Mr. Gibson & an Indian Chief & 50 men came to our Camp at Dusk.[8] The next day he called the Captains together, told what he had [done] & desired us to return home. We began our March that day, all but about 50 Fincastle men who went to the other Camp. On Friday night we reached Point Pleasant. On Sunday evening the greatest part of the Fincastle & Augusta Troops set our for home, every body being anxious.

Capt. Russell is to remain with 50 men at point Pleasant until the Assembly can be applyd to.

The Mingoes refused to comply with the termsof the Treaty, when his Lordship was at our Camp he had about 8 of their men under confinement. Tuesday night after he returned to his own Camp he detached 250 men who reached a mingoTown the following night, killed 5 & took 14 prisoners chiefly Women & Children the rest escaping under Cover of the Night.[9] The plunder to a considerable Amount was brought away, & the Town burned down.[10] This Intelligence came by Jno. Howe who was with the Party & overtook me at Elk. There is another Mingo Town nearer Pt. Pleasant[11]. I doubt the Govr. Cannot take that for want of Provisions

The Shawnese proposed laying themselves at the Govers. Mercy & told him to make the Terms & they should be complied with. He proposed their delivering up all the Prisoners & paying for what Stores &c they had taken since last war. And never more to make war or disturb us. For the Two first he takes two of their Chiefs with him to Wm.burg & for the last four Chiefs or the Sons of such. I don’t know abt. The other articles but Know & Howe tells me that there is something about their never coming over to our settlements but to Trade.[12]

Last Friday was two weeks [October 21] Logan a famous Chief[13] went home with a little boy a son of Roberts on Holston & two of Blackmores Negroes. He said He had taken them on the Fronteers next the Cherokee Country & had killed I think either 5 or 7 people. The boy and Negroes will be soon in.

It is a general opinion in the Govrs. Army that the peace with the Shawnese will be lasting.[14]

Many of our wounded men died since the Accounts of the battle came in, I think there are near 70 dead. Capt. Buford & Lieut. Goldman & 7 or 8 more died whilst we were over Ohio & more will yet die.

Colo. Fleming is in a fair way to recover and I think out of danger if he don’t catch cold. Him & Capt. Dickeson sett of[f] Monday was a week from the Point in a Canoe & will come from Elk or Kellys on horseback. All the wounded are coming in who Can ride, some must Stay until they get better.

I dare say the Army is now scattered from Elk to the levels, perhaps from Point pleasant to the Warm Springs, all in little Companys. Many of the Fincastle men crossed at Pt. Pleasant & intended to steer for Clinch. Others at Kellys. I beg of you if you can get any Oppy. To inform Mrs. Fleming of her husbands being on his way, He walks about constantly all day. He had plenty of people to take care of him.

Colo. Lewis I think will be in the first of next week, perhaps some longer. When I saw the Govr. He said he would hasten to Wm.burg to meet the Assembly whom he expected would adjourn from day to day, until he could get there. He will go very quick.

Pray show this to Mr. Madison. I will see him the last of this week I hope on my way to Hanover. If I knew certainly of yr. coming up Catawba I would go that way to meet you. I wish the other road may please you as well.

I am Sir as usual Yours Ever[15]

October 18, 1820: Treaty of Doak's Stand

The approximate ceded areas shaded in orange and green in relation to the future U.S. states of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.

The Treaty of Doak's Stand (7 Stat. 210, also known as Treaty with the Choctaw) was signed on October 18, 1820 (proclaimed on January 8, 1821) between the United States and the Choctaw Indian tribe. Based on the terms of the accord, the Choctaw agreed to give up approximately one-half of their remaining Choctaw homeland. In October 1820, Andrew Jackson and Thomas Hinds were sent as commissioners who represented the United States to negotiate a treaty to surrender a portion of Choctaw country in Mississippi. They met with tribal representatives at Doak's Stand on the Natchez Trace. They met with the chiefs Pushmataha, Mushulatubbee, and Apuckshunubbee, who represented the three major regional divisions of the Choctaw. Chiefs of the towns and other prominent men accompanied them, such as Colonel Silas Dinsmore.

Dinsmore was a former US Indian agent to the Choctaw; his passport ruling in 1812 had stirred a brief controversy with Jackson. Dinsmore was at the negotiations to settle a land claim; he believed the policy of the American government toward the Indian tribes was a harsh one. His attitude suggested a potential confrontation, but Jackson paid no attention to him.[1]

The convention began on October 10 with a talk by Jackson (whom the Choctaw nicknamed Sharp Knife), to more than 500 Choctaw. After his proposal to exchange Choctaw land for territory in present-day Arkansas, Pushmataha accused Jackson of deceiving them of the quality of land west of the Mississippi. Pushmataha said, "I know the country well ... The grass is everywhere very short ... There are but few beavers, and the honey and fruit are rare things." Jackson finally resorted to threats to pressure the Choctaw to sign a treaty. He shouted, "Many of your nation are already beyond the Mississippi, and others are every year removing .... If you refuse ... the nation will be destroyed." On October 18, 1820, the chiefs signed the treaty.[1]

Article IV prepared the Choctaws to become citizens of the United States when he or she became acculturated. This article would later influence Article XIV in the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.


ART. IV. The boundaries hereby established between the Choctaw Indians and the United States, on this side of the Mississippi river, shall remain without alteration until the period at which said nation shall become so civilized and enlightened as to be made citizens of the United States, and Congress shall lay of a limited parcel of land for the benefit of each family or individual in the nation. ...

And whereas it is desirable to the state of Mississippi, to obtain a small part of the land belonging to said nation; for the mutual accommodation of the parties, and for securing the happiness and protection of the whole Choctaw nation, as well as preserving that harmony and friendship which so happily subsists between them and the United States, James Monroe, President of the United States of America, by Andrew Jackson, of the State of Tennessee, Major General in the Army of the United States, and General Thomas Hinds, of the State of Mississippi, Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States, on the one part, and the Mingoes, Head Men, and Warriors, of the Choctaw nation, in full Council assembled, on the other part,: have freely and voluntarily entered into the following articles, viz ...

October 1844: Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation

Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation

Title page of the 12th edition of Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1884)

Author(s)-Robert Chambers

Country-United Kingdom
Language-English
Subject(s)-Evolutionary biology
Publisher-John Churchill

Publication date-October 1844


Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation is a work of speculative natural history and philosophy published anonymously in England in 1844. It brought together various ideas of stellar evolution with the progressive transmutation of species in an accessible narrative which tied together numerous scientific theories of the age.

Vestiges was initially well received by polite Victorian society and became an international bestseller, but its unorthodox themes contradicted the natural theology fashionable at the time and were reviled by clergymen – and subsequently by scientists who readily found fault with its amateurish deficiencies. The ideas in the book were favoured by Radicals, but its presentation remained popular with a much wider public. Prince Albert read it aloud to Queen Victoria in 1845. Vestiges caused a shift in popular opinion which – Charles Darwin believed – prepared the public mind for the scientific theories of evolution by natural selection which followed from the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859.

For decades there was speculation about its authorship. The 12th edition, published in 1884, revealed officially that the author was Robert Chambers, a Scottish journalist, who had written the book in St Andrews between 1841 and 1844 while recovering from a psychiatric illness.[1] Originally, Chambers had proposed the title The Natural History of Creation, but friends persuaded him to revise the title in deference to the Scottish geologist James Hutton, who had remarked of the timeless aspect of geology: "no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end". Some of the inspiration for the work derived from the Edinburgh Phrenological Society whose influence reached a climax between 1825 and 1840. George Combe, the leading proponent of phrenological thinking, had published his influential The Constitution of Man in 1828. Chambers was closely involved with Combe's associates William A.F. Browne and Hewett Cottrell Watson who did much to spell out the materialist theory of the mind. Chambers died in 1871 and is buried in the grounds of St Andrews Cathedral, within the ancient chapel of St Regulus.[24]

April 1860 to October 1861: The Pony Express was a mail service crossing the Great Plaines and the Rocky mountains from St. Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA from April 1860 to October 1861[25]

September-October 1864: Iowa 24th Infantry was stationed at Martinsburg, West Virginia, September-October 1864.[26]



October 1864: When the Union stopped the exchange of prisoners in August 1864 the population in the Prison began to rise. Additional recently captured soldiers and transferred prisoneers from other areas increased the number held at the Salisbury Prison to 5,000 by October 1864. Ten thousand men were crowded into the stockade by November and conditions began to change dramatically. [27]



The worst suffering that resulted from the closing of Andersonville, however, was born by the prisoners who were shipped to Salisbury Prison in North Carolina. The inmate population at Salisbury had remained low since the initianion of exchanges in 1862, but that situation rapidly changed for the worse after the shuttering of the Georgia camp. When the number of captives confined at Belle Isle and Libby began yet another precipitious climb, the War Department ordered Major Thomas Turner, the commander of prisons in Richmond, to begin shipping excess Federals to Salisbury as quickly as possible. Turner attempted to comply, but the transfer was a nightmare from the start. Due to a combination of haste and poor planning, the initial trainloads of prisoners were sent from the capital without a single ration, and they remained without food for the three days of their journey. Their situation improved only slightly when they arrived at their destination. Rations had been adequate for the few hundred prisoners who had been confined at Salisbury during the first nine months of 1864, but they were quickly exhausted by the flood of new arrivals. Major John H. Gee commanded at Salisbury, having been warned in September to prepare for "a very large number of prisoners," he had immediately begun to enlarge the camp's stockade and dig additional wells. These projects were scarcely underway when the first wave of captives arrived on 5 October. Over the next eight weeks, 10,321 Yanks were shipped to Salisbury, and Gee and his staff were completely overwhelmed. Most of the prisoners arrived clad in rags, and replacement clothing could be provided only by stripping the dead before burial. The available barracks space was sufficient for barely half of the captives, and although this was supplemented by three hundred tents of varying sizes, almost four thousand of Salisbury's new inmates secured protection from the elements only by burrowing holes in the earth or contruction crude shelters from scraps of lumber and bits of blankets.



In order to suply one meal daily for this multitude of prisoners and the Confederate garrison, Captain Abram Myers, the post commissary officer, had to procure 13000 rations every twenty four hours. Myers earnestly attempted to satisfy this staggering requirement by instituting a ferocious impressment and commandeering local mills to grind the corn and wheat he took from farmers, but the suppy of food he amassed could not keep pace with the demand. Meat virtually disappeared from the prisoners diet, daily rations of bread grew ever smaller, and often the men were issued only unbolted cornmeal to eat. Under such conditions, the prison yards at Salisbury were transformed into a surreal world of starving savages, where the strongest prisoners stole the rations of the weak and infirm. Man nealy mad from hunger raided garbage piles in search of discarded bones; they killed and devoured rats and the few dogs and cats that strayed into the camp and consumed raw acorns that fell from the trees bordering the stockade. [28]



October 1864: Burials before the overcrowding had been in coffins and in separate graves. Records exist that indicate military burial services were even given. However, due to the large number of men dying daily after October 1864 a mass burial system was initiated. The bodies were collected daily and taken to the "dead house" to be counted and loaded onto a one-horse wagon. At 2:00 PM each day this wagon of the dead would be taken about 1/4 mile to an abandoned cornfield where the men were buried. Eighteen trenches of approximatley 240 feet each were eventually needed.

October 17, 1771

Colonel Washington acquired a measure of title to the Fort Necessity plantinat Great Meadows on October 17, when he purchased the interest of William Brooks in a survey dated February 14, 1771, based on an earlier application to the land Office of Pennsylvania, June 13, 1769. He did not perfect this title until after the Revolution, when on February 28, 1782 he secured a patent for tract called “Mt Washington, situate on the east side of Laurel Hill where Braddock’s Road crosses the Great Meadows, formerly Bedford County, now in the county of Westmoreland, containing 234 ½ acres.” This patent is recorded in Fayette

Countyl Pennsylvania, in “Deed book 507,” page 458 and shows a consideration of ₤33 15s. 6d. He purchased the right fo William Athel on February 12, 1782, in an application filed by Athel on April 3, 1769, and had this title perfected by a patent from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, February 8, 1782. For a consideration of ₤48 3s. 5d., Pennsylvania granted to him called “Spring Run.” On the south side of Youghiogheny, on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland, now in Westmoreland County, containing three hundred thirty-one acres, one hundred forty-seven perches, and bounded bye lands of Thomas Jones John Patty, John Pearsall, and Washington’s other lands. These other lands were those which Washinton had personally applied for on April 3, 1769, when the land office was opened, and which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted to him February 8, 1782, for a consideration of ₤48 7d., and described as the “Meadow,” situate on the south side of “Youghogeni” on the waters of said river, formerly in Cumberland County, now in Westmorelamnd County, bounded by John Darsall’s (Pearsall’s, William Athel’s, John Patty’s and John Bishop’s. The deeds for these two tracts are recorded in Fayette County in “Deed Book 180,” pages 294, 296, respectively.

George Washington owned the Great Meadows tract at the time of his death on December 14, 1799, and under the authority containede in his will, William A. Washington, George S. Washington, Samuel Washington, and George W. P. Custis, his executors, by Bushrod Washington and Lawrence Lewis, their attorneys, conveyed the Great Meadows to Andrew Parks of the town of Baltimore. By later conveyances this historic shrine has come under the control of the Pennsyvania Department of Forests and Waters, with the actual fort site deeded to the United States of America.[6] [6] Diaries of George Washington, University Press of Virginia, 1978


[7] Dunmore had arrived at Fort Pitt about the end of August, and for several weeks was occupied in fruitless negotiations with the Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee chiefs, the latter of whom were requested to meet him and make a treaty somewhere lower down the Ohio (Amer. Archives. 4th series, I, pp. 873-875. Accordingly the governor, with seven hundred men, set out in canoes, while five hundred more, under the command of Maj. William Crawford, marched by land where they arrived September 30 (Washington-Crawford Letters, pp. 54, 97). From this point Crawford marched to the mouth of Hockhocking, and crossing his forces began a small stockade named Fort Gower, in honor of the English earl of that name. This fort was on the upper or east side of the Hockhocking, quite near the junction of the two rivers. See Hildreth, Pioneer History of Ohio Valley (Cincinnati, 1848), p. 93. A few days later, the remainder of the army arrived, under Denmore’s immediate command; but no Indians appeared, save White-Eyes, the friendly Delaware, and John Montour, the former of whom was sent with a message to the Shawnee. They soon returned, bringing word of the absence of their warriors, who “had gone to the Southward to speak with the army there.” Oct 10, the sound of musketry was heard at Fort Gower; and the following day Dunmore took up his march for the Indian towns, hoping to get between them and the warrior’s band. The army camped the first night at Federal, and the second at Sunday Creek, both in AthensCounty. At he third camp, near the village of Nelsonville, news was brought from Lewis of his victory which occasioned great joy among the troops. See Draper MSS., 3S5-17. Two days later, a messenger from Cornstalk appeared, suing for peace; but next day the army advanced to the bank of Scippo Creek, on what was later the Winship farm, in the southwest quarter of section twelve, township twelve, rangfe twenty-one where a rude camp was formed, named by the governor for the English queen, Camp Charlotte. The name was written with red chalk on a peeled sapling and placed in the centre of the enclosure. At Camp Charlotte, the negotiations with the Shawnee chiefs had made considerable progress, when the approach of Lewis’s army alarmed the Indians. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg302


[8] In later years, Col. Andrew Lewi’s son wrote to Dr Campbell that his father was obliged to double or trebnle the guard around his tent, while the governor was present, in order to preserve him from the wrath of the backwoods soldiers, who were incensed at being turned back when in sight of their prey. See Va. Hist. Register, I, p. 32. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellog pg. 302.


[9] This was the expedition led by Maj. William Crawford, which conducted the only offensive action of Dunmore’s division of the army. George Rogers Clark and Joseph Bowman, later concerned with the capture of the Illinois, were members of this party. The town visited by them was known as Seekonk, or Salt Lick Town (sometimes Hill Town), and was situated on the west bank of the Scioto, near Columbus, about opposite the Ohio state penitentiary. Two other small Mingo villages were in the vicinity. For account of this raid written, by the leader, see Washington-Crawford Letters, pp. 55, 56. The numbers of men and enemy killed differ slightly from Christian’s account. From traditions of this event, see Lee, City of Columbus (N. Y. and Chicago, 1892), pp. 97-99. Dunmore’s War, by Thwaites and Kellogg


[10] The booty taken was sold for ₤35, 11 shillings, 3 pence. See Journal of Virginia House of Delegates, Dec. 9, 1776. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellogg.


[11] Probably Horse-head Bottom town, situated on Pine Creek, an affluent of the Little Scioto in the county of that name. This was the Mingo Town that the party from the neighborhood of Wheeling started to attack in April, 1774, from which enterprise they were dissuaded by Capt. Michael Cresap. See Mayer, Logn and Cresap, pp. 88, 150. Dunmore’s War by Thwaites and Kellogg. P. 304.

[13] The following brief biography of Logan is abridged from a manuscript life in the Draper MSS., 2D, chap. 12. The father of Logan was a French child who, captured when quite young, had been adopted into the Oneida tribe, and became a chief of much influence among the Indians of the Susquehann. Logan’s mother was a Cayuga, hence this was his tribe. For many years he lived at Shamokin (now Sunbury), in the Susquehanna valley, and was usually known as John Shikellimo, his appellation Logan being in honor of James Logan, secretary of the province; his Indian name was Tachnechdorus (branching oak of the forest). During the French and Indian War he maintained a strict neutrality, even seeking refuge in Philadelphia from the wiles of the savage allies of the French. Obliged to abandon his ancestrial home, he lived in various places in Pennsylvania, for several years in the Kishacoquillas valley, whose pioneers later told tales of his kindness, generosity, and general goodwill except when under the influence of liquor. About 1772, he removed to the Ohio, and it was at his town on Yellow Creek that the affray occurred on April 30, 1774, that has been cited as the occasion for Dunmore’s War. Having glutted his vengeance by four prolonged raids, during the summer after the negotiations with Lord Dunmore for peace had begun. The date of his arrival, as here given by Christian, is proof that he was not in the battle at Point Pleasant. Noticing his absence, Lord Dunmore sent his interpreter, John Gibson, to bring him to the conference. Logan refused to go, and upon that occasion delivered the now famous speech, so generally quoted as an example of Indian eloquence, to which Jefferson paid high tribute in his “Notes on Virginia”. There grew up an animated controversy concerning the genuineness of this speech, and its attribution of the murder to Cresap. It is now admitted that the substance of the speech, as it has come down to us, was actually delivered by Logan, but that he was mistaken in attributing the murder of his family to Cresap. See Jacob, Life of Cresap; Mayer, Logan and Cresap (especially documents in appendix to edition of 1867); Roosevelt, Winning of the West, I, pp. 236-239, 347-352. The rest of Logan’s life is sunk in obscurity. He removed to Pluggy’s Town, on the Scioto, then to the watersof Mad River, in Logan County, and later to the neighborhood of Detroit. He saved Kenton from the stake in 1778, and the next year was recognized in a savage raiding party in southwest Virginia. See Draper MSS., 5QQ11. He was killed by one of his own relatives on his way home from Detroit in 1780. His epitaph may be given in his own statement, that “he knew he had two souls, the one good and the other bad; when the good soul had the ascendant, he was kind and humane, and when the bad soul ruled, he was perfectly savage, and delighted in nothing but blood and carnage.” See Amer. Pioneer, I, p. 350. Dunmore’s War, Thwaites and Kellogg pp. 305-306

[30]The regiment belonged to the Fourth Brigade, Second Division. Nineteenth Army Corps, Breviet Major General Emeory commanding corps, Brigadier General Grover commanding division, and Colonel Shunk, Eighth Indiana Veteran Volunteers, commanding brigade. The brigade occupied the left of the second line, which was about two hundred paces in rear of the line of works occupied by the first line. The left of the brigade rested about two hundred yards to the right of the pike leading from Winchester to Stanton. The works in our front were occupied by the Third Brigade, Second Division, Nineteenth Army Corps with Battery D, First Rhode Island Artillery, near the pike on the left. The regiment occupied the right center of the brigade, with the Twenty-eighth Iowa on the left. The Eighth Corps, under command of Major General Crook, was posted on the left of the pike, and about three hundred paces to the front. The Sixth Corps was on the right of the Nineteenth, with its right thrown back toward Middletown, about one mile. Our teams parked about one mile In the rear. The enemy was in camp at Fisher’s Hill, come four miles to the front. In this position we rested on the evening of the 18th, not even suspecting our danger, or the Yankee trick that Early was going to play on us the next morning.

Soon after retiring to bed, Colonel Wilds, then in command of the regiment, received orders to have the men under arms at precisely 5 o’clock the next morning, as the first line was to make a reconnaissance to the front, and the Fourth Brigade was to move up to the works as soon as vacated.
