5. Climate.

The population makeup of a geo- graphic region often depends upon the kind of soil, the natural resourc- es, the physical environment, etc. Thus Swedes, French Canadians and a sprinkling of Irish, Scots and Poles are attracted to the logging regions of the Pacific states, while a mining area attracts another immigrant ele- ment. The appearance and soclal conditions of a logging camp, a min- ing town or a farming community are largely a result of the technolog- ical processes involved and these all have thelr roots in the geography of the reglon.

Two geographers, C. Langdon White and George T. Renner, have

emphasized the importance of these elements in the history of communi- ties:

Although human communities oc- cur from the Equator almost to the earth's poles, their distribution is far from uniform. Contrary to gen- eral belief, the distribution of man- kind over the earth's surface is not due to mere chance, nor to human

A, skeleton outline can be seen as a whole. After this, each topic will be listed with subheadings and with | desire. Human communities are tied

by ecological relations to the earth which gives them sustenance. The earth varies locally in the amount of protection which it lends, the op -. be Inserted above as number V, and portunity for migration which it pre- . after IV ("Economic Develop- ments"). But In most cases the top- ics as listed fit into one another in a fairly logical order.

sents and the natural resources

which it affords. Consequently, the amount of population which it will support varies greatly from place to place, Thus the distribution of society is purely an ecological matter. Hu- man communities are localized, con- centrated, or disseminated - because they are adjusted 'to the physical characteristics of the earth' on which they exist.

Communities are also differentiat- ed one from another, and given spe- cific characteristics for the same rea- son.

Therefore, what peoples will inhab- it a, given area, what use they will make of the resources of that area, how large their communities will be, how those communities will be or- ganized and what standard of living they will possess are largely a matter of ecology.

Another writer on the same sub- ject points out that "a description of the nature of the soil and of the natural features . . . hills, rivers, streams and so on-is fundamental to our purpose, for on these do the site of the village and the activities of the inhabitants depend. It is hard- ly an exaggeration to say that ge- ography is the basis of history."

The object of this paper will be to partially supply this deficiency. Treaty with the Indians

The Treaty made with the Indians in 1768 at Fort Stanwix by Sir Wil- liam Johnson and the Governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Commissioners of Virginia, was one of the most important treaties made before the Revolutionary War. It was a.remarkable conference, attended by more than three .thousand Indians and the result of it was a deed, ex- ecuted by, the Six Nations who claim- ed by right of conquest all the terri- tory now covered by the States of New York, Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and part of Michigan. This deed relin- quished to the King of England the Indian title to all lands lying east of a line which began at the mouth of the Cherokee (Tennessee) river where It empties into the river Ohio and running thence on the south side of the Ohio River up that stream to Kittaning above Fort Pitt from

thence by a direct line eastwardly through the Alleghany mountains to the west branch of the Susquehanna, thence along the south side of that stream to a point opposite the mouth

. of the Tiadaghton Creek; thence up the south side of that creek, along the north side of Burnetts Hills to a creek called Awadee; thence down the same to the east branch of the Susquehanna, across that stream, and up the east side to Oswego, thence eastwardly to the Delaware River and up that river to a point opposite where the Hiandua falls into the Susquehanna, thence to Tiandua (Unadilla) thence up the west side of its west branch to the head thereof, and thence by a direct line to Can- ada Creek, where It empties into the Wood creek at the west of the car- rying place of Fort Stanwix.

The lands of the Mohawks around their villages and of other Indians similarly situated were to remain to them. The consideration paid for this magnificent territory, which covered a large part of what is now four States, was ten thousand four hun- dred and sixty pounds, seven shillings and three pence, and by the terms of the treaty, Fort Stanwix near the site of the present city of Rome was to be dismantled. This treaty paci- fied the Indians, and it was then

scribed in the deed. It fixed the York Sons of Liberty as "Bloody western boundary of the colony of |Billy." Over zealous in the cause of King and Parliament; more than willing to execute all the laws for taxing the people of the colonies, he was idolized and admired by the Tor- ies and thoroughly hated by the pa- triots. He was a fit tool to do the work of the oppressors in those un- settled times, which preceded and led William Tryon up to the Revolutionary War. Before his coming in January, 1772, steps hal been taken for a division of Al- bany : ounty.
