Speaker 1 (00:02):
The American Trail.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The American Trail blazed in Blood, Defended in Blood, Chapter two.
The Northwest Ordnance seventeen eighty seven. The Northwest Territory from
(00:44):
New York State to the Great Lakes was a vast,
almost unexplored wilderness. Reliable maps and data about the Indian
tribes were needed. Congress sent out scouts and surveyors to
bring this information back. One of these men was Kit Bradley,
an Army scout an Indian fighter. In the early part
of seventeen eighty seven, Kit arrived in Philadelphia to turn
(01:07):
in his report. It was a cold, bleak evening. Kit
rode his horse slowly down a narrow side street, looking
for a tavern where he could stable his horse and
eat a warm meal.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Suddenly, oo, woo woo, something or someone huddled in.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
A dark doorway. He dismounted and slowly walked over to
the doorway.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
It was a girl. He saw a girl, shivering, frightened
and exhausted.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Are you all right, ma'am? Let me alone and they'll
be scared. I don't need no harm.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Who are you?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
They sent you to find me?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Nobody sent me to find nobody here you're trembling. You
must be near a frozen Please please let me alone, ma'am.
I reckon.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
You could do with a good meal, real cozy in
this tavern. Yes, I feel warmer now you had enough teeth. Oh, yes,
(02:14):
I reckon.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
We can sit a while here in front of the fire. Yes,
it's nice here.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh you look real pretty now with your blonde curls
and your blue eyes.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
M some color in your face.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Y you you've been very kind. Annah Hannah, yes said
your name was Anna Astold.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You're running away from servitor, aren't you? But no, don't
look scared. No, no, I'm not afraid. Now you didn't
like the family you were bonded too. They treated me
like a slave. I was a slave. We had a
roof over your head.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The roof is not enough. I will not be treated
like a piece of dirt? Am I less? And then
you are else? Does God think less of me because
I should be a slave?
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Seems to be a lot of people are asking that
question these days.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Why do you.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Look at me?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
So?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Do you ever hear the Seoudra Valley? No, it's in
Ohio where folks settled there. They're farmers. It came from Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I was born on a farm in the old country. Annah. Yes,
I have a mind to quit what I'm doing and
settle out there at Ohio. Yes, I could get a
few acres of land. It's good land, good soil. I'd
build me a log cabin on it, start a farm.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yes, it's big country, Anna. Sometimes it tries to scare you.
But a man and his wife, if they had the gumption, could.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Make out so there.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It was the dream of an American frontiersman to take
a wife and build a home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But first there was a job to finish.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Kid had come to Philadelphia to see one major General, Saint.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Clair, is my report? General?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Yes, I'm anxious to look it over. I sit down, Bradley,
Thank you, sir, looking fit enough? Well, I reckon I've
still got my scalp Indians pretty hostile, I'll allow the
nut so friendly. What are you planning to do while
you're here in the East, Oh, I reckon I got
something to attend too good. Otherwise you you'd find it
pretty dull here now, Bradley, I've never heard so much
(04:46):
nobility of purpose.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
In all my born days.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
How's that General?
Speaker 6 (04:50):
They're trying to push a bill through Congress? The Northwest Ordnance.
They call it give the settlers in the Frontier country
the right to local government.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
The right to local self government.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Mat Craig put what's his name, Jefferson, He wrote it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Local self government. That'd really be something.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They were strange words in seventeen eighty seven, but they
sounded good to Kit Bradley. Then in July that same year,
the Northwest Ordinance was passed. The frontier was officially thrown
open to the settlers. In short time, the covered wagon
started to roll through Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And on into the wilderness.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Among the pioneers was Kit Bradley and his wife Annah.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
What do you think of America?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Anna?
Speaker 6 (05:46):
It's too big exciting you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You'll get used to it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Kit, I'm free.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh you're not so free. You're my wife. No one
can hold me in bonded. The losses of it says
it can be.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
We are slaves in this part of the country, and
as good as anyone here.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I reckon you are.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Oh, it's utiful.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's once. Kit built his log cabin a few miles
out of Chili Cooffee Settlement, and for miles around his
neighbors rode over to help him.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Men and women. They all fitched in.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
More and more settlers came, and one day a visitor
dropped in to see Kit, doctor Edward Tippins.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Well, Kit, we're a fair sized community. Now we're above
five thousand male voters. You recall what that means, well, I.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Reckon, it means we're ready to govern ourselves.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
According to the Northwest Ordinance, we're entitled to elect our
own legislature.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's something, doctor, that's really something.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Will now keep.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Some of our friends have asked me to go and
see the new governor and well, let him know we're
about ready for self government.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Now is that all right with you? And when you
figure to leave day after tomorrow, you're going alone. I
don't mind the trip, I reckon, I'll go along.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I can get some woman to come and stay with Anna,
and she can look after the farm.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
For a few days. A governor, you said, who is he?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
General?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Saint Clair?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Saint Clair. So you see, Governor, we all feel that
we've reached the stage world.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Doctor Tiffin, I don't think we need to waste valuable
time on this sort of discussion.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Now, I think you're mistaken. I reckon you are too,
Governor Tiffin.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Let me ask a question.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Please do But don't you think.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
You're just making fools of these simple minded farmers with
all this nonsense about self government.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Who they're entitled to it?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You don't pretend to think these ignorant settlers have sense
enough to vote intelligently, do you?
Speaker 7 (07:53):
The law says they may vote any way they choose
intelligently or otherwise.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
What kind of idiotic talk.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is that, Governor?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
We think a lot of doctor Tiffin here, I reckon,
he's our spokesman.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm all the spokesman.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
New people need and all you're going to get. I
don't want to hear anything more about this, this Northwest Ordinance.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
What do you say to that doctor Tifvin?
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Only this Governor? I don't think you're bigger than the
law of the land.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was a bad beginning, and things became worse. Denied
the cooperation of.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
The man who had been sent to help them, the
settlers were suddenly faced by open hostility from the Indians.
Kit Bradley knew that for the moment, politics must be
put aside. Survival was now all that mattered. President George
Washington ordered Governor Saint Clair to take the field against
the Indians Saint Clair and his troops were driven back
(08:48):
in defeat. American prestige died the Indians intoxicated by victory.
When on the rampage one day, just before dawn, Kit Bradley,
about to start work for his farm, saw a horseman
approach him.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Bradley, Kit Bradley, get your wife and kid and get
to the settlement.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Engines are coming this way.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Are you afraid? I'm yes, all right, come to leave.
(09:49):
Settlers died by the score.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Their homes went up in flames, their dreams in nightmares
of smoke.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Don't cry, it's gone, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We'll just build another one now, don't you cry.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But Congress did not abandon kit Bradley and those like him.
It appointed General Anthony Wayne to lead a strong expeditionary
force against the Indians.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Mayor Anthony Wayne.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
They called him, and at Timber Falls, he met the
Indians and defeated them. American prestige was restored. Peace came
to the frontier country. Kit Bradley and the other settlers
rebuilt their homes, and, under the leadership of doctor Edward Tiffen,
resumed their struggle for self government. At Cincinnati, they convened
(10:55):
before Governor Saint Clair.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
Tivian is recognized.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
They please your excellency to recognize this legislative body and.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
To consider our petition for self government.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
I have not the slightest intention of recognizing and is twaddled.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
We insist in says on our constitutional rights. The convention
is curls, Governor, who do you think you are?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'll put you in jail.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Bradley Kit Bradley, Doctor Tiffin and the rest were not
to be stopped by threats.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Anna.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We're going to hold on next meeting right here in
Chili Coothy, and if Governor Saint Claire wants to stay away,
we'll make out just fine.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Why is he so chinster?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Men like him don't think people like us should have
any power?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The settlers held their next convention at Chili Coffee, and
Governor Saint Clair made a point of being there.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Your excellency, hands doctor Tivin. This is no time for silence.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We'll be heard, Governor, not by me, you won't. We'll
go to someone else.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
IM still the governor of this territory, and we'll see
somebody in Congress. I'll tell you what I think of
Congress or order the never won't keep us quiet.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Governor, I've had enough, I reckon, so we I reckon.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
We'll take this to the President, and I'll tell.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
You what I think of him.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
The time passed one day, Kit took Anna and their
child east. A very simple man who had served his
country so well, and who himself had written a Northwest Ordinance,
was now President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson was
glad to see this young couple from the frontier.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Kid, Hannah, be proud. You took part in a great
moment of history, but you helped establish a new pattern
of life for the West.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We are proud, mister.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
We must never allow the will of the majority of
our people to be frustrated by one man or by
a minority. No man is ever greater than the law
of the land.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I reckon. Someone thought he was well.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
Governor, Saint Claire's being removed from office, removed for insubordination.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Now let me offer you some tea.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
They came from the Thirteen States and from lands across
the sea to build a new nations, and out of
the frontier country they formed new states after the plan
set up in the Northwest Ordinance as a new Century began,
and the American frontier was rolled back. This has been
(13:53):
the second chapter of the story of the American Nation,
brought to you by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans
of Foreign War. Next week, another story to make you
proud of this great country of ours, as we follow
the American trail.
The American Trail.
