iyi 1400-1500 Before the coming of the whites, the upper Ohio basin, which included Pittsburgh, was settled mainly by Indians of the Algonquian tribes. They led the life of a typical Indian, which consisted of hunting, fishing fthe rivers had not yet been polutedj, fighting and when necessary, a little work. The Indian had very little intelligence,-his highest art was extended in the invention of the bow and arrow, and even the simple mechanism of the wheel was unknown to him. He made no permanent homes or cities, no roads nor bridges, he wrote no books nor histories, he knew nothing of the country that surrounded his immediate vicinity, and he made no progress in government, industry or art. Such a nation of people could never have developed the resources of the Pitts- burgh district to its fullest extent. 12
