In 1679, he explored Ohio, and built a tort in Illinois. He returned to Quebec for supplies and in the following year, he sailed down the Mississippi until he reached the Gultot Mexico. He set up a cross with the arms ot France, claiming the land watered by the Mississippi and its tributaries in the name of . God and the King ot France, and naming it Louisiana. This territory which included Pittsburgh was the root ot the trouble that started the French and Indian War, tor England had prior claims to the fork ot the rivers, based upon Cabot's explorations in the sixteenth century. Thus the foundation was laid tor the rivalry which was directly responsible for the defeat ot the French in the new world and a contributing cause for the revolution ot the colonies. 13

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

Both nations, however, early recognized the strategic location of the Forks at the Ohio headwaters, and it became a point of contention between the two white nations and the Indians. The Iroquois, Delawares, Shawnees, Senecas, Mingoes, and Wyandots controlled the Ohio Valley and its key, and they were well able to repulse any efforts of the early settlers to establish a permanent settlement, although a few pioneers and explorers had pushed into the district and organized trading posts, paving the way for the actual settlement of the disputed country. 14
