By the Shores of Silver Lake //Chief Logan: Chief Logan was a mingo indian who had always been very friendly to the pioneers. But in 1774 however, settlers murdered his family. Cheif Logan led many attacks against settlers. Like Logan, american indians would fight with the settlers over land, and a lot of other things, for many years to come. Chief Logan never believed that land could be bought or sold. Chief Logan was also a very fierce leader.

Making a home: Pioneers arrived on the frontier, they cut down trees to create a clearing in the woods. They used the wood they cut down to build houses in the woods. In their houses they had very little supplies. Such as a table, a bed, a spinning wheel, and maybe a couple of dishes to spare. Settlers became farmers when they came to America. They often grew corn and other grains. They also started to raise farm animals. Many of the pioneers traveled west with wagons packed with food and resources. There were so many resources that there was barely any room for the people. The roads they had were practically dirt and rock. So it was very, very bumpy. Often there were no bridges to cross rivers//
