This is concerning negotiations for what would become the famous Treaty of Easton which would be signed in 1758. The treaty was between British colonials and the chiefs of 13 Native American nations. Negotiations were concluded on October 26, 1758, at a ceremony held in Easton, Pennsylvania between the British colonial governors and representatives of 13 Indian nations, to ensure their continued domination of their Ohio Country region. More than 500 Native Americans attended the outdoor ceremony to bring peace to the region.
Eight pages, 8 by 11 inches, great condition.
AI notes: The Treaty of Easton (1757) was an agreement between British colonial officials and several Native American tribes during the French and Indian War. In the treaty, the tribes agreed to stop supporting the French, while the British promised not to settle west of the Allegheny Mountains. This helped secure Native neutrality or support for the British and reduced attacks on frontier settlements, but the treaty's promises were later broken, leading to future tensions.
