Allegheny Episodes

Folk Lore and Legends Collected in
Northern and Western Pennsylvania
By HENRY W. SHOEMAKER
Volume XI Pennsylvania Folk Lore Series

“The country east of the Mississippi was inhabited by a very powerful nation. * * * Those people called themselves Alligewi. * * * The Allegheny River and Mountains have been named after them. * * * The Lenni-Lenape still call the river Alligewi Sipu, the river of the Alligewi, but it is generally known by its Iroquois name–Ohe-Yu–which the French had literally translated into La Belle Riviere, The Beautiful River, though a branch of it retains the ancient name Allegheny.”
