Bouquet’s Council with the Indians
At the council of October 17th, 1764 there were present, representing the Delaware Indians, Custaloga, chief of the Wolf tribe, the chief named in our ancestor’s petition; and Beaver, chief of the Turkey tribe, with twenty warriors. These two chiefs at the close of their speech delivered eighteen prisoners and eighty-three small sticks, representing the number of prisoners in their possession and which they agreed to deliver as soon as possible.
