from Sarah Collins 1749. Turtle Woman advises the migrants. A Black Indian village. A lonely parting

[johanna_hypatia]

On the right bank of the Monongahela, Turtle Woman sat on the high ground, facing the setting sun, overlooking the river crossing at Red Stone, the important crossroads where Nemacolin's Trail crossed at the only low riverbanks in the area. She held court in the ruins of a red stone building constructed by the People of Olden Times.
