But two n historians agree on still another theory. Dr. Joseph Doddridge, author of Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania from 1763 to 1783, traces the origin of the name back to Colonial days when Indians were still a menace to the white men. All during the summer, settlers in the more harassed sections had to live behind stockades in constant dread of Indian raids.

The prehensions of another visit from the Indians and of being driven back to the detested fort Were painful in the highest degree. First Us of Name. The earliest known printed reference to the name Indian made 'by a Summer was-thaFrenchman, St. John Creve-coeu- r who- lived- at Pine Hill, Orange county, N. Y., late in the Eighteenth century. In an essay, A Snow Storm as It Affects the American Farmer, written some time between 1769 and 1779 and first printed in 1782 he called' it IEte Sauvage, a frfee translation of which would be Indian Summer. In this essay he said, After the fall of leaves, but before any snowfall, comes a rainy period. Great rains at last replenish the springs, the brooks, the swamps and impregnate the earth. Then a severe frost succeeds which prepares it to re? Ceive the voluminous coat of snow which is soon to follow; though it is often preceded by a short interval of smoke and mildness, called the Indian Summer. This is in general the invariable rule: Winter is not said properly to begin until these few moderate days and the rising of the waters have announced it to man. This antedates by at least a decade the first printed reference attributed to Maj. Eben-ezeDenny, an officer in the Revolution who later served with Harmar's and St. Clair's expeditions against the Western Indians. In 1794 Major Denny was stationed at LeBoeuf, a few miles from the present city of Erie, Pa., and on October 13 he wrote, in his diary: Pleasant weather. The Indian Summer here. Frosty nights. Since those days Indian Summer has been a favorite theme for writers and artists.
