shaws, and Weas, the Ottawas of Blanchard’s Fork and Roche de Bout, 
and the Chippewas and Munsees. <A few years of occupation again found 
the advancing white settlements encroaching upon their domain, with 
the usual accompanying demand for more land. Cessions, first of a 
portion and finally of the remnant, of these reservations followed, coupled 
with the removal of the Indians to Indian Territory. These several 
reservations and cessions must be indicated upon a map of “ secondary 
cessions.” 
Object illustration is much more striking and effective than mere verbal 
description. In order, therefore, to secure to the reader the clearest 
possible understanding of the subject, there is herewith presented as an 
illustration a map of the State of Indiana, upon which is delineated the 
boundaries of the different tracts of land within that State ceded to the 
United States from time to time by treaty with the various Indian 
tribes. 
These cessions are as follows : 
No. 1. A tract lying east of a line running from opposite the mouth 
of Kentucky River, in a northerly direction, to Fort Recovery, in Ohio, 
and which forms a small portion of the western end of the cession made 
by the first paragraph of article 3, treaty of August 3, 1795, with the 
Wyandots, Delawares, Miamis, and nine other tribes. Its boundaries 
are indicated by scarlet lines. The bulk of the cession is in Ohio. 
No. 2. Six miles square at confluence of Saint Mary’s and Saint 
Joseph’s Rivers, including Fort Wayne; also ceded by treaty of August 
3, 1795, and bounded on the map by scarlet lines. 
No. 3. Two miles square on the Wabash, at the end of the Portage of 
the Miami of the Lake; also ceded by treaty of August 3, 1795, and 
bounded on the map by scarlet lines. 
No.4. Six miles square at Ouatenon, or Old Wea Towns, onthe Wabash; 
also ceded by treaty of August 3, 1795, and bounded on the map by 
scarlet lines. This tract was subsequently retroceded to the Indians 
by article 8, treaty of September 30, 1809, and finally included within 
the Pottawatomie cession of October 2, 1818, and the Miami cession of 
October 6, 1818. 
No. 5. Clarke’s grant on the Ohio River; stipulated in deed from Vir- 
ginia to the United States in 1784 to be granted to General George 
Rogers Clarke and his soldiers. This tract was specially excepted from 
the limits of the Indian country by treaty of August 3, 1795, and is 
bounded on the map by scarlet lines. 
No. 6, “Post of Vincennes and adjacent country, to which the Indian 
title has been extinguished.” This tract was specially excluded from the 
limits of the Indian country by treaty of August 3, 1795. Doubt having 
arisen as to its proper boundaries, they were specifially defined by treaty 
of June 7, 1805. It is known as the ‘ Vincennes tract”; is partly in 
Ilinois, and is bounded on the map by scarlet lines. 
No. 7. Tract ceded by the treaties of August 18, 1804, with the Dela-
