Commemorating Two Hundredth Anniversary of First Settlement in Oswego by the White Man Palladium-Times, Inc. Commercial Printing Dept. 0SW’€g0, N. Y. OFFICIAL OPRQGBAM AND BOOK OF WORDS OF The Pageant of Oswego By JOSEPHINE WILHELM \X/ICKSER FOREWORD AND HISTORICAL NOTES BY MISS LIDA S. PENFIELD PAGEANT PRESENTEDV AT FORT ONTARIO Oswego, Y. JULY 4th, 1925 AT 2:00 P. M. THE SPIRIT OF OSWEGO MESS SALLY Mc:C.RATH A ifinrvmnrh By Miss Lida S. Pen.-field Oswego welcomes you to her community birthday party,-- welcomes you, her own children, her neighbors, her friends from near and far, and the stranger within her gates. Oswego rejoices in a wealth of anniversaries. A hundred years ago the Erie Canal was opened. For more than a hundred years the shining beacon of Oswegds lighthouse has guided ships to safe harbor. For more than a hundred years our river has turn» ed the wheels of industry, our forests have furnished timber, and our farm lands have yielded aubndant harvests. Two hundred years ago the far—sighted English colonial goV- ernor, William Burnet, built on the west bank of the river a forti- fied stone storehouse. “This founding of Oswego," says John Fiske, the eminent American historian, in his “New France and New England,” "was an event of prime importance in the history of the United States, inasmuch as it diverted the main current of the northwestern fur trade from the valley of the St. Lawrence to the valley of the Mohawk, and thus greatly strengthened the hold of the English upon the Long House all the way from the Hudson River to Lake Erie.” Three hundred years ago a handful of intrepid white men planted hereabouts the standard bearing the golden lillies of France, thus blazing the trail for the fur trader; the trapper, and the Chris- tian missionary. In times dimly remote, Indian tradition recounts, migrating tribes of the Iroquois found their way inland upon the waters of our river. The Pageant of Oswego will unfold before you, in procession—- al and animated tableaux, glimpses of events significant in. the past development of this community. Through the centuries the river and the lake have brought us our rich historic: heritage. Oswego, venerable in years, faces the future in heart and radiant with the vision of a greater river power, and a wider lake commerce. Our city looks with pride at the mas-— sive bulk of the new State Barge Canal Terminal Elevator that to- day towers at the meeting of the lake and river. lts white walls are for us a majestic water gateway to growth and service.

EPISODE 1. “The Flowing of the Waters’' Prologue Before you now unfolds a tale thatis Writ In stirring deeds! And every line of it. This epic of adventure-—-hardship—---—toil. Which brings renown to our beloved soil, Shall live forever in the Nation’s heart! This record of the days gone by, such part, Such splendid part has played with dignity, Its story shines throughout all history! This spot by many different peoples famed, “The Flowing of the Waters’’ once was named. Here rippling streams and river-sparkling lake——-- For us a wondrous combination make. Here, eye ‘of man with heavenly beauty fills And all his being with deep wonder thrills. Yet little does he ever think, or heed, it How many a glorious act and radiant deed, Was risked by other souls in fearful chance, To bless him with this rich inheritance! Over this Water way, Red l\/lanis canoe, The batteau of the French and English too, Found their first highway through primeval wood, Into this continent! Oswego stood The strongest link of inland wateris chain, Which stretched its silver mesh across the main. Uponithis site, what standards were unfurled! This hiistory belongs to all the world! Yetnéver could thefoot of man eier trod These? shores, had not the wondrous art oliC:od Used as an etcheris tool, a glacial force To trace in living rock this water course! Thus the Creator first laid out the way O'er which the march of Progress still holds sway. Yes! Even Nature's potent forces here Have battle done, to gain perfection clear. Attend! The first scene which our country knows ls pre-Historic. Glistening, sparkling snows, Frost, rime and ice. Chaos and mist of grey Cover the earth, until a golden ray _ Of sunshine, pierces through the blight, to bring The budding promise of the world’s first Spring! (To somber music Glacial spirits appear. Wraiths of mist and fog coverthe earth with their grey garlands. Snow flakes, icicles, polar bears are seen. The Glacial Spirits, joining hands in groups of three or five, whirl in circling rings, making deep glacial scrat- ches in the earth. Suddenly to triumphant music, the Sun ap- proaches in her golden chariot, surrounded by Sunbeams, whose golden darts pierce the mists and drive the blighting spirits off the earth. April showers bring “Springfi who dances in, followed by buds and flowers.) ’ “The Great Lakes were formed by gigantic glaciers frorn the ice cap which covered ,the_.land, grinding and crunching their way southward leaving huge valleys which later became filled with Wat-— er. Glacial scratches and "pot holes" made by stones held in the ice and Whirled around, still show the remarkable records remain-— ing in the earth, ofrthe battle of the forces of Nature."

EPISODE II The Coming of the Indians Prologue Where lndustry’s huge Hammer pounds all day, Where Laboris crashing tumult now holds sway, There echoed once, the voices of the wood! Besides these sparkling waters, lonely stood Small groups of Indian wigwams. lt was here The savage followed trail of beaver, deer, And when the tangled forest hemmed and pressed He found by water way the gateway west. The very streets which some of you have trod, A red man's foot in moccasin soft shod, First made thetrail! A thousand ships are seen Where bark canoe once skimmed the silver sheen. Around these waters, virgin forests grew; Within their depths the lndians roamed, and knew The hunting places of abundant game. Then often to the water’s edge they came To fish at twilight, or at break of morn. In tiny clearings, too, they planted corn, ‘Knowing its value. And they treasured it, And if by any blight a crop was hit, They tried with magic spell to drive away The Evil Spirit that caused black decay. Countless the legends that the lndians had, Of spirits helpful and spirits bad. When round Oswegois torrent, heavy hauls Were carried o’er the portage near the falls, The simple minded savage often thought That all his labor and his toil was bought By evil spirits which nearby did dwell. One legend which the Indians loved to tell Was of the coming of the Spirit Man. One day two Onondagas (thus began The tale) were wandering on the beach, When suddenly, behold! Within their reach Appeared a swift canoe of shining white, Paddled by Spirit Man, a ghostly sight! This Spirit said he came to help them there, To rid them of all trouble! Through his care The corn blight vanished. With his paddle, he Killed at one blow a monster serpentlw--(he Whose power held the current back!) Each rock Which all the lndianis efforts seemed to mock, Was cleared, and of a sudden, on that day Canoes could pass without a portage on their way! So, where the rivers met--—-——--in joyful dance They celebrated their deliverance! The Spirit Man lived with them for a time, Easing all troubles with his might sublime, Then disappeared! And to this far off day The legends of the Iroquois still say ‘Twas Hiawatha, who in this disguise Lived here as man before their very eyes! (A band of Indians enter and a lodge is set up. The squaws pre- pare supper, children play about. Warriors sit in semi—circle about the fire and smoke. Suddenly in great excitement an Indian runner arrives and with many gesticulations shows the way for two Onon- dagas who carry a glistening white canoe, behind which comes the Spirit Man, all in white deer skin costume, a single feather of shin-t ing White in his scalp lock. As he arrives he picks up an ear of corn from a squaw. He examines it, makes solemn passes over it with his hand and returns it to the squaw. She, in wildest e:s:cite- xnent shows it about-—-——it has been cleaned of the blight! The In-— dians break into a mad “Corn Dance.’”) “The first people that lived here were the Iroquois Indians, some» times called the Five Nations, made up as they were of five tribes, Mohawks—-W-Onieidas-———Onondagas-----Cayugas————-Senecas. The riv— ers and lakes made the first paths over which the Indians penetrated the great forests inland in their conoes. The legend of the coming of Hiawatha is one of the Iroquois tales."

The little band of white men then continue across the counw try, carrying the canoes with them.) ’ The French were among the first White people to explore the im land Water ways and the shores of the Great Lakes.

Again we see their fitful camp fires burn, Again the dying shadows fall in turn A On painted savage and on black robed friar. The whispering pines------like faint celestial choirs Seem echoing “Ave l\/laria" still, i Oire moonlit lake and silent, listening hill. Gone are those valiant souls to blessed fields, Rich is the heritage their memory yields! (The Indian runner brings news of the Black Coats of France and Father Simon Le Moine and his attendant brother appear. They are clad in their black robes-----bare feet and sandals. t Rope girdles. The captive Indian squaws doing the hard work of the camp crowd round them. The little children gather about, the Friar laying his hands upon their heads. He holds his crucifix to heaven and sings an “Ave Maria" to the listening Indians. Then the runner leads them away and the camp settles down again.) The Jesuit Friars were the first missionaries. Father Le Moine and his attendants came all the way from Montreal by canoe to make Christians of the Onondaga Indians, l655.

In sixteen eighty~four, in state, we see Monsieur La Barre (French governor he) With company of “kings troops" --—-«motley crew Of hunters, trappers, painted Indians too, Came to Oswego, asking haughtily , That Indian and English cease to be Good friends! He said “If the Five Nations take Our English enemies into the lake And river country which belong to France We will make War!" Then to enhance The dignity befitting his high state, He with grand gesture in an arm chair sate Within the circle drawn upon the ground Where crouched the Indian chiefs! Then at a bound Garangula, the orator arose And answered solemnly, “Each warrior knows That Red Men are born free-—--and lake and land Belong to us—--—-and not to king's cornrnand!" (Monsieur de la Barre, French Governor General of Canada has a council with the Indians. He sits in state in a carved arm chair which is carried in for him and which was brought to Oswego for this purpose from Quebec. Garangula, Indian Chief and orator, walks majestically around the circle of chiefs for five or six times be—- fore he answers the demand made by the French, that the Indians refrain from guiding the English through the lake country. At the close of the council the French depart----the Indians deriding the-In.) Oswego was the great trading post of France and its possession was so important that the French General Governor of Canada, residw ing in Quebec, came in state to Oswego to admonish the Indians not to guide the English over this country.

As the gently rippling river Flowed over. its rocky bed; I caught a drowsy murmilri ‘ While northward its Watersisped. “Never,” the river told me, “For many a long, long year, Did the form of a human being On my placid faceappear." t “Then the paddle of Hiawatha Cxliearned » in i.fth’e ‘dawning light And ‘the glorious Waves of: Ontario Dazfizled the Indiana sight. "Of girleathost he proved the forerunner, Of Iroquois st"r‘on7g, brave and bold, Fierce warriors and many skilled hunters, Whose furs were a treasure untold" But hark to the singing Waves, As‘ they roll on the glisteningibeach! Hark to the whiteécapped waves, a t And hear whatithely haveto teach: “Soon Carrie the English palefaces In acutter with sails to the breeze, To trade for the furs of the hunters Cxaygjtrinkets from over the seas. “The redooatafelled many an oak tree And piled the hewn logs high, So that over Oswegds ramparts The British flag might fly." I heard a rustle and murmur In the top of a great elm tree, As if that forest monarch Would fair). have a Word with me. “French spies oft lurked neath my‘ branches, To conquer, if ounce came the chance, And tear‘ down the British standard To fly the lilies of France. “Soon came the French troops of Montcalm With as-$l“::i1; leader fearless and sane, Who found here three British forts, But allowed not one to remain.” Then up spake a noble oak tree Of a War in which many men died, The war for our nation's freedom, In which our strength was oft tried: “But once again, under St. Leger, British troops tried the land to regain, Crossed Ontario, and on up the river They marched, but the attempt was in vain. “Ever since the great Revolution The starsand stripes fly to the breeze, And guarantee freedom and justice As they Wave o’er the land, lakes and seas. “Thrice since has the flag stood in danger; Thrice have our men answered the call To fight for our mighty nation, That its freedom never should fall.” a The voices of yore are silent, But the Voice of Progress speaks, And tells of the aim for the future That our dear city seeks: “Of your history be proud, oh Oswego, Of your part in the nation's past; But turn your eyes to the future, And work for a peace that shall last!" flflxmiral ifirngram Ifipisode I % GLACIAL SPIRITS DANCE i Morning Mood . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .A....A.w..“.'....Crieg I COMING OF THE SUN Hymn to the Sun God (Arranged from Aida) . . . . . * . . . .Verdi COMING 01: SPRING Spring Song . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .MencIeIssohn Dance of the Flowers . . - - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BIuf¥ King Hal DEPARTURE Melody in F . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Rubenstein Episode II \ I INDIAN CHANT’ V INDIAN CORN DANCE (Arranged by Mrs. C.
