Robert Griffing Limited Edition Print: " I Think We Have Company "
Artist: Robert Griffing
Title: I Think We Have Company
Edition Size: 950
Medium: Print
Dimensions: 27" x 18.5"
About the Art: The treaty of Ft. Stanwix in 1768 ceded all land east of the Ohio River to the English. The land to the west of the great river was to remain native forever. Almost immediately Pennsylvania and Virginia scurried for control of the newly open territory. Both provinces sent settlers to stake claims in the Ohio country. The military, fur trading companies and even missionaries all tried to snatch a part of the new land. Each was taking advantage of the other. Often the zeal for land ignored the laws of treaties. Some settlers even went so far as to attack bands of natives in hopes of precipitating yet another war, thereby extending the frontier further west.
For the natives, the clear-cut alliances of the preceding decade gave way to a confusing array of competition and deceit. The demise of Pontiac's war left many tribes disillusioned. The Indians split into factions. Many wished to continue resisting the whites while others only wanted peace. Some attempted to stem the flow of whites in the council house while others moved west. To complicate matters further, dislocated native bands from the east brought even more pressure to the valley. The Ohio country had become a bubbling cauldron of self-interest and greed.
