 * Nice find. It is very interesting to read about Cherokee in Pennsylvania.  Never heard of that before.  Lots of the info seems to be legend rather than fact. Dincher (talk) 16:51, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I know the Iroquois would head south to fight the Cherokee in the Carolinas. I assumed that the Cherokee were heading north to return the favor, but also never heard of them living long term in Pennsylvania or even traveling through.

It seems possible that they may have camped at Ravensburg. It would be easy to defend. Perhaps Kevin Myers has more information. Dincher (talk) 18:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I asked him on his talk page. Dincher (talk) 19:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I checked the book "Indinas in Pennsylvania" and although it mentions the Cherokee a few times, it is always in a context of them being outside of PA. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey guys, I agree that the story appears to be legend rather than history. According to the note at the end of the newspaper article, the story comes from the writings of Henry W. Shoemaker, who collected Pennsylvania folklore. So if you wanted to mention the tale in the article, you might say something like "According to folklore recorded by Henry W. Shoemaker, ...." —Kevin Myers 03:08, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much and thanks for the helpful suggestion on how to present this material in the article. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 15:34, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you very much. I didn't catch that bit at the end.  Dincher (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
