In fall 1753, a twenty-one-year-old Virginia militia officer named George Washington journeyed into the Ohio Country to inform French soldiers there that they were encroaching on British territory. The young Washington kept a journal of his three-month trip, recording his impressions of the British fur traders, French military officers, and Indians he met along the way. In one such passage, he mentioned visiting "Queen Alliquippa . . . I made her a Present of a Matchcoat and a Bottle of Rum, which latter was thought much the best Present of the two." Who exactly was Queen Aliquippa, and why did the young militia officer feel it necessary to pay his respects to her, even as he insinuated that she was more interested in drinking than diplomacy? Sauvagesse Iroquoise (Iroquois Woman). Unfortunately, we know very little about this woman. Besides Washington's mention of her, there are two other tantalizing references to her in contemporary sources. Conrad Weiser met her during a journey to Logstown in 1748. In his journal, he mentioned stopping at an Indian town "where an old Seneca woman reigns with great authority." During his stay at Logstown, Weiser was visited by the "old Sinicker [Seneca] Queen" again, this time because she wanted to know what had happened to a message she had sent to Philadelphia.
