Tu-Endie-Wei State Park
Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is located at the confluence of the Kanawha River and the Ohio River in downtown Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The park commemorates the Battle of Point Pleasant, fought between the settler militia of Virginia and the forces of Shawnee Chief Cornstalk on October 10, 1774. The militia victory by the settlers weakened the alliance between native forces and the British and freed up settlers from western Virginia to cross the Allegheny Mountains and join in the American Revolutionary War.
The name "Tu-Endie-Wei" refers to the Wyandot Indian phrase meaning "the point between two waters" in English.〔(Tu-Endie-Wei State Park web site, accessed July 20, 2006 )〕
The Battle of Point Pleasant has been recognized as the first battle of the American Revolutionary War by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.〔(''Battle of Point Pleasant, First Battle of the American Revolution'', Livia Nye Simpson Poffenbarger,1909, web site reproduction, accessed July 20, 2006. )〕 Female descendants of battle veterans are allowed to join the D.A.R. The historical debate about the first battle claim may not yet be resolved.〔( ''"Manufactured History": Re-Fighting the Battle of Point Pleasant'', J. WV History, Volume 56 (1997), pp. 76-87. (Article considers the historical debate regarding the claim that the Battle of Point Pleasant was a battle of the American Revolutionary War.) )〕
