Andrew
Montour
(ca.
1710 - 1774)
Mediator/Scout
Born of Franco-Iroquoian heritage,
Montour served the interests of Virginia and
Pennsylvania against the French in the upper
Ohio Valley. He was a master of complex frontier
diplomacy who could speak French, English, and
at least seven native tongues. In 1752 he accompanied
William Trent down the Ohio River, exploring
large areas in present-day West Virginia between
the Kanawha and Monongahela rivers.
