Rev. John Elder and identity in the Pennsylvania backcountry

Summary
Elder was minister at the Paxton Presbyterian church near Harrisburg.He exchanged numerous letters with Governor John Penn, Colonel Joseph Shippen, and other government officials, providing information on conditions in the backcountry. The author believes the letters show how the frontier residents struggled with their identity. They felt that they were viewed as renegades on the frontier, because of their actions against the Conestoga indians and they felt they were being disrespected when referred to as Scotch Irish. He suggests that further study of this identity issue would be worthwhile.

Summary
The article refers to a 17 page letter that John Dickinson wrote to the Paxton Boys in 1764. It follows that group's murder of the Conestoga Indians of Lancaster, PA. The letter is not shown, but the author is making the point that Dickinson, a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly, was trying to persuade the group not to move against the Moravian Indians near Philadelphia by appealing to the Paxton's own self interest and showing understanding for their concerns and motivations.
