Good view of Duncan's Island and the smaller one was Halidman's Island. May not of spelled that right. There were many tribes that lived on Duncan's island and they fought over it until both the Susquehana and the Juniata ran red with blood. The Susquehannocks were a powerful Iroquoian-speaking tribe who lived along the Susquehanna in Pennsylvania and Maryland. An energetic people living in Algonkian-speaking tribes' territory, they engaged in many wars. In the end, they fell victim to new diseases brought by European settlers, and to attacks by Marylanders and by the Iroquois, which destroyed them as a nation by 1675. A few descendants were among the Conestoga Indians who were massacred in 1763 in Lancaster County.
