The next reference to the northern Yuchi is in a document printed in the Margry collection under the heading "Rivieres et Peuplades des Pays Decouverts," apparently written by La Salle shortly after his descent of the Mississippi in 1682. Unfortunately the first part is wanting. The fragment preserved begins by speaking of some people who were "neighbors of the Cisca and their allies as well as the Cicaca."4 On the next page, in speaking of the upper Ohio region, he says:

"The Apalatchites, people of English Florida, are not far from some one of its most eastern branches, because they have war with the Tchatake [Cherokee] and the Cisca, one of whose villages they burned, aided by the English. The Ciscas then abandoned their former villages, which were much further to the east than those from which they have come here."5

In a letter written to M. de La Barre somewhat later La Salle refers to the Illinois, Shawnee, and "Cisca" whom he had assembled about Fort St. Louis, near the present Utica, Illinois.8 It is also possible that they are the Chaskpe mentioned in another place in connection with the Shawnee and "Oabano," 7 but still more probable that the Chaskpe (or Cheskape) were a part of the Shawnee, since they appear on early maps farther north than the Chiska, near the Cumberland.

Probably these Yuchi did not remain long at La Salle's fort, but from this time on the tribe appears on numerous maps under several variants of its Algonquian name—Tahogalegas, Taogaria, Tongeria, Taharea. Covens and Mortier place it on the south side of the Ohio just above its junction with the Wabash. Coxe gives it as one of four small tribes located on an island of the same name in Tennessee River.1 Sauvole in a letter of 1701 mentions it, though the name has been misprinted "Coongalees."2 Coxe and most of the remaining authorities represent the tribe as located lower down the Tennessee than any others except the Chickasaw, who at that time had a settlement a few leagues above its mouth.
