He was sent by his master\, Abraham Wood\, with a partner and Appamattuck guides from Fort Henry (present Petersburg\, Virginia) to explore western lands and trade with the Indians west of the Blue Ridge. Though his traveling partner was killed\, Arthur traveled widely with the Tomahitans\, participating in their battles against Spaniards and enemy Indians in the Ohio Valley and elsewhere\, during the Beaver Wars. He entered the Kanawha River Valley\, where he was welcomed by Tomahitan allies\, the Monetons\, into their large village. After two near brushes with death\, Arthur returned to Fort Henry with hope of extending his masterā€™s fur trade westward. Portrayed by Doug Wood of Hurricane.
