Images of Historical Cincinnati Images of Historical Cincinnati Cincinnati's history extends back nearly two hundred years. Grasping an understanding of the city at various times in its history is inevitably illusive and abstract. The process, however, is aided immeasurably by studying visual as well as written artifacts. The Cincinnati Historical Society possesses a diverse array of materials that supports efforts to understand Cincinnati's history and some of the most useful are visual. Conversely, an awareness of events and basic trends in the history of the city frequently can enrich the enjoyment of art works and other visual materials. In the pages that follow, a brief overview of the city's history is coupled with a sampling of images from CHS's collections of paintings, lithographs, etchings, maps, and photo- graphs. It is a sketchy, but a handsome, portrait of the Queen City made possible by the gifts of many donors over more than a century and made presentable in this 150th year of the Society by a gift from The First National Bank of Cincinnati that funded their conservation. William Louis Sonntag (attr.), View of the Ohio River at Maysville, Kentucky (c. 1850).

Thrall, I9I3- In the 1780s, the settlers of Kentucky called the area of southwest Ohio where Cincinnati now stands the "Miami Slaughterhouse." This land was home for the people of the powerful Miami Indian Confederation who were determined to defend their land and their way of life from the intrusion of the white man. 234 Simon Kenton (1755-1836) fled west in 1771 Benjamin Logan (c. 1743-1802) was born and from his native Virginia believing he had killed raised in Virginia.

By the close of the Revolutionary War, Kentucky already had 70,000 set- tlers, but few white men dared to venture north of the Ohio River. The newly formed United States government, eager to open the Northwest Territory, ignored the fact that no treaty had yet been signed with the Indians, and in 1788 sold a vast tract of land between the Great and Little Miami rivers to John Cleves Symmes. This land was known as the Miami Purchase. The villages of Columbia (located at the present site of Lunken Airport), Losanti- ville (present day Cincinnati), and North Bend (west of Cincinnati) were 235 A Map of part of the N: W: Territory of the United States: compiled from Actual Surveys, and the best Information, 1796.

While serv- ing in the Continental Congress from New Jersey, in 1787 Symmes became interested in the western lands on the Ohio River between the Great and Little Miami rivers. He was appointed a judge for the Northwest Territory in 1788 and moved to the region where, in January 1789, he founded North Bend. By 1794 he succeeded in purchasing slightly more than 300,000 acres in the region, though this was only a fraction of what the original Congressional grant had made available to him.

In August 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, General Anthony Wayne de- feated the Indians, and with the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, the way was cleared for the rapid settlement of the rich lands of the North- west Territory. 236 Fort Washington Garrison. The selection of Losantiville as the site for a fort helped the settlement eclipse those nearby. Initially built in 1789 and garrisoned with 300 soldiers, the fort was the site of training of soldiers for Indian battles. Following the Treaty of Green- ville in 1795, the security provided by the fort was a less significant factor in the community's growth. The garrison was moved across the river in 1803 and the fort itself was dismantled in 1809. Oil on canvas. 27 x 35 in. Gift of Clifford A. Wiltsee, 1966. Cincinnati — 1800.

Cincinnati, located on the major artery into the western interior, the Ohio River, grew quickly in the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1811 the first steamboat on the western waters, the "Orleans," arrived at Cincin- nati, and for the first time goods could come easily upstream increasing the city's importance as a central shipping point. In these years men such as Dr. Daniel Drake and Martin Baum, promoters and visionaries, worked to develop the city's commercial and economic potential. But for Cincinnati to exploit fully the commercial advantages offered by the river and steamboat, 238 Martin (1765-1831) and Ann Wallace (1780-1864) Baum built "Belmont" as their home about 1820. Now the Taft Museum, the building remains among Cincinnati's most handsome structures. Martin Baum came to Cincinnati in 1795 from Maryland. In 1804, he married Ann Sommerville Wallace who, with her parents and family, had migrated to Ohio from Delaware. Martin Baum was involved in numerous business ventures that included founding the Miami Exporting Company (which operated the first bank in the West), a sugar refinery, iron foundry and flour mill. He also engaged in land speculation, the operation of riverboats and the promotion of diverse educational and literary organizations. Martin Baum: Oil on board. 29 x 22 in. Society Purchase, 1929.

In 1800 his family sent him to Cincinnati to study medicine with Dr. William Goforth. He supplemented his training by attending the University of Pennsylvania. In 1819 he obtained a charter and founded the Ohio Medical College (now the Medical College of the University of Cincinnati). During his adult life he lived intermittently in Cincinnati and was among the city's major promoters. He helped found a library, museum, debating club, hospital, medical journal, lunatic asylum, grocery store, and apothecary shop. Drake also wrote several scientific and medical books that contain historically valuable information. Charles Meurer (1865-1955) was raised in Clarksville, Tennessee before moving with his family to Cincinnati in 1881. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and in France. While best known for his still-lifes, Meurer also painted landscapes and portraits. Oil on canvas. 24V2 x 2o'/2 in.

The solution adopted was a system of canals focusing on Cincinnati. When the Miami-Erie Canal opened in 1830, Cincinnati ceased to be just another promising river town in the wilderness, and the nickname "Queen of the West" was heard and written with increasing frequency. 239 View of Cincinnati from Covington, Kentucky.

  • The Annals of Iowa for Their Critiques
    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry.

  • The History of the Land of Indian Hill
    513-721-LAND(5263) [email protected] The History of the Land of Indian Hill Blome Road Bridge c. 1888 Blome Road Bridge was built in 1888 by The Queen City Bridge Company. It is a one lane bridge that crosses over Sycamore Creek. It is the only surviving bridge by The Queen City Bridge Company. Blome Bridge is 127 years old. It was created with a pin connected Pratt through truss bridge, making it unusual in design. It was composed of six panels, most noted for slight skew. The Queen City Bridge Company used pipe railing that passes through the vertical members and also the end post. It was great for horse and wagon passage. The Blome Road Bridge was restored by Hamilton County in 1990. Hamilton County built a beam bridge underneath the truss bridge so not to alter the original design and materials. Buckingham House c. 1790 The Buckingham House is one of the few farm houses left in Indian Hill; built during the Civil War. The Buckingham’s came to Ohio in 1790. They purchased 1,100 acres of land in Indian Hill, known as Camp Dennison. They owned and operated mills on the Little Miami River. The Buckingham home is surrounded by 13 acres of land called Bonnell Park. Indian Hill Bridges There are two bridges in Indian Hill. One is located at Shawnee Run Road and State Route 126. This bridge was used by Pennsylvania Railroad trains to move cargo. Today the remnants of the bridge can still be seen by bicyclist and joggers.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

In 1872 the author of this book wrote and published a small book the title of which was, <' Greene County in the War." But the supply being exhausted, a second edition has been published, similar to the first one, but enlarged and revised. In addition to the first book, sketches of other regiments have been added, together with anecdotes and incidents of the late war ; also, a list of Greene County's soldiers, copied from muster-rolls in the Adjutant General's office at Columbus. In this, as well as the former work, the author does not attempt to give a general history of the rebellion, but simply a history of his own regiment — the Seventy-fourth Ohio — and parts of other organizations in which Greene County was represented. It is not, however, strictly confined to Greene County alone, but other counties in the state, as well. The author having spent considerable time and labor in gettmg out this book, offers it to the public, hoping that it may prove interesting and profitable to its readers.

He saw people, all around him, poor yesterday, rich to-day, who had come into sud- den opulence by some means which they could not have classified among any of the regular occupations of life.” —The Gilded Age ▼ A luxurious Twain’s characters find that getting rich quick is more difficult than they had apartment thought it would be.
