  • The Miami Slaughterhouse
    The Miami Slaughterhouse In the 1780’s, a Squirrel could reach Cincinnati from Pittsburg and never touch the ground. In part because of this heavy tree canopy, the land between the Little Miami River and the Great Miami River was known to have some of the richest farm land ever seen. The land between the Miami’s was a special hunting ground for the Indians. They would not give it up without a fight. In 1966, while researching a high school term paper, I found a diary written by Mary Covalt called “Reminiscences of Early Days about the construction and defense of Covalt Station primarily set during the years 1789 until 1795. “ My story tonight is about ordinary men and women coming down the Ohio River to settle in the land between the Little Miami and Great Miami Rivers. The Covalts who came down the Ohio and built Covalt Station in the area now known as Terrace Park were my ancestors. Mary Covalt’s diary along with other letters and personal accounts gives us the chance to use a zoom lens to focus on how life was lived was during this period. This story takes place in the Old Northwest Territory, and more specifically in the Ohio Territory and very specifically in the land between the two Miami Rivers. Not many of us would want to personally experience the sacrifices made to develop this land. Innocently, these pioneers came to a place that would embroil them in a life and death struggle for the next five years. These five years in the Old Northwest Territory would settle once and for all if America’s future growth would be west of the Allegany Mountains.

  • Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany
    ABSTRACT “THE LAND BELONGS TO NEITHER ONE”: NATIVE AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND THE RAID ON PICKAWILLANY In 1752, the Miami settlement at Pickawillany was attacked by a force of Ottawa and Chippewa warriors under the command of a métis soldier from Canada. This raid, and the events that precipitated it, is ideally suited to act as a case study of the role of Native American peoples in the Ohio Country during the first half of the eighteenth century. Natives negotiated their roles and borders with their British and French neighbors, and chose alliances with the European power that offered the greatest advantage. Europeans were alternately leaders, partners, conquerors and traders with the Natives, and exercised varying levels and types of control over the Ohio Country. Throughout the period, each of the three groups engaged in a struggle to define their roles in regards to each other, and to define the borders between them. Pickawillany offers insights into this negotiation. It demonstrates how Natives were not passive victims, but active, vital agents who acted in their own interest. The events of the raid feature a number of individuals who were cultural brokers, intermediaries between the groups who played a central, but tenuous, role in negotiations. It also exhibits the power of ritual violence, a discourse of torture and maiming that communicated meanings to friends and rivals alike, and whose implications shaped the history of the period and perceptions of Natives.

The Buckeye Trail R o completely encircles Ohio and is more than 1,400 a d miles long. The North Country Scenic Trail extends into seven states and will be the longest continuous hiking trail in the United States when completed. Both trails provide long-distance hiking and link historical and scenic features of the state and surrounding areas. MIAMI-ERIE CANAL Running parallel to the Great Miami River through Taylorsville was the Miami-Erie Canal. This hand dug “big ditch,” completed in 1845, took 20 years to construct. A great achievement for its day, it opened the state for commerce by connecting the Ohio River at Cincinnati to Lake Erie at Toledo with a navigable channel. Remnants of the canal can still be found on the north and south sides of the dam.

    “ALL THE NATIONS TO THE SUN SETTING” GEORGE CROGHAN, EXTENDING THE LIMITS OF EMPIRE IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Liberal Studies By Jeffrey Michael Zimmerman, M.B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. December 28, 2015 i ©2015 by Jeffrey Michael Zimmerman All Rights Reserved ii “ALL THE NATIONS TO THE SUN SETTING” GEORGE CROGHAN, EXTENDING THE LIMITS OF EMPIRE IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA Jeffrey Michael Zimmerman, MBA Chair: Ronald M. Johnson, PhD ABSTRACT George Croghan was a mid-eighteenth-century British Indian agent. Born in Ireland, he came to America and settled in Pennsylvania in 1741. As an Ohio Valley fur trader he pushed far enough west to invite destruction of his Great Miami River depot by New France in 1752. Over time he befriended Shawnee, Ohio Huron and Miami Indians. Indian Department Superintendent Sir William Johnson rewarded his countryman’s effectiveness by appointing him western deputy. Britain’s victory in the French and Indian War added Illinois to Croghan’s responsibilities. General Lord Jeffrey Amherst led Britain’s war efforts; he was replaced by General Thomas Gage, under whom Croghan had served at Braddock’s Defeat. Pontiac’s War ensued; Gage and Johnson relied on Croghan, who knew the Ottawa leader, to end it. However, Croghan’s focus became blurred by land speculation. Several western land schemes crafted by Croghan and Philadelphia financier Samuel Wharton either failed or were cut short by the American Revolution.

  • Water Resources Report for the Great Miami River Watershed
    2011-29 2011 WATER RESOURCES REPORT FOR THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER WATERSHED Summary This report summarizes the overall state of water resources in the Great Miami River Watershed for 2011, with an emphasis on the buried valley aquifer and water quantity and quality data. The Miami Conservancy District (MCD) operates and maintains an extensive hydrologic monitoring system. By tracking trends in precipitation, runoff, and groundwater levels, changes to the balance of the hydrologic system of the watershed are assessed. Water quality data also is collected in both surface and groundwater to track annual trends, establish a baseline for future studies, and verify nutrient reductions from landowner incentive programs. WATER QUANTITY The year 2011 was a record setting year with regards to annual precipitation. In 2011 MCD recorded record high annual precipitation within the Great Miami River Watershed. The 2011 mean annual precipitation was 58.89 inches, 19.84 inches above the long-term mean annual precipitation. The above normal precipitation contributed to above normal runoff in the Great Miami River and its tributary streams. The total annual runoff for the Great Miami River Watershed upstream of Hamilton was 29.83 inches, 16.61 inches above the long-term mean annual runoff. The year 2011 was an above normal year for groundwater storage in the Great Miami River buried valley aquifer system. The annual groundwater recharge to aquifers is estimated from stream gaging records for the Great Miami River Watershed. Groundwater recharge in 2011 was estimated to be 15.54 inches, 7.46 inches above the long-term mean annual groundwater recharge.

The study area is composed 15 watershed assessment units (HUC 12s). A total of 61 sampling stations are allocated to this effort and will provide for the assessment of 20 named stream (Table 1). Ambient biology, macrohabitat quality, water column chemistry, and bacteriological data will be collected from most of these sites. Diel water quality (DO, pH, conductivity, and temperature), sediment chemistry (metals, organics, and particle size) will be evaluated at selected sampling locations. Note: Originally, the 2009 Middle GMR survey was to include an addition six HUC 12s, extending sampling coverage to the mainstem segment, between the Mad River and Bear Creek confluences’, and all significant tributaries draining to that reach. However, due to resource constraints, these lower six
