  • Betty Zane by Zane Grey</H1>
    Betty Zane by Zane Grey Betty Zane by Zane Grey Etext prepared by Bill Brewer, [email protected] BETTY ZANE by ZANE GREY TO THE BETTY ZANE CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR NOTE In a quiet corner of the stately little city of Wheeling, West Va., stands a monument on which is inscribed: "By authority of the State of West Virginia to commemorate the siege of Fort Henry, Sept 11, 1782, the last battle of the American Revolution, this tablet is here placed." page 1 / 442 Had it not been for the heroism of a girl the foregoing inscription would never have been written, and the city of Wheeling would never have existed. From time to time I have read short stories and magazine articles which have been published about Elizabeth Zane and her famous exploit; but they are unreliable in some particulars, which is owing, no doubt, to the singularly meagre details available in histories of our western border. For a hundred years the stories of Betty and Isaac Zane have been familiar, oft-repeated tales in my family--tales told with that pardonable ancestral pride which seems inherent in every one. My grandmother loved to cluster the children round her and tell them that when she was a little girl she had knelt at the feet of Betty Zane, and listened to the old lady as she told of her brother's capture by the Indian Princess, of the burning of the Fort, and of her own race for life.

  • The Emigrant Tribes
    The Emigrant Tribes Wyandot, Delaware & Shawnee A Chronology Larry K. Hancks Kansas City, Kansas 1998 ii this work ¡s dedicated with appreciation and gratitude to the memory of MRS. THELMA R. MARSH iii INTRODUCTION This paper had its genesis in research begun in 1977, when work resumed on projected improvements to the Huron Indian Cemetery in Kansas City, Kansas. The project had been held in abeyance for several years following the termination of the Kansas City, Kansas Urban Renewal Agency, and there had been some question as to whether or not the City would ever proceed with it. Once the decision was made, the project architect, Gene Buchanan, asked if I would help in reviewing the research materials that had been compiled by Urban Renewal. My task was two-fold: to review the inscriptions and locations of the new grave markers to be installed, and to try to edit a new text for the entry plaques from two very different versions that had been prepared, by Charles W. E. Garrad and Robert S. Wood. Both tasks were eventually completed, although not without criticism (some of it quite justified). In the process, I began a fascination with the Wyandot Indians and their history that has lasted over twenty years. In 1981, I was asked to make a presentation on the history of the three emigrant tribes that settled in the Kansas City area for an annual course on the history and culture of Wyandotte County, taught by Paul Jewell at the Kansas City, Kansas Community College. Struggling to find a way to keep events straight enough in my own mind to make a coherent presentation, I began work on the present chronology.

  • Feisty Females from Ohio
    By: Bette Lou Higgins Copyright 2020 Eden Valley Enterprises ©2020 FEISTY FEMALES FROM OHIO On March 1, 1803, Ohio became the 17th state in the Union. It takes its name from the River which forms its southern boundary, whose name in turn originated from the Seneca word ohiːyo', meaning "good river", "great river" or "large creek". Ohio is known as the "Buckeye State" after the tree, not the candy! It has the carnation as the state flower and the cardinal as the state bird. It boasts two nicknames: “The Birthplace of Aviation” and “The Heart of It All.” It also has two anthems: “Beautiful Ohio” and (for better or worse), "Hang On Sloopy". Its motto is “With God, all things are possible.” Many important people have come from Ohio: Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, John Glenn, Chef Boiardi and Tecumseh, The Shawnee warrior and chief, to name a few MMM… there’s something strange about that list… What? No women?! Not to worry! Ohio has produced MANY feisty females. Here’s a quick overview: Elizabeth "Betty" Zane McLaughlin Clark was a heroine of the Revolutionary War on the American frontier. She was born: July 19, 1759 in West Virginia. Her family moved here sometime around 1769. Feisty Females 2 On September 11, 1782, the Zane family was at Fort Henry in Wheeling, West Virginia which was under siege by Native Americans who were allies of the British. While Betty was loading a rifle, her father was wounded and fell from the top of the fort right in front of her.
