  • INTRODUCTION the BEGINNINGS Nothing Challenges the Historical
    INTRODUCTION THE BEGINNINGS Nothing challenges the historical imagination more than trying to recapture the landscape of the past. To imagine Springdale without the sounds of the automobile, the smells of gasoline and rubber, the hardness of the cement, the glare of street lights and the bright signs of the shopping malls seems almost impossible. Yet there was a time when the modern urban community that is today's Springdale was little more than a lush forest full of abundant natural resources undisturbed by human settlement. Along with the low rush of the wind, common sounds would have been the chirping of quail, parakeet and the passenger pigeon, the honk of wild geese and turkey, and the grunt of boars rooting the earth for acorns underneath the sturdy stands of oak. The odor of the virgin soil and the mushiness of vegetation slowly decaying in the perpetual forest gloom naturally complimented the contours of the gentle and rolling land, broken occasionally by natural ravines and small creeks. Over time humans, first Native Americans and then Europeans, altered the terrain. Yet essentially the contour remains as it was when the Miami Indian felt the lilt of the land beneath his feet as he made his way across it in search of game. He trod a well- beaten path or trace. From time immemorial, long before the first white explorer intruded, Springdale's destiny was shaped by its location on a key transportation route. The end of the American Revolution signaled a period of discovery and prolonged movement and settlement of the wilderness that is now the United States.

  • Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument
    Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument by ARTHUR G. KING, M. D. On Memorial Day, May 30, 1963, in an impressive ceremony at the site, the restored Fort Washington Monument was dedicated. The original monument had stood at Third and Ludlow Streets since 1901, but was dismantled in the 1950's when the Third Street Distributor was constructed. The new monument contains a revised inscription and a corrected map; on the map of the old monument, the location of the Fort was in error. We take pride in the fact that our Society has been vitally instru- mental in the planning and completion of the new monument. Moreover, HPSO Collection Unveiling of the Fort Washington Monument June 14, 1901 Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument 203 the main address for the dedicatory ceremony was presented by Arthur G. King, M.D., the most knowledgeable authority on Fort Washington, who represented the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio. We take pleasure in presenting Dr. King's remarks.

  • How the Americans Lost the Battle of Kekionga
    General Josiah Harmar’s Campaign Reconsidered: How the Americans Lost the Battle of Kekionga Michael S. Warner” Some jealousies took place, and reproaches ensued. Complaints, indeed, forever fol- low misfortune, as that is but too often the companion of misconduct. Humphrey Marshall, The History of Kentucky, 1812. General Josiah Harmar’s campaign against the “Indian ban- ditti” along the Maumee River in 1790 marks a watershed in the settlement of the Old Northwest and also in the evolution of Amer- ica’s military institutions. His expedition, the Constitutional re- public’s first attempt to impose its will by offensive arms, initiated four years of warfare on the part of the federal government to halt Indian depredations on the Ohio frontier. It was one in a series of events that led to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, to the abandon- ment by Great Britain of the forts still held on American soil, to expansion of the peacetime military establishment, and to the per- manent widening of the federal role in maintaining the nation’s security. Harmar’s campaign remains, paradoxically, both well known to scholars and in many ways not well understood. This state of affairs does not result from a dearth of information. Harmar’s con- temporaries could learn easily the outline of the campaign’s events and could infer from scattered but numerous clues the causes be- hind its failure. Since 1790 many more facts have come to light; yet, in spite of historians’ familiarity with the expedition, signifi- cant aspects of it are still unclear. The campaign’s climactic battle, for example, has never been accurately described and to this day remains nameless.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
