Our Rich History Is Not Forgotten: the Lchs Historical Marker Program OUR RICH HISTORY IS NOT FORGOTTEN: THE LCHS HISTORICAL MARKER PROGRAM Logan County has a rich and diverse history that rivals any of the other counties in Ohio. From prehistoric Paleo Indians who hunted the great mastodons that once roamed this area, to the Shawnee, Wyandot and other historic tribes that called it home, to the white settlement of the area, to its heyday as a railroad artery, to its Million Dollar Playground at Indian Lake, to the present, Logan County’s history has been one of immense interest and importance. The Historical Society has preserved and promoted Logan County’s history in many ways. One has been the historical marker program. The Society first began erecting the markers in the 1940s. Many of the early markers recognized the importance of historic Indians in Logan County’s past. Over the next several decades the Society erected many more markers commemorating important people, sites and events that affected Logan County’s history and development. The Society is continuing this practice today with new markers and replacing older ones that have been damaged or lost. The Historical Society is not the only entity that has celebrated the county’s history through markers. Several of the villages in Logan County have erected monuments for certain historical events or people in their past. The county also has a few markers that individuals or organizations have sponsored. These markers, like those of the Society, were erected to commemorate people, events, and sites that helped shape Logan County’s history. ZANE-KENTON MEMORIAL—Route 5 at south edge of Zanesfield. The people of Zanesfield placed the first historical marker in Logan County when they unveiled the Isaac Zane-Simon Kenton Memorial on September 8, 1914. The monument is a 60 ton boulder that the people moved from Bristol Ridge near Zanesfield, and then placed bronze plaques on the rock honoring Zane and Kenton. The Isaac Zane plaque reads: In memory of Isaac Zane, the White Eagle of the Wyandots. Born in Berkley County, Virginia in 1753. Died at Zanesfield in 1816, aged 63 years. Captured by the Wyandot Indians in 1762 and carried to the valley of the Mad River. He grew to manhood among the Indians and married the daughter of Chief Tarhe. He was the first settler in the Mad River valley by nearly half of a century. His fort and cabin were the center of a new civilization and the town was named in his honor. His labors and influence for peace in behalf of the whites, and his service for his country was recognized and rewarded by the government. The captivity of the young Virginian and his union with the daughter of the Wyandots proved to be a blessing of the settlers of the valleys of the Mad River, the Miami and the great Northwest. 1753-1816. The Simon Kenton plaque reads: In memory of Gen. Simon Kenton, born in Culpepper County, Virginia in 1755 and died in 1836, aged 81 years. Left his native county in early youth for a frontier life in the great Northwest. Captured by the Indians in 1778 and brought to Wapatomica, a Shawnee village near Zanesfield, where he was compelled to run the gauntlet, and later sentenced to death by burning at the stake, from which fate he was rescued by the intercession of his old friend, Simon Girty. He served his country on the frontier as a spy, scout, and soldier during the Revolutionary War and in many Indian conflicts. Elected Brigadier General of the Militia and did valuable service in the War of 1812. Settled in Zanesfield early in the 19th century, later moved to his farm three miles north, where he died, beloved by all who knew him. 1755-1836. SLOAN LIBRARY—2817 Sandusky St., Zanesfield. Dr. Earl S. Sloan built a memorial in his own name that will perpetuate it long after it would have been forgotten, and gave it to the readers of Logan County. The beautiful Sloan Library (1914) stands in his hometown of Zanesfield as a fitting memorial to his liberal good will in the permanent welfare of his native community. WORLD WAR I MEMORIAL—In 1919 the American Legion Auxiliary of Herold Kerr Post #173 erected a granite boulder with a bronze plaque on the northwest corner of the old Carnegie Library’s lawn in Bellefontaine (corner of Main St. and Sandusky St.). The plaque reads: To honor those of Bellefontaine, Ohio who answered their country’s call and gave their services for the great Cause of Liberty. 1917-1919. PICKRELLTOWN WAR MEMORIAL was erected in their town square in 1921. The text reads: In memory of all Monroe Township in service, World War, 1917-1919. H.F. Bushong. Died in France, October 28, 1918, and Forest E. Dubbs, killed in Battle of France, June 9, 1918. BLUE JACKET HOMESITE—In 1928 the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a small bronze plate on granite boulder along S. Detroit St. in honor of Chief Blue Jacket. It reads: This marks the site of the home of Blue Jacket, celebrated chief of the Shawnee Indians. BLUE JACKET TOWN—The Revolutionary Trails Memorial Assoc. erected a sign on the northwest corner of the Courthouse lawn commemorating Blue Jacket. It reads: Here lived the famous Shawnee Chief who led the “Seven Nations” in their defeat at Fallen Timbers. He later was prominent in the making of the famous Treaty of Greenville. WAPATOMICA—A sign at the junctions of roads 5 & 29, south of Zanesfield, reads: The site of the Shawnee village Wapatomica. Destroyed in 1786 by Gen. Logan. The home of Black Hoof. Simon Kenton ran the gauntlet here in 1778. General Council of Seven Indian Nations was held here in 1782. **Please note that Wapatomica is state owned and there is no trespassing. MACKACHACK TOWN—A sign located at the intersection of roads 47 & 245, near the entrance of Castle Mac-A- Cheek, reads: Nearby stood the Shawnee village of Mackachack or Mac-A-Cheek. This village was the first of the Shawnee towns to be attacked by Gen. Benjamin Logan’s mounted Kentucky militia in the fall of 1786. In all, the American forces destroyed eight Shawnee towns in the Mac-O-Chee Valley. Simon Kenton was forced to run one of his nine gauntlets at Mackachack while a captive of the Shawnee in 1778. KENTON’S FARM— At the junctions of roads 2, 5, & 25 stood a roadside marker pointing towards Simon Kenton’s Farm. The sign read: Two miles north was the last home and farm of the famous pioneer, scout, and soldier, Simon Kenton. Here, after his long and active life in the interests of civilizations, he died in 1836. The sign is broken and no longer at this location. ORIGINAL BURIAL PLACE OF SIMON KENTON—Kenton’s original burial place is up over the hills of roads 5 & 533 about a quarter of a mile north after crossing road 540 on a hilltop east of 533. The inscription on the stone reads: The original burial place of General Simon Kenton. Born in Virginia 1753. Died April 29, 1836. CORNER STONE OF KENTON’S HOUSE—Nearby the burial site is a corner stone with the inscription: The corner stone of the house in which General Simon Kenton died April 29, 1836. Do Not Remove. ZANESFIELD—The Revolutionary Commission placed a sign in 1930, along road 5 in Zanesfield, at the Sloan Library lawn. The sign reads: Zanesfield, site of three blockhouses, Robert Robitaille Trading Post built in 1793, the English fort by Co. Logan in 1786, and the graves of Isaac Zane and his wife Myeerah, daughter of Chief Tarhee. FIRST CONCRETE STREET—In 1941, the Bellefontaine Junior Chamber of Commerce erected a monument on the north side of the Courthouse lawn that reads: This is the first Portland Cement Concrete street built in the United States. Constructed in 1891. Here started the better roads improvement, which has given our citizens from coast to coast swift and sure transportation. 1891-1941. KITTY HAWK PYLON—In 1948 a replica of the Kitty Hawk pylon was erected on the Tanger Airport grounds about 100 feet from Columbus Ave. The pylons are now at the Bellefontaine Airport on N. 68. The senior Boy Scouts of Bellefontaine, who were organized as an Air Scout Squadron, dedicated it with a large public ceremony. Its three sides bear bronze plaques. One reads: Pylon dedicated by Bellefontaine Air Squadron Number 2, August 1, 1948 on the 36th anniversary of the first airplane flight made from this field. Another says: In recognition of Clarence H. Wissler, pioneer designer, and builder of airplanes since 1909. The third states: In recognition of Laurence Rausenberger, pioneer designer, builder of airplane engines. First flight from this field August 1, 1912. FIRST PERMANENT SUNDAY SCHOOL—The South Union Mennonite Church erected a sign along U.S. 68 between Bellefontaine and West Liberty. The sign reads: The first permanent Sunday School in the Old Mennonite Church, founded by the authority of the church, was organized in the Amish Mennonite Church, now South Union Church, one and seven tenths miles northwest of this location, June 7, 1863 by Preacher David Plank, assisted by Bishop Jacob C. Kenagy with the counsel of the congregation. Erected October 13, 1963. LEWIS COUNCIL HOUSE—Erected by the Logan County Historical Society in 1947, this marker is located on Road 91 at the southeast edge of Lewistown. It reads: COUNCIL HOUSE. A few feet south stood the log Council House. Captain John Lewis, Shawnee Chief, for whom the village was named, lived 800 feet southeast with Polly Keyser, his captive wife drudge.

  • War and Legitimacy: the Securement of Sovereignty in the Northwest Indian War
    i ABSTRACT WAR AND LEGITIMACY: THE SECUREMENT OF SOVEREIGNTY IN THE NORTHWEST INDIAN WAR During the post-revolution period, the newfound constitutional government of the United States faced a crisis of sovereignty and legitimacy. The Old Northwest region, encompassing what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was disputed between several groups. The U.S. government under George Washington claimed the region and sought to populate the land with white settlers, British officials in North America wished to reestablish British hegemony in the Ohio River valley and Native-Americans wished to protect their ancestral homeland from foreign invasion. In the 1790s, war broke out between a British backed alliance of Native tribes and the United States of America. Historians have named this conflict the Northwest Indian War. Examining government records, personal correspondences between Washington administration officials and military commanders, as well as recollections of soldiers, officials and civilians this thesis explores the geopolitical causes and ramifications of the Northwest Indian War. These sources demonstrate how the war was a reflection of a crisis which threatened the legitimacy to American sovereignty in the West. Furthermore, they also demonstrate how the use of a professional federal standing army was used by Washington’s government to secure American legitimacy.

  • LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook
    LENAPE VILLAGES OF DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook After the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, many bands of Lenape (Delaware) Native Americans found themselves without a place to live. During the previous 200 years, the Lenape had been pushed west from their ancestral homelands in what we now call the Hudson and Delaware river valleys ­ first into the Pennsylvania Colony in the mid­1700s and then into the Ohio Country around the time of the American Revolution. After the Revolution, many Natives living in what the new American government quickly carved out to be the Northwest Territory, were alarmed of the growing encroachment from white settlers. In response, numerous Native groups across the territory formed the pan­tribal Western Confederacy in an attempt to block white settlement and to retain Native territory. The Western Confederacy consisted of warriors from approximately forty different tribes, although in many cases, an entire tribe wasn’t involved, demonstrating the complexity and decentralized nature of Native American political alliances at this time. Several war chiefs led the Western Confederacy’s military efforts including the Miami chief Mihšihkinaahkwa (Little Turtle), the Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket), the Ottawa chief Egushawa, and the Lenape chief Buckongahelas. The Western Confederacy delivered a series of stunning victories over American forces in 1790 and 1791 including the defeat of Colonel Hardin’s forces at the Battle of Heller’s Corner on October 19, 1790; Hartshorn’s Defeat on the following day; and the Battle of Pumpkin Fields on October 21. On November 4 1791, the forces of the territorial governor General Arthur St.

VOL. 106 Was the Shawnee War Chief Blue Jacket a Caucasian?1 CAROLYN D. ROWLAND, R. V. VAN TREES, MARC S. TAYLOR, MICHAEL L. RAYMER, AND DAN E. KRANE, Forensic Bioinformatics, Inc., Dayton, OH 45324; Fairborn, OH 45324; Technical Associates Inc., Ventura, CA 93003; Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State University, Dayton, OH 45435; and Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, OH 45435 ABSTRACT. Two distinctly different origins have been ascribed to the great Shawnee war chief Blue Jacket who played a pivotal role in the early history of southwestern Ohio. By one very popular account, he was a captured Caucasian who embraced the ways of the Shawnee and came to lead their warriors in a campaign that unified all the Indian tribes of the Ohio River Valley against the United States of America. In contrast, modern day Shawnee Indians who still bear the Blue Jacket surname suggest that the legendary War Chief was unequivocally a Native American. Y-STR haplotyping of six living, direct male descendants of Chief Blue Jacket and of four direct male descendants/relatives of the Caucasian family that has become intertwined with the history of the Shawnee tribe is described in this study. Barring any questions of the paternity of the Chief’s single son who lived to produce male heirs, the “Blue Jacket- with-Caucasian-roots” is not based on reality.

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.

    A Thesis Entitled The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville: Why Did Anthony Wayne Win Both and Could He Have Lost? By Bryce Dixon Blair Jr. Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Liberal Studies ____________________ Advisor: Dr. Alfred Cave ____________________ Committee Member: Dr. Michael Jakobson ____________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo May 2005 Acknowledgements This thesis project would have forever remained an uncompleted enigma without crucial support and assistance from several people. My first and most heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Cherie. She worked even harder as almost a single parent during the long hours of reading, research, and writing that quite often kept me away from the family. She left me alone when I needed privacy and solitude and she prodded me to varying degrees when I needed greater focus and motivation. She has also been my invaluable technical advisor for the art of computer science. Though they are too young to appreciate this now, I thank my two young children, Bryce and Eryn, for accepting an absent Dad at times. They provided me with love and attention and much needed respites from academic pursuits. I thank my parents, Bryce and Eleanor, who have always placed a strong emphasis on intelligence and education by example but have done so without judgement. My mother lent me a copy of James Thom’s Panther In The Sky about a dozen years ago and this helped to rejuvenate my interest in this historical era. Special credit is due my thesis committee: Dr.
