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. -

An Engagement of Some Severity 2009
An Engagement of Some Severity The Battle of Dam Number 1, Newport News, VA “Intelligence reached this city at an early hour yesterday morning that an engagement of some severity had taken place on the peninsula, on Wednesday afternoon, in which 10,000 men were engaged, 5000 on each side.”1 So began a contemporary newspaper account of the first major engagement of the Peninsula Campaign near Lee’s Mill, VA, on April 16, 1862. Compared to the later battles of the war, it was small in scope. However, it was the only major battle that took place during the Siege of Yorktown, from April 5 to May 4, 1862, and it proved to be an important indicator of things to come for the Union forces under Major General George B. McClellan. McClellan’s plan for the Peninsula Campaign called for the Army of the Potomac to deploy to Fortress Monroe in Hampton, VA, and then move up the Virginia Peninsula to Richmond. On April 3, 1862 McClellan ordered two divisions of the III Corps to move up the eastern side of the peninsula on the Yorktown Road and two divisions of the IV Corps to move up the west side of the peninsula on the Newport News Road.2 McClellan’s plan was sound. The vast majority of the Confederate forces in Virginia were deployed in the northern part of the state and the Shenandoah Valley, leaving only a small force on peninsula. The commander of those forces, Major General John Bankhead Magruder stated in his report on the campaign he had only 11,000 troops when McClellan’s forces advanced from Fortress Monroe. -

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. -
Indian Hieroglyphs
Indian hieroglyphs Indus script corpora, archaeo-metallurgy and Meluhha (Mleccha) Jules Bloch’s work on formation of the Marathi language (Bloch, Jules. 2008, Formation of the Marathi Language. (Reprint, Translation from French), New Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass. ISBN: 978-8120823228) has to be expanded further to provide for a study of evolution and formation of Indian languages in the Indian language union (sprachbund). The paper analyses the stages in the evolution of early writing systems which began with the evolution of counting in the ancient Near East. Providing an example from the Indian Hieroglyphs used in Indus Script as a writing system, a stage anterior to the stage of syllabic representation of sounds of a language, is identified. Unique geometric shapes required for tokens to categorize objects became too large to handle to abstract hundreds of categories of goods and metallurgical processes during the production of bronze-age goods. In such a situation, it became necessary to use glyphs which could distinctly identify, orthographically, specific descriptions of or cataloging of ores, alloys, and metallurgical processes. About 3500 BCE, Indus script as a writing system was developed to use hieroglyphs to represent the ‘spoken words’ identifying each of the goods and processes. A rebus method of representing similar sounding words of the lingua franca of the artisans was used in Indus script. This method is recognized and consistently applied for the lingua franca of the Indian sprachbund. That the ancient languages of India, constituted a sprachbund (or language union) is now recognized by many linguists. The sprachbund area is proximate to the area where most of the Indus script inscriptions were discovered, as documented in the corpora. -

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained. -

Gen. Charles Devens Commemorative Medal
GEN. CHARLES DEVENS COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL In celebration of the first Allied Orders National Encampment to be held in Massachusetts in more than three decades, a commemorative medal has been struck and is available for purchase by Allied Orders Members. The medal features one of the Bay State’s most distinguished sons, Brigadier General Charles Devens. Gen. Devens was the fifth Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the first from Massachusetts. He also served as Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, President of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and President of the Bunker Hill Memorial Association. General Devens was wounded in battle three times during the Civil War: at Ball’s Bluff, Chickahominy and Chancellorsville, and was brevetted Major General in recognition of his valor in the face of the enemy, at the personal request of General Ulysses S. Grant. He served as Attorney General of the United States under Rutherford B. Hayes and as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. This limited edition, numbered commemorative medals feature a portrait of General Devens and a list of his most noted accomplishments. Proceeds from the sale of the medals will be used to defray the cost of hosting the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders. The General Charles Devens Commemorative Medal will be $20 each, and will be available for purchase at the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders. Because there will be a limited number of medals struck, those wishing -

D.4YTON, OHIO: CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING HOUSE PRINT, 1884. 4 ^ TO MY COMRADES IN ARMS, THIS VOLUME IS FRATERNALLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. <rm-~^ "} PRE FA C E. 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.
