"WHIL~ it is doubtless true that _the story of th~ settlement of Cincin- nati has been often told, yet It must be admitted that but compara­ tively few of our citizens have any definite knowledge of the events which first led to the exploration of the Ohio Valley, the causes which for so many years deferred its settlement, and the perils and hardships endured by the pioneers; while most of them are familiar with the more important histor­ ical epochs. The ancient landmarks are being swept away by the demands of an ever increasing population. The old pioneers are falling like ripe grain before the sickle. Events of purely local interest are rapidly passing fron1 memory ; and the fact that the settlement of Cincinnati marked an era In the history of our common country full of interest to all, has been lost sight of or disregarded. To remedy this, to present a truthful, impartial, and readable account of the historical events which gave the first impetus to settling the great Northwest; the explorations of the Ohio Company; the border wars, which so long prevented its actual occupancy; its final settle­ n1ent; the campaigns of Harmar, St. Clair, and Wayne; the hardships, the trials, and struggles of the pioneers, and their mode of life ; the names of the founders of the city; its rapid growth and brilliant future, the author has devoted much time during the past several years, and the result of his labors are soon to be published in two large volumes. From the collection of historical facts colated for that purpose, the narrative contained in the following pages has been extracted, condensed, and published in a cheap forn1, to place within the reach of all matters of peculiar and particular interest in this centennial year. A. E. J. EXTRACTS FROM THE HISTORY OF CINCINN Ar·1. CHAPTER I. RIVAL CLAIMS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE TO THE TERRITORY NORTHWEST OF THE OHIO-INTERFERENCE OF INDIAN TRADERS \VITH FRENCH INFLUENCE vV ITH THE INDIANS. PRIOR to the treaty between England and France, in 1763, the title to the territory northwest of the Ohio River, between the Allegheny Mountains and the Mississippi River, was claimed by both the nations.· England claimed it by virtue of a treaty said to have been made by the Commissioners of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland with the Iroquois, or Six Nations, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1744. These Indians owned, or pretended to own, all the Northwest Territory as far west as the Mississippi River. and that southwest of the Ohio River as far south as the Carolinas and Georgia. According to their traditions, these land~ came into their possession and were held by right of conquest, their fathers, many years before, having conquered all the tribes possessing them. The right of the Six Nations to dispose of this territory has been a subject of n1uch discussion; but whether they had such rights i» but of little consequence now, either to its pres€nt inhabitants or to the purpose of this work, further than will assist in showing by whom, and under what circum­ stances the city of Cincinnati was first @xplored, and the difficulties that followed that exploration previous to its settlement. It is, however, certain that all the Indian tribes of the Northwest did not recognize as binding, the treaty of Lancaster, that of Logetown in I 7 5 2, that made at vVinchester in 1753, nor yet that of Fort Stanwix in 1768. That such a treaty was entered into at Lancaster in 1744, by the parties already mentioned> there is no doubt, although it has been charged that it (5) 6 HISTORY OF CINCINNATL was signed by the Indians while under the influence of spirituous liquors, a bounteous supply of which was furnished at the time by the Commissioners. The English strenuously insisted that the treaty was deliberately and fairly made, and that the Commissioners of Maryland paid two hundred and twenty pounds in gold, and those of Virginia two hundred and twenty pounds in gold, and the same amount in goods for the territory ceded. The French, on the other hand, as stoutly maintained that the same ter­ ritory belonged to the Crown of France by right of discovery, claiming that La Salle, in 1682, and Padra Marquette and his colleague, Jolliete, subjects of France, had crossed from Canada to the Mississippi in 1683, and de­ scended that river as far south as the Arkansai; River; and that this, according to an alleged maxim of international law, gave France a valid and indisputable title to all lands watered and drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries; and as Ohio was one of these, therefore all the territory drained by the Ohio and its tributaries belonged of right to the Crown of France; and furthermore, that the discovery of Marquette was nearly a century before the treaty with the Iroquois at Lancaster. .. To this claim of the French, England ans,vered that John Cabot and his son, Sebastian, explored the Atlantic coast, in North America, from Labra­ dor to Chesapeake Bay, in 1497, and had taken possession thereof in the name of the Crown of Great Britain; and that by reason of this discovery all the lands from the Atlantic west to the Pacific Ocean belonged to Great Britain, and that in 1684 Lord How€ made a treaty with the Five Nations, when they placed themselves under the protection of the British Government, and at the same time executed a deed of sale to the British Government of a vast tract of land south and east of the Illinois River, extending north across Lake Huron into Canada; and that another deed was made by the Chiefs of the Indian Confederacy in 1726, by which these same lands were conveyed in trust to England, to be protected and defended by his • Majesty for the use of the grantors and their heirs; and that France, at the treaty of Utrecht, had agreed not to invade the lands of the allies of Great Britain. The dispute, however, finally resolved itself into the questions : whether the tribes forming the Indian Confederacy were the allies of England, and whether they had conquered the tribes owning the territory in dispute. At the date of the treaty of Utrecht they were, unquestionably, allies of HISTORY OF CINCINNATI. 7 Great Britain; and the French, by invading these lands, violated one of the stipulations of that treaty, if the territory rightfully ,belonged to them. The evidence of their title, even by conquest, however, rested only on tradition, as they did not occupy the lands in dispute. Their claim may or may n8t have been just, and is one of those questions in history which can never be satisfactorily solved. Such were the flimsy foundations upon which England and France de­ termined to maintain their respective clai1ns, and which led to a long and bloody war. The most valuable part of the territory in dispute was between the great Lakes of the North and the Ohio River, inhabited by 1nixed tribes of savages, consisting of Delawares, Shawnees, Senecas, Mingoes, Iroquois and Mia1nies, over whom the French also pretended to hold a protectorate. French influence had, however, been seriously interfered with among them by traders from Pennsylvania, who had penetrated far into the western wilds, and becoming thoroughly acquainted with the Indian character, had established a lucrative traffic with them, carrying blankets, bright colored cloths, trinkets and ammunition (not forgetting whisky and rum) to the Indian towns, exchanging them for valuable furs, deer and buffalo skins. The traders, as a rule, were rough, lawless men, dressed in semi-Indian costume, and little better in th€ir manners and habits than the Indians then1- selves, and were exceedingly jealous of the interference of the French with what they claimed as their rights, acquired by the treaty of Lancaster be­ tween the Iroquois and the Commissioners of Maryland, Virginia and Penn­ sylvania. 8 HISTORY OF CINCINNATL CHAPTER II. ORGANIZATION OF THE OLD OHIO COMPANY-LA'\VRENCE AND AUGUSTINE WASHINGTON, BROTHERS OF GENERAL GEORGE \VASHINGTON, MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY-LAWRENCE WASHINGTON'S LIBERAL POLICY. EARLY in 17 49, a grand scheme to colonize the western country was conceived by 5ome of the most pro1ninent men of Virginia, among whom were Thomas Lee, President of the Council of Virginia; Augustine and L~wrence "½.,. ashington, elder brothers of George Washington; and John Hanbury, a wealthy merchant of London. An association was organized by these gentlemen under the name of the Ohio Company, now known as the Old Ohio Company, in contra.distinction to another which adopted the same title, organized in Boston in r 786, com­ posed principally of ex-revolutionary soldiers. The mother country encouraged this enterprise as one which would, if successful, enable it to possess itself of the coveted prize, and thereby 1nore firmly establish the claims of England, by actual occupancy.

Primary support was provided by the EU projects FP6-507142 SIMAC http://www.semanticaudio.org. iii iv Abstract The complexity of music is one of the less intensively researched areas in music information retrieval so far. Although very interesting findings have been reported over the years, there is a lack of a unified approach to the matter. Relevant publications mostly concentrate on single aspects only and are scattered across different disciplines. Especially an automated estimation based on the audio material itself has hardly been addressed in the past. However, it is not only an interesting and challenging topic, it also allows for very practical applications. The motivation for the presented research lies in the enhancement of human interaction with digital music collections. As we will discuss, there is a variety of tasks to be considered, such as collection visualization, play-list generation, or the automatic recommendation of music. While this thesis doesn’t deal with any of these problems in deep detail it aims to provide a useful contribution to their solution in form of a set of music complexity descriptors.

  • 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.

  • A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (Guest Post)*
    “A Prairie Home Companion”: First Broadcast (July 6, 1974) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Chuck Howell (guest post)* Garrison Keillor “Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, my hometown, out on the edge of the prairie.” On July 6, 1974, before a crowd of maybe a dozen people (certainly less than 20), a live radio variety program went on the air from the campus of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. It was called “A Prairie Home Companion,” a name which at once evoked a sense of place and a time now past--recalling the “Little House on the Prairie” books, the once popular magazine “The Ladies Home Companion” or “The Prairie Farmer,” the oldest agricultural publication in America (founded 1841). The “Prairie Farmer” later bought WLS radio in Chicago from Sears, Roebuck & Co. and gave its name to the powerful clear channel station, which blanketed the middle third of the country from 1928 until its sale in 1959. The creator and host of the program, Garrison Keillor, later confided that he had no nostalgic intent, but took the name from “The Prairie Home Cemetery” in Moorhead, MN. His explanation is both self-effacing and humorous, much like the program he went on to host, with some sabbaticals and detours, for the next 42 years. Origins Gary Edward “Garrison” Keillor was born in Anoka, MN on August 7, 1942 and raised in nearby Brooklyn Park. His family were not (contrary to popular opinion) Lutherans, instead belonging to a strict fundamentalist religious sect known as the Plymouth Brethren.

    SIGNIFICANCE OF THE UNITED STATES PUBLIC LAND SURVEY Jerry A. O'Callaghan Editorial Foreword The speech which follows relates to an episode in American his- tory that is intimately intertwined with Western Pennsylvania tradi- tion and has its roots deeply imbedded in its soil. The survey of the Mason and Dixon Line had been started in 1766 and halted by Indian hostility in southern Bedford County, in 1767. Not until 1784 was it feasible to complete the project to its intended five degrees measured from the Delaware River. A noted panel of scientists made up the survey team :Dr. James Ewing, Pro- vost of the University of Pennsylvania ;David Rittenhouse, mathema- tician and astronomer of the same institution; Dr. James Madison, Bishop of Virginiaand President of the College of William and Mary ; John Page of Virginia; John Lukens of Pennsylvania ;Andrew Elli- cott, surveyor of more state lines than any man of his day or since ; and Thomas Hutchins. Hutchins, it willbe remembered, had been present at and rendered most valuable service at every important event at Fort Pitt. InForbes' army he had merited favorable mention in reports, had been very useful to Engineer Captain Harry Gordon in building Fort Pitt, had assist- ed Gordon in the first mapping of the course of the Ohio River, had accompanied Bouquet, in1760, to establish Fort Presqu' Isle,had been Bouquet's engineer on his never-to-be-forgotten expedition into Ohio to quell Pontiac's Indian allies, in 1764, had been engineer in General Green's army in the South in the Revolution, and now enjoyed the appointment as Geographer of the United States.
