Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.

  • Indiana Magaz Ine of History Volumelvii Septemeer1961 Number3
    INDIANA MAGAZ INE OF HISTORY VOLUMELVII SEPTEMEER1961 NUMBER3 The Impact of the Civil War on Indiana John D. Barnhart* The Civil War was the greatest challenge Indiana's democratic government had met. The war affected all of the citizens of the state, penetrated their vital social relations, and threatened their necessary and cherished organizations. The way the people met that challenge constitutes much of the history of the war years in Indiana. That all patriots yield obedience to the voice of the people when expressed in a constitutional manner and that all citizens unite in preserving the Union and the Constitution was the message of Abraham Lincoln to the people of Indiana as he journeyed from Springfield, Illinois, to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration as president of the United States. The next day, February 12, 1861, his fifty-second birthday, he was escorted to the railway station where he entrained for Cincinnati. Lincoln's Indianapolis appearance and speech were the subject of favorable comment by the Republican Daily Journal, but the Democratic Daily Sentinel declared him to be a theorist, a dreamer, and an impractical man who lacked the will and purpose to be a leader.' The attack upon Fort Sumter, April 12, 1561, stunned the people of Indiana and its sister states.2 When the news * The Indiana Civil War Centennial Commission requested publica- tion of the author's two chapters on the Civil War originally included in John D. Barnhart and Donald F. Carmony, Indiana: From F,rontier to Industrial Commonwealth (4 vols., New York, 1954). In preparing the chapters for this purpose they were combined into one, and some revision in style was attempted.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Gilmore Ancestry
    GILMORE ANCESTRY OR The direct line of descent from JOHN GILMORE The Massachusetts Immigrant Ancestor to PASCAL PEARL GILMORE And his grandchildren etc. ALSO The same in the corresponding lines of Pearl, Coombs and Spofford. Copyright, 1925 By PASCAL P. GILMORE Bucksport, Kaine Printed. by Bucksport Printing Co .• Bucksport, Me. TO MY WIFE, MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDCHILDREN THIS WORK IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED PREFACE For more than half a century the author has been collecting material for this brief ancestral record, has traveled many, many miles and been to much expense aside from the time, thought and patience essential in such pursuits. Accuracy has been the watch­ word, and all other features secondary. But for this persistent research there would have betn missing links that never could have been suppliE:d. The showing of a direct and unbroken line of descent from the immigrant ancestors of the four iamilies of Gilmore, Pearl, Coombs and Spofford, covering a period of nearly three hundred years is unique, and will we think, be appreciated. Perhaps it is superfluous tJ say that this comes far short of our dream of fifty ytars ago, .. Ithough in some respects it equals or exceeds the original idea. Some have bee:n included who logically had no place, but are mentioned, partly from sentiment and partly because reference to them might be helpful to readers or students of the future. None however, have been excluded who, considering the scope of the work, had a right to appear in these pages. We incline to the opinion that genealogy should be taught in schools or in places accessible to the public.
