PREFACE
No section of the United States has experienced more changes of sovereignty than has Northwest
Ohio, and none has been the theater of more interesting historical events than this same division.
Contrasting with the romance of the coureurs du bois, who roamed the trackless forests, the
fascinating adventures of the early pioneers, and the marvelous achievements of the American
arms, history records for us the tragedy of the St. Clair defeat and the disastrous Crawford
campaign, as well as the infamous memoirs of the Girty renegades. It has been a matter of intense
interest and genuine pleasure to the writer to study the history of our section of the great State of
Ohio, and attempt to transcribe it into a connected narrative form. There have been many county
histories published, and two or three historical treatises of the Maumee Valley, as well as a
number of valuable histories of the entire State of Ohio, but in no instance, so far as the writer is
aware, has there been a separate history of the northwestern section of the state.
From an historical standpoint Northwest Ohio is almost an entity unto itself. The actual French
occupation did not extend much farther into the state than the territory covered by this history,
and the British settlements likewise were practically limited to the same section. More Indians
resided within the territory covered by these twenty counties than in any other part of Ohio, and it
practically includes the territory reserved for them by the Treaty of Greenville, in 1795. Several
of the most noted conflicts between the Americans and the aborigines took place upon this soil,
and it was also the scene of the principal conflicts in the War of 1812 that occurred west of the
Alleghenies, including one of the most famous victories of the American navy. It is also the arena
of the only war that Ohio has ever waged on her own account. Hence it will be seen that
Northwest Ohio deserves a history of its own, in which the important events can be elaborated
upon and afforded a fuller description than any work covering the entire state.
It has been the aim of the writer in the preparation of this work to transcribe the history into a
readable form, and to give the events the space that each deserves. He has also attempted to be
absolutely accurate in his statement of historical facts and events, and, where there is a conflict of
authority, to follow the one that seems to be the most reliable. Errors have undoubtedly occurred
in the work, for such is generally the case even when the greatest care and precaution have been
taken. Repetitions will occasionally be found of the same events in the narrative history and in
the county chapters. This has been unavoidable, and for it no apology is offered. There are
occasionally incidents in connection with these events that did not seem to be a part of the
general history, but which do have a particular interest in the county history, which is included
for that very purpose.
In each of the county chapters it has been the aim to include and condense the history of the
county and towns within the county, in the preparation of which I have had the counsel, and in
many cases the most valuable aid from residents within the counties, who have kindly acted as
advisory and contributing editors in the preparation of this work. It is believed that a great deal of
interest and
iii
iv - PREFACE
much valuable information will be found in the special chapters describing the part that
Northwest Ohio has had in literature, in education, in religion, in the wars, and in various other
activities. Some of these chapters have been difficult to prepare, because it was not easy to locate
the sources of accurate information. Some inaccuracies may be found, but the greatest care has
been taken in their preparation, and the writer has done the very best that he could under the
circumstances and with the data at his command.
The writer wishes to acknowledge special indebtedness to the "History of the Maumee Basin" by
his friend, the late Charles Elihu Slocum. Doctor Slocum spent many years in research and the
collection of historical data for his work. He also wishes to express his appreciation of the
courtesy of C. S. Van Tassel for permission to reproduce a number of illustrations from his
"Book of Ohio."
