Book Description
Excerpt from Early Travelers to Fort Wayne Having concluded my surveys for this season, I wished to view the country between the St. Mary's and the Miami [maumee] rivers, in order to examine for myself the practicability of uniting the Wabash with the Mi ami so as to render intercourse by water safe and easy between the Ohio and Lake Erie through the channel. I set out yesterday from Shane's Cross ing on the St. Mary's and, traveling through a district of good land on or near the right bank of that river for forty miles, reached this place early in the evening and early this morning I set off to look at the junction of the St. Joseph and the St. Mary's, which two streams form the Miami River. The St. Joseph River, rising in the Michigan Territory, runs south westerly about two hundred miles, receiving in its course several tributary streams. The St. Mary's, rising in Shelby County, Ohio, runs northwest erly more than two hundred miles (including its meanderings). Forming a junction from nearly opposite points, the rivers turn suddenly south and assume the name of Miami of the Lakes, or, as pronounced by the French, Maumee. Then, turning gradually round again, these congregated waters flow off in a northeast direction about two hundred miles, following the course of the river to the southwest end of Lake Erie.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fort Wayne in 1838Whatever relates to the early history of the place of long residence is of much interest, and more, if time has thrown the period of early incidents far into the past, or if the march of improvement has removed nearly every vestige of early appear ance. For this purpose we shall, for a few days, change the bill of fare which we ordinarily set before our readers, and go back twenty-two years, and after noticing a few places on the road most generally then traveled to and from Fort Wayne, give a bird's-eye view of this place as it appeared in March and during the summer of 1838, hoping to thereby induce others whose history goes back of that period, to give some of their recollections.About the first of March, 1838, the writer for the first time leaving home in Dearborn County, Indiana, was mounted on horse and turned face northward for Fort Wayne, then one of the outposts, and which was reached only after long and tedious journeyings. But it so happened that the ground was frozen, and on it laid a deep and well-packed snow, the depth of which continued to increase as we each day neared the city of our destination, and which we reached on sleds, sleighs, and jumpers, and on horse over the Piqua Road to Fort Wayne.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fort Wayne in 1790 The Miami Indians, the French, and the British early realized the importance of the site at the junction of the St. Mary's and St. Joseph rivers. Their forces vied for control, which would assure command of the strategic Maumee-Wabash portage. Henry Hay, merchant, traveler, and British partisan, recorded in his Journal the social life and customs of the inhabitants of Miamitown (present-day Fort Wayne) in the winter of 1790-91. The Indiana Historical Society has graciously granted permission to reprint the account, which appeared in its Publications. The Boards and the Staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County present this publication in the hope that it will be interesting and informative to Library patrons.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Old Fort Wayne Wayne was called to save the nation. The campaign in Ohio and Indiana, which was to give peace to the frontier and loosen the British grip upon the Northwest was the crowning work of Wayne's life. Strictly speaking, the war that called Wayne to the frontier was a prolongation of the War of the Revolution. Though the treaty of peace made with England had been rati fied, it had not been carried out, and while the British could no longer claim territory to the south of the Great Lakes, they encouraged the Indians to hold and fight for these broad lands. In 1792 Washington appointed General Wayne commander-in-chief of the American Army and he was ordered to Pittsburgh to organize troops for the purpose of subduing these Indian tribes. This company was called the Legion of the United States, and the men for the command were gath ered by sweeping the streets and prisons of the eastern cities of their beg gars, tramps, and criminals, and let it be remembered that this was the second sweeping, the first having gone to St. Clair.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Burgeoning Interest in Local History in Fort Wayne, 1887-1894 General Lee, a pleasing speaker, made the principal address and by his colorful recital of the old wars charmed and instructed his audience for upwards of an hour. He said that the revolutionary soldiers of Virginia were given this vast domain in which to lo cate their land claims, and then the Twelve Nations of Indians combined to prevent farther encroachments on their territory. A line of forts was erected from Fort Hamil ton, at Cincinnati, to Greenville, thence to the Au glaize River and to Fort Wayne, Defiance, Maumee and even to Detroit.
