Book Description
This book tells the story of how it was that the authors ancestors, coming from a variety of countries and creeds and at different times, met in the northwest corner of Ohio and how it was that finally this movement across time and space would bring two people from widely differing backgrounds, her parents, together. Before northwest Ohio was officially opened to settlement by non-Indians, the authors paternal ancestors moved onto these lands, which in 1817 had been legally set aside as a reservation in perpetuity for the Shawnee Indian Tribe. As time passed, these settlers worked out satisfactory lives with their Indian neighbors and friends until the Shawnee were forcibly removed to Kansas in 1832. The authors maternal ancestors emigrated into the same area in the 1840s. Northwest Ohio would soon be populated by small towns and villages and cleared landscapes dotted by tidy farms. Slowly and regrettably, memories of the Shawnee and other tribes who had once inhabited this land faded as all thoughts were focused on the future. Maps and photos and a comprehensive Pedigree Chart, which traces the Kunz/Lause ancestry from its earliest known date in America in 1640 to the marriage of Viola Lause and Frederick Kunz in 1929, accompany the books narrative. The books index contains 31 surnames related to this bloodline.

Book Description
George Catlin's paintings and the vision behind them have become part of our understanding of a lost America. We see the Indian past through Catlin's eyes, imagine a younger, fresher land in his bright hues. But he spent only a few years in what he considered Indian country. The rest of his long life?more than thirty years?wasødevoted largely to promoting, repainting, and selling his collection?in short, to seeking patronage. Catlin and His Contemporaries examines how the preeminent painter of western Indians before the Civil War went about the business of making a living from his work. Catlin shared with such artists as Seth Eastman and John Mix Stanley a desire to preserve a visual record of a race seen as doomed and competed with them for federal assistance. In a young republic with little institutional and governmental support available, painters, writers, and scholars became rivals and sometimes bitter adversaries. Brian W. Dippie untangles the complex web of interrelationships between artists, government officials, members of Congress, businessmen, antiquarians and literati, kings and queens, and the Indians themselves. In this history of the politics of patronage during the nineteenth century, luminaries like Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, Henry H. Sibley, John James Audubon, Alfred Jacob Miller, and Karl Bodmer are linked with Catlin in a contest for the support of the arts, setting a precedent for later generations. That the contenders "produced so much of enduring importance under such trying circumstances," Dippie observes,"was the sought-for miracle that had seemed to elude them in their lives."
