Book Description
In the Ohio River-Great Lakes region, decades of conflict between pioneer settlers and Native American nations erupted into full-scale war in the 1790s. As new communities such as Cincinnati, Columbia, and North Bend were founded throughout the vast Miami Purchase, southern Ohio became the bloody battleground of this nameless war. To counter the ever-present threat of attack, southwestern Ohio's pioneering settlers "forted up" in small stockades and fortified cabins that offered some protection for their families. Today, nothing is visibly left of these vital protective "stations" except a few historic markers or local cemeteries. In this book, you will discover their people, their stories, their locations, and their role in the war that ended with the Treaty of Greeneville in 1795, and how and why some of them developed into the southern Ohio communities that we know today.

Book Description
Herrin, Illinois, has seen many dramatic events unfold in the nearly two hundred years since it was a bell-shaped prairie on the frontier. Now, Herrin native John Griswold, a writer and teacher at the University of Illinois, provides the first comprehensive history of this most American city, a place that in its time became not just a melting pot, but a cauldron.

Explore the roots of the vicious Herrin Massacre of 1922 and learn why the entire nation has focused its gaze on this small Midwestern city so many times. Incorporating the most recent scholarship, interviews, and classic histories and narratives, this brief and entertaining history is illustrated with more than seventy-five archival photos that help tell this important American story.

Book Description
"In this military history, Gaff documents the British and French influence, the famed battle at Fallen Timbers, and the Treaty of Greeneville, which ended hostilities in the region. His account brings to light alliances between Indian forces and the British military, demonstrating that British troops still conducted operations on American soil long after the supposed end of the American Revolution."--BOOK JACKET.

The children, walking towards the wharf, saw a few more flamingoes, which pleased their eyes. After this Dinah announced that Nell must return home. In Egypt, after days which even in winter are often scorching, very cold nights follow, and as Nell's health demanded great care, her father, Mr. Rawlinson, would not allow her to be near the water after sunset. They, therefore, returned to the city, on the outskirts of which, near the Canal, stood Mr. Rawlinson's villa, and by the time the sun plunged into the sea they were in the house. Soon, the engineer Tarkowski, Stas' father, who was invited to dinner arrived, and the whole company, together with a French lady, Nell's teacher, Madame Olivier, sat at the table...FROM THE BOOKS.
