Book Description
There really was a Great Black Swamp, although nearly all vestiges of it have long since disappeared. Thousands of years ago, the last great glacier, grinding its way southward, finally stopped and began to recede. Earth and gravel pushed before it resulting in uneven ridges called kames. Generally lying in an east/west direction, they interrupted the natural drainage of the area. The swamp was the result. Comprised of an elongated triangle, the swamp was roughly bounded on the south by a line from Sandusky, Ohio, to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the north by the Ohio-Michigan border. It was an area of forests, reeds, pools, and sandy ridges, which provided excellent habitat for a variety of creatures. There were deer, bear, elk, bobcat, lynx, wolves, as well as even a few forest buffalo. Smaller animals, such as rabbits, beaver, snakes, coyotes, and foxes, populated the area in great numbers. Birds of every type abounded, as did biting flies and mosquitoes. Perhaps the most spectacular dwellers of the Great Black Swamp were the gigantic and dangerous cousins of the elephant, the mastodon. That they were really living in that swampy environment cannot be contested as more than four hundred of their massive skeletons have been unearthed throughout Ohio. In a few cases, Paleo Indian artifacts have been discovered in association with the remains, proving that toward the end of the last ice age, early man successfully hunted them. During the westward movement following the revolution, the area was almost impassable. So bad were travel conditions at that time that a border war over a proposed boundary line between Michigan and Ohio never came about, partly because it was impossible for the Ohio militia to move its ordnance northward through the swamp! In the early eighteen hundreds, after some of the most grueling labor imaginable, much of the Great Black Swamp was effectively drained, resulting in some of the most productive agricultural acreage in the Midwest.

Book Description
Environmental history is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand how human-environment relationships and ecosystems have changed over time. Even with a focus on natural spaces, environmental history often examines land via socio-political barriers. This thesis aims to reconstruct that narrative by examining history through an ecosystem boundary. This collection of Great Black Swamp environmental history essays examines the use of place within a swampland ecosystem. It demonstrates the paradox of environmental history that humans can create affective connections to place and make decisions that harm those landscapes by examining the environment through a narrow and utilitarian perspective, ignoring interconnections. Chapters examine the erasure of environmental change at Fort Meigs Historic Site, Representative Delbert Latta "seeing like the state" in making 1970-80s environmental policy decisions, and the performative tradition of Earth Day at Bowling Green State University. While communities have an affective connection to the swampland, those relationships are changing and shifting in meaning. They must be critically analyzed and adapted, especially in an environment rapidly shifting from anthropocentric climate change.
