Book Description
This historical reference accounts for the first decade of the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division's place within the United States Army Corps of Engineers (U.S.A.C.E.) and its navigational projects that began in 1824. The Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, formed in 1997, manages two magnificent water resource systems--the Great Lakes and the Ohio River basin. The Great Lakes and Ohio River Division inherited command of seven district offices located in Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Huntington, Louisville, Nashville, and Pittsburgh. In this first decade of service, this division saw many critical changes. This resource traces those changes from the formative challenges of 1997 through the millennium matrix, global deployment, and regional management years into an urgent military construction program at the end of its first decade. It underscores numerous challenges and accomplishments during this timeframe from historical phases to current resolutions.

Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest
Author: Susan Sleeper-SmithPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469640597
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest recovers the agrarian village world Indian women created in the lush lands of the Ohio Valley. Algonquian-speaking Indians living in a crescent of towns along the Wabash tributary of the Ohio were able to evade and survive the Iroquois onslaught of the seventeenth century, to absorb French traders and Indigenous refugees, to export peltry, and to harvest riparian, wetland, and terrestrial resources of every description and breathtaking richness. These prosperous Native communities frustrated French and British imperial designs, controlled the Ohio Valley, and confederated when faced with the challenge of American invasion. By the late eighteenth century, Montreal silversmiths were sending their best work to Wabash Indian villages, Ohio Indian women were setting the fashions for Indigenous clothing, and European visitors were marveling at the sturdy homes and generous hospitality of trading entrepots such as Miamitown. Confederacy, agrarian abundance, and nascent urbanity were, however, both too much and not enough. Kentucky settlers and American leaders—like George Washington and Henry Knox—coveted Indian lands and targeted the Indian women who worked them. Americans took women and children hostage to coerce male warriors to come to the treaty table to cede their homelands. Appalachian squatters, aspiring land barons, and ambitious generals invaded this settled agrarian world, burned crops, looted towns, and erased evidence of Ohio Indian achievement. This book restores the Ohio River valley as Native space.
Building the Past

Pages : 437
Book Description
The study of ancient architecture reveals much about the social constructs and culture of the architects, builders, and inhabitants of the structures, but few studies bridge the gap between architecture and archaeology. This comprehensive examination of sites in the Ohio Valley, going as far north as Ontario, integrates structural engineering and wood science technology into the toolkit of archaeologists. Presenting the most current research on structures from pre-European contact, Building the Past allows archaeologists to expand their interpretations from simply describing postmold patterns to more fully envisioning the complex architecture of critical locations like Hopewell, Moorehead Circle, and Brown’s Bottom.
