Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... CUYAHOGA FALLS This township is an exception to all others on the KSscrve, in having neither Range, nor Number, and contains but four and one-eighth square miles. Instead of being five miles square, as are all the other Townships, this is only one and a fourth miles square, being the whole of Tract one, and forty rods wide on the North side of Tract five, originally in Tallmadge, and one eighth of a mile square from lots one, two, eleven, and twelve, in Stow; half a mile east and west, and one mile north and south, from lots eight and nine in Northampton, and one and a half miles east and west from the west part of Tract two in Portage. The Township is composed of the corners of four Townships, and was organized into a Township in April, 1851, for the purpose of accommodating the large and increasing business of the village of Cuyahoga Falls. Being thus taken from the corners of four Townships, it possesses no distinct range, nor number of its own, but lies in ranges ten and eleven, and townships two and three. As its name imports, it is on the falls of the Cuyahoga river, which here commence and continue for over two miles.--In this distance are three perpendicular falls--the upper one, near the village, is about twelve feet; the second, sixteen feet; the lower, or "Big Falls," twenty-two feet. Besides these there are continuous rapids the whole distance, forming some of the best water-power in the world. The river has cut a channel through the rocks from eighty to one hundred feet in depth, through which it rushes, among the fragments of rocks that have fallen from above, forming the most sublime scenery in Northern Ohio.

Book Description
In the mid-17th century, the Iroquois Confederacy launched a war for control of the burgeoning fur trade industry. These conflicts, known as the Beaver Wars, were among the bloodiest in North American history, and the resulting defeat of the Erie nation led to present-day Ohio's becoming devoid of significant, permanent Indian inhabitants. Only in the first quarter of the 18th century did tribes begin to tentatively resettle the area. This book details the story of the Beaver Wars, the subsequent Indian migrations into present Ohio, the locations and descriptions of documented Indian trails and settlements, the Moravian Indian mission communities in Ohio, and the Indians' forlorn struggles to preserve an Ohio homeland, culminating in their expulsion by Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act in 1830.
