The Forts of Ohio: A Guide to Military Stockades Description

The Forts of Ohio: A Guide to Military Stockades
By Gary S Williams, Owen Williams (Photographer)

The earliest years of Ohio's recorded history were filled with conflict as Americans, Europeans and Native Americans struggled for control of the region. For the white intruders of this era, log forts became the key to survival in this wilderness. The story of these forts is the story of Ohio's beginnings and features some compelling tales.

At which Ohio fort:

Did one of the nation's most famous friendships begin when Lewis met Clark?
Did the officers write a Declaration of Independence that preceded the more famous one by 20 months?
Was a future President arrested for ordering that a civilian be given 50 lashes?
Did the besieged and starving garrison stampede their own relief convoy by firing their guns in celebration?
Was an American general, who was also a spy for Spain, suspected of trying to kill Anthony Wayne?
Did the commander name the post after his eleven-year-old daughter?
Did Tecumseh complain that the Americans "hide behind logs and in the earth like ground hogs"?
Did Commodore Perry send his famous message, "We have met the enemy and they are ours"?
