Book Sixty Years  War for the Great Lakes  1754 1814

Download or read book Sixty Years War for the Great Lakes 1754 1814 written by David Curtis Skaggs and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sixty Years' War for the Great Lakes contains twenty essays concerning not only military and naval operations, but also the political, economic, social, and cultural interactions of individuals and groups during the struggle to control the great freshwater lakes and rivers between the Ohio Valley and the Canadian Shield. Contributing scholars represent a wide variety of disciplines and institutional affiliations from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Collectively, these important essays delineate the common thread, weaving together the series of wars for the North American heartland that stretched from 1754 to 1814. The war for the Great Lakes was not merely a sideshow in a broader, worldwide struggle for empire, independence, self-determination, and territory. Rather, it was a single war, a regional conflict waged to establish hegemony within the area, forcing interactions that divided the Great Lakes nationally and ethnically for the two centuries that followed.

Book House of Grace  House of Blood

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An innovative collection of docupoetry, Houses of Grace, House of Blood weaves images and documents from the 1782 massacre of pacifist Delawares in Gnadenhutten, Ohio into poems that explore contradictions: settler colonists and Indigenous perspectives; violence and reconciliation; body and spirit; history and silence. Ultimately, these poems not only reconstruct an important historical event, they put pressure on the archive, asking us to question not only what is remembered, but how history is remembered-and who is forgotten from it"--

Book David Zeisberger

    Book Details:
  • Author : Earl P. Olmstead
  • Publisher : Kent State University Press
  • Release : 1997
  • ISBN : 9780873385688
  • Pages : 478 pages

Download or read book David Zeisberger written by Earl P. Olmstead and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Zeisberger: A life among the Indians offers the unique perspective of a Moravian missionary who lived and worked for sixty-three years among the Iroquois and Delaware nations in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Upper Canada. Earl P. Olmstead's narrative draws on thousands of pages of Zeisberger's own diaries, some of which are translated here for the first time. The diaries offer insights into the role of wampum in tribal government, problems resulting from the mass Euro-American western migration, and incidents of duplicity on the parts of both the American government and Native American nations. Of particular interest are Zeisberger's descriptions of Native American life in the years surrounding the French and Indian War and the American Revolution and the effects of these conflicts on the nations that lived in Ohio Country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A True History of the Massacre of Ninety-Six Christian Indians, at Gnadenhuetten, Ohio, March 8th, 1782 In order to perpetuate the memory of the ninety-six Christian Indians, who, on the 8th of March, 1782, fell innocent victims to the savage ferocity of a lawless band of whites, and whose meek endurance of suffering, crowned with a triumphant death, is worthy of commemoration, a society was formed and organized in October, 1843, having for its object the erection of a suitable monument on the spot where the massacre was perpetrated, near the present village of Gnadenhuetten, in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. This Society, having obtained the control of a part of the ground whereon the former Indian village of Gnadenhuetten stood, containing about six acres, and where the location of the 'slaughter-houses' can still be identified, has fenced it in, partially cleared off the underbrush with which it was overgrown, and in other respects improved and beautified it. But the Society being, as yet, small, and its funds inadequte to the end in view, begs leave to lay its object before the christian community, with a request for assistance. An effort will be made, . should sufficient aid be granted. to erect a plain, but durable monument on the spot where the massacre was committed, during the next season. Any donation for this purpose transmitted to any one of the officers of the Society, will be gratefully acknowledged.

Wallace gathers the diaries and journals of John Heckewelder to prepare this engrossing account of a man who traveled extensively in the Western frontier in the service of the Moravian Church and the United States government, and recorded a great deal of early American history along the way. Heckewelder also lived among the Indians for nearly sixty years, learning their languages, sharing their activities, and wrote vividly of his life with them. Between 1762 and 1813 he crossed the Allegheny Mountains thirty times and made numerous trips down the Ohio River as far south as Kentucky, and along the Great Lakes to Detroit. Heckewelder tells of the first great migration of whites into the West, and also wrote of the early settlements in many important cities, including Detroit, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Schenectady and Albany.
