In local history is found the power to accomplish all this. Steel may wear away, rust efi'ace the inscription on iron, wood decay, and even the marble rock break to pieces, but the page of history, once printed, is car ried down the river of time unchanging and unchangeable. How swiftly ans those men and women, who entered the wilderness in their youth, pass. Ing away! The great majority, even now, are in the homes of the silent, and few remain who can give all the details of the earliest settlement. Fortunately, their recollections are now preserved. A few more years and the whole unwritten history of Allen County should remain unwritten - lost for ever. Another few years and the brilliant story of progress would have to be based on fragmentary relations - disconnected, unsatisfactory, aggravat ing. Local history comes forward to rescue ten thousand facts and names from oblivion, and place them where the historian of the future may grasp the whole Union and give to each of its parts a complete sketch. Not alone should the history of pioneer times be treated fully and impartially, but also the present. The whole fabric of society,-the home, school, church, governmental and benevolent organizations, and all these industries and associations which bind men's interests together - should be traced down from the humble beginnings of 1831 to our own days, making a record complete and impartial for the future. This age of progress Is reviewed and compared with the quiet, unostentatious long ago. Commer cial, military and political enterprises are detailed, nothing which might be thought worthy of mention is omitted, and thus every name and deed are entwined with the history of the country.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of the Northwest Territory, a region encompassing present-day states like Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota. It meticulously traces the exploration and settlement of this vast area, beginning with the early French expeditions led by intrepid figures such as LaSalle, Marquette, and Joliet in the 17th century. The narrative then shifts to the escalating tensions between the French and English as both nations vied for control of the resource-rich Ohio Valley in the 18th century. Central to the book's exploration is the intricate interplay between European powers and Native American tribes, highlighting the complex dynamics of trade, diplomacy, and conflict that shaped the region's destiny. The author provides insightful accounts of key historical events, including the French and Indian War, and delves into the lives of pioneers who braved the wilderness to establish settlements in this untamed frontier. Through its exploration of the Northwest Territory's formative years, this book offers a profound reflection on themes of exploration, colonization, and the enduring legacy of cultural encounters.
