Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. The Kentucky Frontiersman, The Connecticut Yankee, and Little Turtle's Granddaughter : A Blending of Cultures - The Story of William Wells and Sweet Breeze, and Their Descendants. Marilyn Van Voorhis Wendler. This is the story of three generations of a frontier family and the parts they played in the cultural, social and economic development of what was known in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century as the 'far west.' The progenitor of the family, William Wells-the 'Kentucky Frontiersman,' a familiar name in frontier literature, married Sweet Breeze, the daughter of Miami Chief Little Turtle. Both Little Turtle and Wells believed that a lasting peace could be accomplished by bringing their two cultures together, and the children of Wells and Sweet Breeze were instrumental in achieving this goal. Their daughter, Mary-Little Turtle's granddaughter, married James Wolcott, a 'Connecticut Yankee.' Mary and James Wolcott and their descendants made lasting contributions to the culture and history of the lower Maumee Valley in Ohio. The Wolcott House, on the banks of the Maumee River, is a tangible symbol of their conviction that two civilizations could live together in harmony.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Located in northwestern Ohio, Maumee boasts a long and storied history. For centuries, the Ottawa Indians and their predecessors called the territory home. Both French and British traders traveled the Maumee River in search of pelts, until the defeat of the Indian Confederacy at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 and the American victory in the War of 1812 secured the area for settlement. Maumee was platted in 1817. This exciting pictorial history traces the development of this fascinating city through more than 200 vintage images taken from the author's personal collection, and that of local collector Jack Hiles and many longtime residents. By the turn of the century, Maumee was typical of most small, Midwestern towns. Confirmations, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and family gatherings were standard rites of passage, and were thoroughly documented by local photographers. Holidays were good excuses for community parades, picnics, and programs, and these events were also captured on film. Citizens turned out to celebrate the town's Centennial in 1938, and the spectacular Sesquicentennial Fourth of July parade fifty years later. Also documented are the changing streetscapes from the early 1900s, to the modernization efforts of the 1950s and 60s, and finally, the restoration of the 80s and 90s.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Maumee, Ohio, rich in history from the Battle of Fallen Timbers to its economic renaissance, proudly preserves its past and present.Maumee, Ohio, situated on the banks of the Maumee River, once a major transportation artery between West and East, was utilized by Native Americans, French, British, and, lastly, Americans. In 1794, it was the scene of the decisive Battle of Fallen Timbers, securing the territory for the United States. During the War of 1812, it was again the site of major confrontations between Americans (Ft. Meigs), British, and Native Americans (Ft. Miami). The American victory opened the area for settlement and Maumee became a major shipping and shipbuilding center during the 1820s to the 1850s. The coming of the Wabash Canal prompted the prediction that Maumee would become the "Greatest City in the West." Larger ships and the advent of the railroad soon dashed speculative hopes and Maumee settled into a sleepy village while still retaining many of the homes of early entrepreneurs, ordinary citizens, churches, and historical sites. A twentieth century economic renaissance resulted in the thriving community. Today, residents take pride in their past, present, and future, and Maumee's designation by the National Civic League in 2006 as "All American City.".…
