ed. From that the Indians In Ohio
were either scattered vagabonds, ol
lived in small bands on the reserva
tons. The last of these was the
remnant of the once powerful tribe
of Wyandnts, who. in 1916. were
wded from their home in Wyan.
dot. county, Ohio, to tie Kansas
river.
During the whole period Of the
early settlement, from 1871 to 1913.
an irregular war existed between the
indians and he settlers. Treaties
We're repeatedly made. and as often
violated. Ii is the same old story
since the discovery of America bv
Cululnl us, but in Ohio the struggle
was checkered by 'lanv battles and
some sad defeats. In 1890. the
murders and depredati ms hv the
Indians became so gene raj that the
Government fitted out q strong eX
pedi:ion uuder General Harmer. but
it resulted disastrously. During the
following year Il much more forInid
able force, under General St. Clair,
was sent against the Indians; but
this again. after partial successes,
was surprised and disastro,isly de
| feate'3. In 1884 Il still greater force
WAS organized. under the command
OF General WAYNE, the Mad An
thony" OF The Revolution; aud this
expedition resulted in the utter de
! feat ot the Indians, the burning oi
ton by the British of the Westeru
i forts Then came the treaty ol
